pic of my diff explosion
anyone wanna figure out how it happened? i have solid diff mounts, a diff brace, and a kaaz diff. the r&p both have chips in them, and that brace that runs through the ppf is cracked right in the middle. i'm still kinda baffled

well, i just replaced the clutch pack in the kaaz. the other one burned up from bad shimming. i had just pulled a 1.66 60ft with nitto 555r's, the pass before that one and thought i could do it again. the diff apparently wanted no more. i really have no clue what happened. there was no wheelhop at all. i was running on pump gas, which i put down 439whp on.

Holy sh*# man!! That is friggin awsome. Very impresive. You did your job completely!!
That said I am suprised Jimlab hasn't chimed in here, Ford cobra rear end anyone? I know you have a Kaaz. So do I but damn that was a major weak spot... Caused IMO by the Diff brace in sales rite now!
Man I never thought I would see that 80 pound terd get ripped apart like that! Again, Very nice job! That must have made a pretty nice sound when it happened too.
