hey guys i just wanted to share my damage pix of my ppf....i been reading up on the forum about every1s ppf breaking or spliting in half...or even just a crack...well i'd like to share my 3 wonderfule seperated peices of my recently removed ppf....and of course its replacement...lol...enjoy
sniffle

 

What did you replace it with?...mazdaspeed ppf?..

You sure the old one was broken? LOL. That must have made some terrible noises.

Wow. I've seen em cracked, but I don't think I've ever seen one busted in half. Impressive!

Any insight as to how it broke? (ie, hard launch at the drag strip, etc...)

Mazdaspeed ppf is the way to go. I've had mine for years and no problems whatsoever

 

yea what did you to to break it? I launch hard and get some nasty wheel hop but mines never had any issues
that was probably upgraded in 94 as well lol
93's = teh suck

 

i actually dont kno what i did....one day i jus noticed my tranny shaken alittle...and i was just crusing around then BAM!!! i was like wtf is that! every time i would let the engine decelerate it would make a hardcore grinding sound....im guessing it was cracked for awhile and i didnt notice it then it had it and just broke completely into 3 pieces....i was even amazed that i didnt notice it...but now that i think about it explaines soooooooo manys things that i wondered why this and that was acting werid....lol....

 

Have you checked you drivers side motor mount recently. My mount wen't bad and caused my PPF crack in three places. After welding it up and adding some steel plates over the cracks, also made a new mount using aluminum and polyuethane, I wen't to the drag strip (joliet IL)with a pair of slicks. The last run of the day I heated up the slicks real good and then launched, but only heared a bang, it felt like it had sliped out of gear. to my dismay my diff. pumpkin was shattered apart, and diff fluid leaked all over the track. the point of my story is I think it started with extra HP>bad motor mount>cracked PPf. witch must have started some hair line cracks in the diff. the combo of the freshly welded and strengthend PPF, and drag slicks lead my diff to it's death.

 

ill take a look at it...plus i was thinking of getting solid mounts anyway...just i dont know where to get them, or how to install...but i always willing to learn

 

I like the new PPF . My condolences to your old one .
