Talking How to remove rearend/subframe the easy way! PICS!

Last night we took out the rear differential out of my car. This is the proper way to remove a rear subframe.

Before we really started tearing it down:


Me getting ready to put in work.


Then you hook it up to a diesel truck and hoik it on it's side:




Here is a computer nerd carving his web site address into the paint with an impact gun:


Later, in a very scientific manner, we decided to test the integrity of the dual-pane glass Lexus uses on its windshields. We were a bit disappointed with the results. If you were to drive down the road at approximately 30mph and someone were to throw an AC compressor at your car, it would puncture into the cabin of the vehicle. Bad Lexus!



hope you enjoyed!!

Hurts to see an SC like that, but all good things come to an end.

LMAO @ throwing an AC compressor at the windshield. I'll be sure to watch out for those on the road today

It's just a car man, I bought it from a salvage yard and stripped it down so it's not like I smash up my SC for fun. The car was totaled out and was not repairable. Now have a laugh, you should have seen the peoples faces that were walking and driving past hahah.

Dang, you guys take this SC crap too seriously. It is just a car and there are plenty of them. Unlike Supras we can find our cars everywhere and for cheap. Its not often when we get to see someone have some fun with their car. If you havent finished with it, let me mail you something heavy and you can throw it at the car for me.

hahaha memories...

We had a junkyard beater Camry that received the same fate before it was hauled away.

It got the same treatment thru the windshield with one alternator, exhaust manifold, spare tire, and the icing on the cake... the exhaust midpipe launched like a javelin thru the glass...

It's amazing how something so simple and seemingly pointless can make a pack of grown men giggle like school girls.

Not to mention the roundhouse kicks to the fenders, the hood surfing, the reverse door slamming, and the trunk chucking.

If you've never owned a "shootin' car" I highly recommend it if you have the space.

Good times.

Thanks for the pics.
