Broke the car at the track...PICS
Went to the track the other day so I can get a feel of the car. I was on low boost (15psi) and pump gas. I wasn't trying to get a good time or anything. I was just trying to get a feel of the car and see how it acts in 4th, since I don't really drive anywhere to test it. I was pretty much just trying to get a good Mph.
Anyway, I stagged next to Scott (Ki Soarer)in his bone stock 5 speed SC. He got me off the line haha. I bogged and got a ****ty 60 foot, lag lag lag, then when it it 4000 it took off, hit second, wheel hop wheel hop! clank clank clank!!! ahh shoot.....
I also noticed when I was under the car,the driveshaft hit the e brake cables and sliced them .

I dropped the driveshaft off at the local driveline place and it should be back next week.

In all seriousness I've never heard of a driveshaft being repaired and coming out half as strong as it used to be, which in your case was not strong enough to begin with.
