I keep breaking things... Good or Bad?
I was driving to work and was almost there when I heard this noise. It was kinda loud and when I slowed down all I could hear was grinding and clicking. Then the car wouldn't move after I stopped.
I got the car over to Nemo at Rage-Tek and he lifted it to see what happened. And we found out that I broke the differential. Luckily I have a spare as well as spare axles, and a brand new quaife LSD. So they are going on as we speak.
My engine must be strong if I'm breaking everything around it. What do you think? Is this good or bad?

Stock diff got me well into the 10's. Sucks that you keep breaking stuff causing you to upgrade though. Text me I've got some info on something you can do to help also and make it stronger. Can't let all the secrets out on here right

Heard that far too often not too long ago. Problem was it was in my MX days and broken bikes usually equalled broken bones. I have a few of those (clavicle,ribs,elbow,wrist,finger,toe,and by far the worse was the femur). I've always tried to build cars as reliable as possible and aiming for higher goals than I was likely to meet knowing they would be more reliable. A friend has a 1100+hp LSX on moderate boost that he drives around all the time at 7-800hp and beats on it non stop and has yet to break anything. Good lesson learned there.

Build it properly and don't abuse it and you will have better luck with reliability....
