lol, yup and the sub boxes and 8 slabs of beers in the boot, and ditch the two fat chicks squashed in the back...

Actually keep them, that will work better than sand bags keeping the rear wheels planted to the tarmac

axle is fixed,what I cant understand is they were new strengthened axels than stock ones and somehow snapped all the insides of the axle not the actually bar itself.

Unfortunately that's what happens in manuals the drive shaft goes from no load to full load in a split second and that stuffs em unlike autos that have the load on the drive line at all times. lucky it was no the box the 65s (behind 6 litres)will take a bit more than the 60s (behind 5.7s) but they really should get built up.

I was lucky enough to have M32 rebuilt and shift kitted when I bought it, so its held out so far just so long is the next question
