This might be an interesting thread..
What have you grenaded in your car since you have had it.
Here is the list of mine..

Stock Tranny Mount- first 2 weeks of having it, got Energy Suspension one
Factory 10-Bolt Carrier- as soon as I put on my 17x9.5 Z06's with 275/40 BFG's, killed it on a test drive
Blew a Head Gasket cause the EGR Malfunctioned with the Hotcam, ran a little too lean, rebuilt the upper end.
Spun a Rod Bearing during a pass at Memphis, then spun all the Main Bearings. Killed the factory Engine with that..
Re-built the Engine with a kick *** setup, bolted on some MT ET Streets and killed the factory S.R.T.A. 4L60E(had 25k miles) as well as the Ring & Pinion in the Rear messing with a friend of mine from a roll.
Got that all rebuilt with Motive 3.73 Gears, and a fully built 4L60E with a Corvette 2000 Stall.
And the latest, ripped the Torque Arm off of the Differential Housing. That might of been partially me there..
Break it and built it better..

Lets hear them guys..

Trans mount, replaced with energy suspention mount
4L60e, converted to a T56
Centerforce clutch, replaced with a SPEC stage 4
Blew the yolk off the rear end, replaced with another stock one
Opti died, replaced with a stock replacement
Broke driverside rear axel, replaced with used stock unit
Blew the spider gears out of differential, replaced with used Zexel from an SS
Blew the yolk off the rear end a second time, replaced with another stock one
Broke #3 exhaust spring and bent #3 intake and exhaust pushrods, replaced all springs with Comp 987s and Comp pushrods
Wore out SPEC stage 4 clutch after 50,000 miles, Replaced it with McLeod street twin.

That brings me to where I am today. Im about to finish up my rear end install. Im in the process of installing a "built" (Kindof and oxymoron)10 bolt with 4.10s, T/A girdle, Moser axels and Zexel HD diff. Now with 4.10s and a street twin Ill probably break alot more parts.
