accufab throttle body shaft breakage
i left on the brake, car spun went to let out, an the pedal moved but didnt effect the engine. it was on the chip headed to the wall ,,i got the car shut down right before impact,,if u have the old one sided shaft throttle body i would not trust it,,ive did my part to warn, i hope u guys a safe season,,i wish everyday that someone would have warned me,,

it took 2.1 seconds to hit the wall,,,killing the power didnt help much, just wasnt enough real estate to slow down. that link is a vid of the crash,, sorry its not that great but the guy filming was on my team an afriend for25 years so it scared him , an he droped the camera an then when he picked it up u see a ball of flames.

they changed there shaft design to a split shaft , which seems to be twice as strong,, i just wish they would have posted the problem with the old shaft an maybe i wouldnt have got hurt. Thats why im on here now hoping if someone has the old one like i did,that i could let them no before a problem accured.
