That really sucks, especially since you weren't abusing it. Best of luck with your 12 bolt search.

I haven't had it at the track in a month or so, I've been running around on street tires, BFG TA KDW's. Needless to say I think the failure was caused by TOO MUCH spinning, and I either broke the pin holding the side gears and spider gears earlier, it just decided to let go at the carwash. Now I'm driving my sisters 3800 V6 Delta 88 U-BOAT... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
