Default Raced an EVO...NOT!

So most of you know that I recently got my '97 SS up and running again, just a little bit better than stock, lol. Well I've seen a few EVO's zipping around but I have never gotten a chance to race one until yesterday. I crusing home form work and I see a all-black EVO. Carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber trunk, after market wheels, big exhaust, I'm thinking he might be game. So I get behind him at a light. He takes off normal at first and then punches it, I can tell by the smoke coming out of his exhaust. I'm like no you don't and I punch it....DAT DAT DAT DAT DAT...snapped my TA.

I replaced it last night with a new stock TA w/ a poly torque arm mount and installed a poly trans mount along with it.

Haha. I do, that's why I asked for the master cylinder for the other car. I'm going to be fixing that one after work today. Anyone is welcome to help out.

It broke where it bolts up to the diff. When I removed it, Little pieces fell off.

Worst part is, I took the TA from my '99 SS and installed in on my '97 SS Thursday night because I couldn't get a hold of one before the next day and my '99 is having clutch hydraulic problems. So I pick up another TA from a buddy last night and installed it. Well I replace my bad master cylinder on my '99 only to discover that my slave cylinder is also bad...now to make it simpler to drop the tranny, I have to remove and install the TA all over again.
