Pretty sure I just grenaded my diff.

86_ZN6 · 07-01-2013, 06:09 PM

I just witnessed a high speed accident happen beside/infront of me.

An old pickup truck was driving beside me at 75 mph along 80 and his tires exploaded. Spun out 3x before hitting the center divider.

I did some evassive maneuvers and avoided collision.

I was driving the eclipse

I hope he's alright. He hit that divided pretty hard

No, happened when I was just driving down the road! LOL. I did have a lot of wheel spin at autoX yesterday so I think they diff was already coming apart some.

I'm sure autoX ware did this. Who else has launched their car over 200 times near 5K RPMs with super sticky tires?

That sucks. Are you going to replace it with OEM or something stronger? Is there anything else besides the Cusco one yet?

RC51ed · 07-02-2013, 12:18 AM

Damn that sucks, I wonder if it covered under warranty?

BlaineWasHere · 07-02-2013, 12:28 AM

It should be covered under warranty. Nothing that failed has been modded and I'm still within my factory warranty.

take out any evidence that it is a track/ autoX car. the guys from CSG had a warranty claim denied since it showed some evidence of it being abused on the track

yeah, but if they are diligent they can find out pretty easily. If you have youtube videos of yourself autoxing and SCCA/AAS etc. sites have autox event results posted with your name on them, then they will find the info if you didn't use a pseudonym. :/
