i can break my axle too!!
well, after moving the cobra out of the garage today to help jen take out her transmission, i go to move the cobra on the street, and i find a spot of oil. curious to what it is, i do the smell test, and to my surprise, its gear oil. all i could think is, how the hell could that be more on the left side and not in the middle where the diff cover is...well...i will let the pics speak for themselves....
someone will be making a trip to PSR here soon...
so i guess all them hard launchs are starting to catch up with me...

OUCH! Sorry to see that Tony. What's the plan, sticking with the 8.8 solid rear or are you going to go the way of the 9?

As long as everything is straight and in good working order, I don't see why some welding and then maybe bracing the axles would be sufficient.

Amen to the fundage. These cars seem to have a great ability to leave you with a big grin on your face while leaving your wallet dry

funny...indy said the same thing..lol. it does not look to have pulled away too far, which may play in my favor. i did not notice anything different on the drive home last weekend, but from looking at the mess on the gas tank, i drove across town like that. so i am gonna put a quart in it and limp it to the shop and hopefully it can just be welded and braced up a little. remember how i was thinkin something was not happy on my car, well, guess i found it. lol...

Old bent tire probably looked at your car funny causing that weld to break.
