Bah, its just money. Spend it before the gov gets it and find a really good accountant My alcantera interior slips came in. That is for the Bling part of my BSP build!

This is why I sold my CR and bought a cheap salvage car. The extra funds paid for the BSP build.

Oh trust me Marc I'm with you on that. I wouldn't have moved to BSP if I was trying to race on the cheap. That's why I drive a Spa YOLO s2000

Conekiller, under what conditions did that break ?

So you've ran the car twice, the first time you broke a axle and this time you sheered the pinion gear? What are we going to do guys, we can't have the car breaking every event!

osgiken has been in before nationals. was installed in july has over 100 hard launches with no issues. i believe the two failures may have been related and possible one caused other. no way to tell. no to get parts and get it rebuilt

Another reason why I sent my diff to puddy so he could take a close look at how the car's held up this season. Every time I drove my car this year I launched it waiting for it to break and got lucky. I'm curious to see if he sees any unusual wear in my diff when he cracks it open.
