  • What kind of oil filter were you using?

  • @xxxH22VTECxxx

    It's a Wix 51344,which has the same mounting specs as the OEM filter,but the body is quite a bit bigger,so it has more filter media.I've 99.9% narrowed it down to not putting enough oil on the o-ring when I installed the filter,which caused the gasket to bunch up and then blow out under high pressure.

    I've since switched back to the OEM size filter(Wix 51334)and I now safety wire the filter for extra insurance.

  • Did the door jam? I would've been out of that car as soon as I was sure I was ok

  • @mchandler2112

    No,the door was fine.Where I stopped is somewhat blind coming around the kink.There was a black flag,but I was worried cars going over 100MPH might be caught off guard by my location.No reason to get out of the car until the safety truck came(so I knew the track was secured),unless it was on fire.

    Let me guess,you were in one of the BMWs or 911s that got rolled?....Or,maybe you were just playing an imaginary racing video game?

    It's a clip-on wideview mirror.I hit the wall,it flew off............Oooooor,did I crash two different,otherwise identical cars so I could edit the videos together and see how long it took somebody to notice the only difference was the mirror?
