Second run on the strip and thought I would launch higher so I didn't bog down... took off at 6500 rpm from the line and BANG went the stock diff!

  • yeah, well the RX7 is not meant to drag race anyways. It's meant to drift. Oh yeah!

  • @Boogonomotry

    Yeah the standard diff is weak! Thankfully have a stronger one to go in!

    3 driveshafts! Ouch!

  • japstheonlyway co uk check it out

  • do you think if you used the dragon motorsport brace it would have prevented this .

    i know they say they have never had this problem since using one .
