Well I bought my 02 gt back in 2005 when it was bone stock. She first saw a 125 shot for a few years then 10 psi of boost through an 0n3performance turbo kit. Last weekend was the first nice day here in Iowa and got to go for a drive with some brand new bfg drag radials (295/35/18) and needless to say they hooked.
While shifting into 3rd roll racing an Evo owned by a guy from work, I felt something take a dump followed by the most helacious noise I've ever heard come from a car. I don't know what was worse. Losing to a mitsubishi or breaking while racing one lol.
I tried getting a tow by AAA but the guy who was driving the flat bed didn't have any blocks of wood to get the car onto the flat bed without tearing off my bumper. After calling every tow truck in town, with nothing nearby for at least 4 hours (its 10 pm at this point and colder than tits) I said screw it and decided to limp home in second gear. Driving 15 mph for the entire 5 miles back home in fear of the thing completely locking up during the drive back to my house, the sound of metal on metal and random clunks/crunches was attracting all kinds of attention. I drove by a dui check point and every cop standing there was just starring and trying to look under my car. 30 seconds later I did get pulled over and had to explain there wasn't anything dragging under the car, so he escorted me home.
To be honest I was expecting to find a broken shift fork but nothing like what your about to see.
If anybody has a worn out tremec 3650 or t-56 they want to sell me somewhere in the midwest, please let me know. Im looking for something to rebuild
