It took five minutes to fix at the mitsu dealer and had nothing to do with the tune Still doesn't change the fact that whoever built that car is a complete hack Edited May 25, 2017 by SVT Renegade XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT MXZ XRS Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You're the only person I've ever heard of who parted out a fucking car, because the hack who built it, didn't do something as simple as tightening up the flywheel bolts God only knows what else would have gone wrong with it , had you had it longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was a mistake by whoever built it that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have caused other damage like broken shafts and synchros, not loosened a boot. And you had no other damage , so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted May 25, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 Got a partially completed project, so swap was done, but it never ran, rebuilt motor, new turbo, intercooler, radiator, injectors, fuel management, among a gazillion things,..problems now is racepak display wiring and front clip fitting over rad and intercooler,..

No idea ....Are those bolts supposed to have a permanent thread sealant???? Maybe they were torque to yield and not meant to be resused. I have no idea. Sucks that it happened though.

Destroyed a $5,000 clutch setup More than likely they reused bolts and didn't use any thread locker on them. Or they used different bolts and didn't put thread locker on them. And/Or they possibly just didn't get tightened. Either way, those bolts shouldn't have came loose, no matter how many shifts you missed or slipping the clutch trying to launch. NHRA Funnycars and dragsters put out a lot more power, and abuse the clutches and flywheels a lot more than you did, and they don't loosen up flywheel bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of downforce , $1500 worth of z rated tires , lowered on swift springs and a lot of electronic nannies keeping the car straight Looooooose flywheel bolts flying up through the floor and into a nostril is a sure way to die.
