Re: [T3] Rear end musings...Crack!


I remember one time i have a VW with 255-70r15 on the rear and i just
bought it and it was a little 70 Baja. I took that thing pulling out of
school i mean the second day i had it took it up to 4500RPMs and busted
out the clutch, popped the front wheels off the ground burned out like
hell and snapped a read axle bearing and fried the CV joints. cracked em
all. I just put new axels and CVs and all on it a kept driving it. But
thats the only time i ever broke everything in the rear but that was one
fiberglassed Baja. The floor was even fiberglassed or fiberglass resin
hardened or something but the front wheels would come off of the ground
everytime. I hate it that i cant but 255's on my squareback!
