car was all over the track when i shift to 2 gear , so have to take easy on 2 gear when i found out the diff cover broke. when i drive its sound like a tank coming down the track every time

[Sniz]

[Brent 930]

Geez, never seen that before. I have a used cover, $40 shipped.

[wgcc]

Ouch!

[jone30]

Wow, that is some serious carnage.

[RRdawho?]

Hot damn Dave...

[SiGmA]

Wow that's wicked. I hope it didn't mess up the DSS D/S! I wanna see what you do to fix this, I haven't noticed if the east coast big-boys have this issue, but then again your 60's are freaking low...

So you raced yourself in the civic? Who drove which car? Nice times, but your 60's are a bit slower than usual - still getting use to the clutch?

[BadBoostedBmwM3]

Well, at least the clutch is holding the power!

those 60" are very good for me with out using my 2 step & doing a burn out . due to broken rear diff cover bracket

[SiGmA]

Wow, yes yes those are! I wish I had the skills to do that, damn! I figure it was with two-step and hot tires, my bad. Did you make a single clean pass before it broke?

[HyperMikeD]

Whoa dude nice carnage !

[davidtm5]

[highboostingm3]

[rt turbo]

yes, ces has this fabbed as a bolt on kit. check my pm to you.

[zemaestro]

how about an automatic and 750il diff....

[Def]

Yea a bigger diff would be the way to go, but you could just take a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate and weld it over those arms to box them in to get a little extra strength.

[jfdmas]

i would be very surprised to see this happen 2x. This is the first time i have even saw this kinda breakage.

the ces up grade is a 750il diff that they probably want a ton of money for you can get a diff for $200 on car-part.com

there are quite a few moddifications needed to make that thing bolt on. And you are speculating what the cost is. CES has alot of R&D into their kit to make it bolt on perfectly. Its not just a 200 bolt on part like you are leading to believe.:embarrasm

[bim533mer]

i did it on my car it took me 4 hours in and out if you have some brains and some skills it dos not take to long to do some thing that simple
