Well I'm just not getting my own way with this car without big issue's.... Man I must have ran over someone!!
History...! 4 years ago I bought my car and had a little gutter meeting at 80kph side on...
Now 4 years latter it has bit me on the bum big time!... Some of you know my car well and the crap I've been through... hahahaha... Well last week it was brought to my attention that my car was crab walking..... So I got one of my mates to follow me and tell me if it was true.... Well yep she is crabbing.... Spoke to Neil,Nial and a couple of members and all Idea's of what could it be.... Well the one who got the prize was Neil... Spot on! You ask "Get to the chase Jeff" Ok ok ok here it is and it's shocking....
I have ripped away the sub frame from the chassis... Man I'm not happy... pic's as follows!
These 1st two pics are were the suspention joins the chassis
Last pic is the damage... The diff craddle(left side) that joins the chassis and the right side bracket also is cracked.... The cradle is just floating on the exhaust and this is why I Keep braking the exhaust mounts.....
I hope Nial can pull a biggie for me and have it read for track day.... Fingers crossed!

I recommend those that have had issue's with gutters! Check your mounts before this happens... God knows how much this will cost to fix but it ain't looking good.... Really check them anyway.. If the brackets have cracks,Get them fixed asap!
Sorry to see this happen! But lucky you found out about it before some thing else could of happen out on the track! I hope Nial has it ready for the weekend track day.

Hopefully the scrutineers would pick up something like this. I've never taken a car to the track, but I know they go over bikes with a fine tooth comb.
