Sacrafices to the gods of speed thread

[Silent Knight]

This is from my 2J.
Unfortunately I can't take credit for the damage. It was done by Gadget. I'm the one repairing it though.

[Al]

Three clutches. One genuine Toyota that had its time, the POS TRD clutch and a cheapie clutch plate that lasted all of two months. Managed to sell the TRD clutch

One gearbox with only 3rd, 4th and reverse after killing the selector forks. Sold that too

One ceramic ct20b, the compressor fins were gouged back, more than likely from overspeeding at 19-20psi indicated, would have been more like 23psi with the sw20 intercooler pressure drop. Sold this as well

The 3sgte amazingly never broke.

[Distrb]

Stock B/T 20v + constant high (>6krpm on taupo track) = ventilated block

Down the bore


Looking through the hole, towards the corresponding point on the other side of the block, note marks where the snapped rod has tried to make a passage through


The hole itself, and some nicely gouged crank


Where #4 rod used to be


Whats left of #4 piston, and the top half of the rod


The other half of the rod is nowhere to be found... guess thats what went flying through the radiator, and is now somewhere on the track

Gotta give it up to the first poster though, thats pretty impressive.

old clutch was down to the plate/rivets, nothing else just yet

[Dell'Orto]

Also had a 12A housing which had several nasty gouges from where the apex seal let go...

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Bah, it was my fault...the accelerator pump diaphragm must have been torn, as it always used to splutter when you give it a bootful (17 year old with a rotary, you do the maths)...the constant leaning out would have finished it good.

Off the top of my head I've killed:

- T50 (ground a gear)
- W55 (dunno but it happened at Manfeild)
- Bluetop 4age (bearings)
- SC12 supercharger
- Garrett BB T28 (hopefully can be fixed )
- 4agze (hopefully just the rings, I say killed cos it happened very quickly and on another Manfeild day)
- Std 4age clutch (s/c had to much torque)
- T25G (just seals)


Hmmm that doesn't seem like that much considering how often I am fixing my cars

[MrOizo]

Lol yeah, but I have raced on Taupo and didn't even break anything!

[Leon]

Well, having been racing for 12 ish years, the list is surprisingly short ...

1 x Mini spun the flywheel on the crank
1 x Mini ripped the centre completely out of the RF wheel, which lead to grinding a balljoint away (Manfeild)
2 x BNT supplied CV's on the AE92 blew to bits when brand new (autocross)
1 x 4AGE big port started knocking (Pies has now, so we find out what it is once he pulls it down) at Manfeild.

Maybe this Saturday the odds will catch up with me, and I'll break every single moving part on the car?

Now do you see what I mean, about buying a second hand race car?

[Leon]

You drive an MR2, you should be used to fear.

[Pelo]

1 x AW11, spun and crashed at taupo a few years ago
1x st150 corona - paddock basher from hell! blew radiator, kept driving, blew HG, kept driving, seized. Push started, kept driving, seized. Towed in gear, started, drove, seized and wouldnt turn over again Good old magnatec oil.
1 x SC12 supercharger, bearings collapsed from years of abuse

Thats about it, though I am but a young thing

[DR]

All thats left of my old TT Legacy.

[vvega]

[Crucible]

100 x sc12

[RS13]

lol i write my list of $&#$% sh*t but i dont have that much spare time

Lol I hear ya, I honestly don't think I could remember them all.. before I really learnt how to fix things myself, I'm sure I kept my local garage in business! Best effort though.. I had a BFMR sedan with a blown motor, had it garaged for 6 months (I actually forgot that I had it!), threw a new motor in, had it on the road for 4 days, did a gentle launch.. *pop* goes the centre diff, in the reconditioned gearbox!

I've lost count of clutches I've toasted/broken.. I was taught to flatshift when driving hard, so I guess it has to be expected!

[levinguy]

thought i'd bring this back to show you some gen 1 3sge bearings

crap photos but you get the point

oh.. and its two bearings by the way
