PT67 on the gate(~18psi), had just made 490ish. Go to take it for a spin and make a couple of pulls. Do a 3rd gear pull and the axle snaps, no wheel hop, just pure breakage. What kinda vehicle snaps an axle from a roll? Oh I know, only a honda. Next case, guy I know with NA B18, making 190ish whp, launches on a street tire and proceeds to move only a couple of feet as both axles snapped simultaneously. Only a honda. Now these cases are minor, but I've seen much worse axle scenarios from hondas. We can even discuss motor breakage if you want to really be exposed to hilarity, such as an instance where I saw a spark plug blown out the cylinder head. Only a honda.
LOL k series transmissions are not that great, im suprised the axle broke before the tranny did.... every car has its weak points but i would much rather break and axle rather then a trans or transfer case etc... I myself have broken an axle in my old hatch, was an N/A car running 13.1s on street tires and broke my axle in first, but the track hooked damn good that time, the key is preloading, my car has a twin disk with stock axles and i havnt had a problem, YET lol. Spark plug blow out of a cylinder head? Do these people know wtf they are doing? The major motor issues with b series motors is that people try to make to much power on stock sleeves. There pretty weak stock, we didnt get lucky like you dsm guys
