Bored Today - Carnage pictures

[Martin0660]

So I was bored today, pulled part of the Capri rear appart, only to run into a broken cross pin retaining bolt I ordered up a kit that is supposed to make removal of that bolt a 10 minute affair, we will see ;)

Anyway, some random pictures of parts I broke this year......

Broken Axle:



Journal bearing turbo, about 90 minutes total run time with an oil issue:



Compressor wheels:



Collection of T3 Turbos all fragged this year:



Compressor outlet hose repaired with friction tape, electrical tape and wire ties after the bits of one of those compressor wheels where imbedded in it, only to blow appart later:



Melted #2 piston:



Car on the trailer after alternator fried and went to a dead short killing the battery too:



So, this year, melted a piston, fried alternator, killed a PILE of turbos, and finally finished the year breaking an axle. Not bad for a pile of stock junk :D

Those are all .63 housings, that all I run. Some of them might look different sized because of the bigger compressor backing plates on a few of them. I tried a few "hybrids" with grand national wheels, none of them really worked out ;)
