Glad to hear I helped! Did you have too much fun with the car and maybe they had been made weak? I'm glad the axle broke at a lower speed versus being on the highway. Were you able to get the old axle out? The plastic piece around the axle literally just clips on and will not be able to be...

My right angle M12 Impact finally did it after letting it sit on it for a literal minute or two - drained a full battery to half! I could not find a way to fit a breaker bar in there as mine was not ratcheting

I just did mine in my garage....I'm going to write a DIY for things that caused me issues, but you should see my thread and the linked videos. You're going to need a torque wrench and a right angle impact wrench - one the of 21mm bolts is on there so tight that I think it and the axle bolt was...

I haven't tinkered with the Supra yet and its brakes....however, I basically stopped using my power bleeder when I change my fluid on my other cars, now I just suck out some of the old fluid the master cylinder reservoir using turkey baster, refill it to over full with the top off the reservoir...

You are not alone - I noticed it right when I drove the car for the first time after buying it and even bought a Versus Brace to see if it would help with the feeling....

Off topic but how do you compare the Turbo S to the Supra? I'd imagine one is a spaceship and the other is a miata.

Are those APEX wheels on the race car? Hmmm

Got both axles in and everything cleaned up - took car for a ride and no issues. I can now play around more and launch from 2nd gear without worrying about breaking anything... Im going to write another thread from some things that I have learned :) Thank you all for responding!

I got the Driveshaft Shop ones from a local speed shop named Boostin Peformance. They had extra new ones from their drag car that they let go for $1700.00 out the door. I also got their used carbon fiber driveshaft but not sure if I will end up using it or just sell it - to replace the...

Thank you for the quick reply! I literally just got it :) And yes it has a snap ring on it.

Ah..nevermind - I got it. I wore some gloves and got a nice grip deep on the shaft near the diff and jammed in and out and it popped out and I fell on my butt.

Ok, got the bolt out with my new tool and a bit of prying - but now the fuckin axle WONT pull out at all - usually I have in the past had to get it past the snap ring using a pry bar it is just comes right out in other cars. Any thoughts on how to get the axle out? Im trying to pull straight...

Next steps are to see if my new impact ratchet will work. If that doesn't work, then the rotor, caliper, dust shield are coming off to let me get breaker bar access. If the breaker bar breaks the head off the bolt, I'm bolting everything back up and trading the car in on a brand new Z06. :P

Yup! Using 6 point impact sockets.

Thank you for your quick reply! Did you take off the rotor and dust shield and/or shock to give yourself more room? I am honestly afraid of snapping the head off the bolt with a breaker bar... I have watched some videos and it seemed pretty easy, and I'm used to working on cars. I hung...

I'm literally have this bolt to remove, but my impacts wont move it at all. Is it reverse threaded? I haven't checked the manual yet.... I'm having to use extensions - I ordered a Milwaukee M12 Right Angle Ratchet Impact to maybe help get it out, my corded and battery impacts are just damaging...

Nice to see the cannon on your garage flag matches the cannon you put on that thing :) You should look into body colored reflector deletes - totally changes the look of the car for being so subtle. Really wish we got the JDM bumpers without reflectors.

Seems low to me, but dynos are just a tool - looks like you only picked up 40hp and 30tq.... You should get a log and see if any issues with knock - what gas did you have in it? You should also run it at the track and see what your trap speed is - that is a good indicator of power being made...

Oh I noticed that for sure - I went there in my Sienna to pick up some axles and a driveshaft and was like "how do customers get in/out of here without an issue?"

Thanks for that! I was also looking at URW Automotive in Crystal Lake and Boostin Performance in Hoffman Estates to do any aftermarket work for me if needed. Good to know there is one even closer as I am in Northern Lake County.
