[Mitchee]

not clutch failure, its flywheel failure and took clutch with it

(i heard it was a lightened OEM flywheel)

Holly farken sh|t! - Lucky to have legs and feet still.

I hadn't seen it before but I would have said flywheel as well.

I can see the flycut on it, but I dunno if it has been lightened.

If it has - that bloke needs to get himself a big fistful of lotto tix to celebrate the fact that his feet are still attached.

More of a risk in a front wheel drive car where the flywheel is travelling in a direction towards the driver... People have dieed from this sort of thing. In a rear wheel drive its not so much an issue as the flywheel and clutch assembly is further forward than the drivers position.

Check out the third picture, good bye chassis rail!

When mine shattered most of the energy went up inbetween the firewall and engine, still damaged both rails, hicas and brake lines and everything else in its path.

Luckily the firewall has an extra panel behind it otherwise it all would have come straight thru. The only interior damage I had was from the front propshaft being lodged in the floor below my left leg.

all i can say is what was he on when he thought of that crazy idea. that flywheel is about as thick as an auto flex plate.

Did you do that out at W.S.I.D on a wednesay? A fair while ago? If so I used to have it on video lol! Certainly wasn't expecting half your car to come flying out the back of your exhaust..

[benm]

Aww look its final resting place!

I wish half my car went flying out thru the back of my exhaust, would have saved me alot of cash. Speaking of exhausts I picked mine up last friday after getting it repaired from the damage on that night. My rear dump + 021 sensor and entire frontpipe were damaged, now its all nice again.

Here is where it's currently at:
