Get gas and water at chevron in Vacaville then all of a sudden HUGE EXHAUST LEAK and the car wanted to kill itself. Well look my header collector is completely split.

 

what header is that?

 

On the bright side, it could have been a lot worse

 

This is what happens when you don't buy Equal length

 

And here I was expecting another "snap oversteer"?

 

Snap Headersteer

 

Wow that's a clean break.

 

Shouldn't be too bad a fix. Tigwelding time, clean it up, tig it, should last years after that.

 

Yeah, I thought we were going to see a WRX lying upside down with crosses for eyes and its legs in the air. Glad we didn't. I remember when a graphite uppipe gasket blew out on my 05 going up an on ramp and thinking, "Oh, ****, that sounds expensive..."

 

bummer


well there was a red bmw that rolled yesterday. Cant remember what car it was on Sat (white bmw?)

 

Sat. a blue bmw rolled over behind me and helicopter was brought in for the guy.

Heedz did you get through your track day before the header prob?

 

Yes I did. It all happened at a gas stop in Vacaville. Went in to take a leak get a water then all of a sudden I was like hmmm the mazdaspeed got louder?(it's got a turn down no muffler) then realized my car was stalling out. Pulled into the next lot and found it.


Yeah the BMW that rolled the guy was airlift, emergency surgery, broken neck "hangman" broken arm, jaw etc. Turn 8 can be a very fast fun turn but it can go sour quick.

 

JB weld that batch and get back out there!!!

Fix it and sell it "Like New" with "Upgraded and improved welds at collector"

 

Lol Craigslist?!

 

the red one went off at turn 8 too



bad weekend for BMWs haha
