Exclamation Guess What?!

The torque finally got to my lumbar support in the seat. Pulled out from a county road in second, nailed it hard and as soon as the turbo lit I heard a noticeable *POP* and felt my back give out. The **** on the side came off in the process as well as a plastic piece that is the culprit. made me proud kinda and sad at the same time....oh well time to order a couple small parts.


How many had this happen?

You need more subs in the back seat to reverse the effect.

Yea I don't know what to make of it...Really loved sticking that lumbar all the way out. From the looks of it it will be fixable. I think.


Thanks for the emotional support lol....

that's awesome, I can add that to my list....

well I am adding more power to my ol goat, things to check.

1. Clutch will hold.
2. Fass pump ought to keep up.
3. My tires should plant the power to the ground.
4. get upgraded seats to hold me in ..

haha.

Haha I had this happen to me last spring. It was the day I loaded up tnt revo and went out to test how it ran. Got about twenty feet into a boosted launch and had a nice feeling of metal hit me in the back along with a popping sound.

The fix is very easy. A buddy and I did mine in like 45 min.

I have not had this happen... Hmmm... I only 200-ish pounds, tho.

I saw one of my buddys do that, but with the whole back of the seat on day in a caddy... that was really funny...
