The Turbo Miata is Broken... (Patreon)

Unfortunately it continued to rain this week so we were never able to take Molly back to the dragstrip to race John's Civic. Instead, I decided to install a new audio system! 4, 6" speakers, a 8" subwoofer, and an ATOTO head unit! Took it for a drive after installing the head unit and something felt kinda off... the shifter moved around a whole bunch loading/unloading the engine. Well... jacked up the car and took a look under annnnnnddddd the diff is snapped in half....Guess that one launch at the dragstrip before it rained out was all it needed... Thankfully its an easy fix! We're gonna pull it out, weld it back together, and brace/reinforce the crap out of it. We'll also build a new diff mount to reduce the wheelhop. The diff itself is actually very strong, its just the case that's know for breaking like this.
