My chassis is broke

Post by Vin Diesel »

I was at the drag races, i just finished installing a 200 shot of NOS, and when i hit it, the front of the car jumped and there was so much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line.
Now my alignment is beyond repair.
I put a 502 big block in there and it couldnt handle the nitrous.
I transplanted the 502 into my 83 528e
I was running 11's and now the alignment is so bad, when i let go of the steering wheel, it makes a hard right turn automatically.
Can i just toe the crap out of one side of the car to compensate for this?

Well hello, Super Eurobeat. I see one handle wasn't enough for you.

No, toeing the hell out of one side will in no way make up for a severely bent chassis. You'd need to put it on a chassis straightener and get it straight or just scrap it.

Next time, do the smart thing and put a full structural cage in it.

I think most boards are, by definition, social... "relating to human society and its members"

so why do you need two screen names?

Well, either your mom is a Laff Riot with a quick wit or ... she was serious. Ask yourself: If your own mother doesn't like you, how are we supposed to feel about you?
