Some pix before i took the wheels off for the winter.. can't wait til i live in Charlotte so i can roll with my wheels all year
Really, they seem to stick out a lot more than USDM, maybe it's just a figment of my imagination, I'll have to see them on a car in person to decide, either way, nice work, I'm jealous.

around corner from my job about 5:45 this evening. Came from a stop at stop sign and made right turn. Heard a bang and then car was scraping. Got out and looked and this is what I saw
thought Axle popped out. Which it did. Also lower control arm snapped. Had car towed to my dad's mechanic and now I am rocking my sisters X5
Holy shit dude, that's crazy, good thing you weren't on the freeway going 60-70 when that happened. Why are you driving your sister's car, can't you drive the 8G?

Dave, the mirrors look awesome. did you get the right glass for it yet?
yeah seriously, I was maybe 5 minutes off the highway I was on. Can't drive the 8G, cause people that park in the parking lot at my job are douchebags, also I doubt I would be able to clear the speedbumps
didnt get to play much. Had to get to work. I'll play more in the AM LOL
holy shit!!! man im glad that at least you were in the streets and not on the highway either. good luck on getting it fixed. it looked like what happened to my friend in a parking lot right after coming from the drag strip, except his strut bolts loosened and came out of the hub. he had like 40 degrees of camber. the sound was horrible.
my panda beast.
Arel, I never see your car clean in your pics. wash that bish dammit. lol
holy shat! that is gnarly as fawk.....wow as said above that would not have been good on the highway....go buy a lotto dude. thats pretty lucky

Well all it did to my axle was rip the boot. So minimum, might just have to replace one or both CV boots.
7g for life!
i had the same thing happen to me back in 99, maybe had the car8 months. luckily i was in a parking lot at my job when it happened. Yeah, the lower ball joints suck on the 7g, all four of them. i replaced 3 of the 4 lower arms while i had the engine out. They really aren't all that expensive, but a pain to get off.
I later might try to find a suspension form another chassis to supplement into the 7g set up. i swear it seams that DSM / Mitsu's are like LEGO's, you can always get a part from one to fit on another
