He wins multiple Darwin Awards. One for painting his parts. Two for tire and rim size. Three the lame mechanical work. Four for owning a Nissan.

nissan aint bad man. that guy definatly deserves darwin awards for the 1st 3 though, expecially #3

I dunno....I feel kind of sorry for him because he is only 18 and at least he's trying.  BUT, I think at 18 and trying to tackle a job that important he should have had someone look over his work after he thought he was done.  Also, I don't know anything about ANY of this, but one look at the pic of the U-bolts and even I could see that was TOTALLY wrong.  I wonder what purpose he thought the U-bolts served in that position

Hey, give credit where credit is due. At least he manned up to a mistake that wasn't fully his...   But I do agree, he shoulda known something was wrong when he tried to torque the u-bolts. The bump stop brackets shoulda bent while torquing those down   . Maybe he learned that staying up all night to work on something he's never done before isn't such a good idea   . Oh well live and learn   .

ya, at least he owned up to his mistake (who doesnt make common sense mistakes when you work tired).

You're just not getting it!  He's been AROUND vehicles his whole life.  By all rights he should own his own fabrication shop by now!

Darwin award for the axle coming out.  Homoghey award for painting his parts

i dont think he bothered torqueing the bolts down

[Shamb]

ppsshh... bolts are over rated when you've got a welder 
























that was a JOKE btw! 

[DTB [OP]]

is it just me or are those tapered lift blocks installed backwards pointing the pinion down...?

[Shamb]

looks like it, also when he accelerates its going to force the pinion downward even more.

 

[topar]

Those U Bolts are correct its the new design for high speed cornering holds everything in place
