What parts have you broken?
My adjuster on my clutch cable broke a couple weeks ago leaving me stranded. This is the first time in 3 years of ownership of a 5.0L Mustang that I haven't been able to drive it because it has failed. What have you had break on your Stangs? Do more things seem to give out once you added lots more power? Share anything.

Ok here I go.
blew up a "world class" t-5. poked a hole in my hood with a fogger nozel plumed in my throtal body from stomping on it in reverse. Melted a CF-DF clutch and flywheel on a launch with a 6k dump and slicks. Cracked the #8 piston with a heavy hit of N2O. trashed a cam lobe and lifter so bad the valve was opening half way. Blew up the stock traction lock. Belt tensioner broke loose causing it to hit the alternator, alternator fan exploded and trashed my battery and dented the front fender.(old car- 83 mustang) And the most recent one is a cracked K-member from hard launching at the track. ------------------ 347 W/ A-trim 6#'s, Canfield heads, out of the box Systemax II intake, solid roller cam. 11.1 @123mph 93lx 5.0 daily driver |

Well an interesting part I broke...on my 89 Mercedes 190E 2.6...came outta publix lot mile and half from apartment, stomped gas felt it rev for half a sec...then all it would do was idle regardless of gas petal position...pulled over got AAA tow me home pulled off air filter box and saw half of a plastic something or other and a throttle cable dangling. A ride to benz dealer,and 1.50 later the plastic throttle cable and linkage clip thingy was on and gas peddle worked again! WooHoo
Broke sme guy's bumper when my 86 Cougar decided to hydroplane through a red light without informing me ahead of time. |
THE WORST BREAK I EVER HAD WAS THE THROTTLE CABLE ON MY 86 HONDA INTERCEPTOR. I WENT FROM 25MPH TO 90 MPH IN ABOUT 3 SECONDS WHILE GETTING ONTO I-8 IN SAN DIEGO. I CUT THE ENGINE TO GET STOPPED. LUCKILY 90 IS NORMAL ON I-8 SO I DIDN'T GIVE SOMEONE A HONDA SUPPOSITORY.
