its a very rare case, but how can it be ? this is totally unacceptable.

ouch...that's gotta hurt...

improper moddification?

 

[PocketRocket]

yea...chasis is too rigid...

 

[acbc]

Most likely the MyVI was not designed for hardcore driving...

 

[si|verfish]

There are too many "maybe"s in this case to pass judgement. It's not a stock car and there has been quite a lot of mods done to that car. It could be anything from, sloppy installation of mods to a defective part somewhere.

 

[zephyr3d]

improper modification i would say...

but then again.. u'll never know.

Is not mod for drift lerr...!!!
If not mistaken the rear axle, suspension n etc is not mod to fit drifting guahhh..!!!
Maybe MyVi is for Drag instead of Drift lerr...!!!

Just my 2cent....!!!!

it wasnt drifting. it was in the autocross.

>I am no automotive expert<

i had the liberty to see/inspect first hand.(close visual inspection after the incident).

as a fellow gymkhana auto enthusiast, my opinion> if I'm going to use semi slicks & a modified struts/coilcovers for my car ; I WILL look into adding ADDITIONAL lower member braces to strengthen the load & stress the car will be put into. thats me. semi slick can put in even higher loads into even the car's structural chassis over stock tyres (higher G's).

I think i have a fair idea where it buckled but i reserve my judgment to highlight the cause of the MYVI.

it could have happened to ANY car

Aii.... U have the point...!!!
But it might not designed for autocross as well guahhh....!!!!
What went wrong if everything from this Myvi is mod for autocross....??
Die ballz.....!!!

I agree with that. Using Semi/Slick tires without further modification to strengten will just break the suspension and chasis easily. The amount of stress increased tremendously when using slick.

good info

 

[evo3]

that Myvi is mod for autocross lo... not our daily driven Myvi and look how the driver thrash the Myvi....

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

can mod for autocross la... do some extra spotweld to the chassis... make it more rigid lar... anything also can do geh if u have the will...

yup. even some audis have cracked their rear subframe when a stiff rear arb is installed. later found out they needed a strengthening bracket.
