wheel hop vs burning out

[rx7bandit]

i have owned my srt-4 for less than a week. amazing power, my last car was a FD3S rx-7 and i can honestly say with its Mopar stage 2 kit the srt4 could keep up with a stock twin turbo rx7. In the less than a week i have owned the car i have already broke an axle. Being used to RWD i took the car in a deep corner and stomped, this usually produces a fun power slide, but in a FWD four door rocket it just breaks the CV shaft lol. I have gotten plenty of advice from the sticky posts about the problem of breaking CV shafts and the proper care to make them last but my question is this...

i love roasting tires and showing off, but is their a safe way to do this without putting my axles on the line everytime?

I have solid MM's, BC coilovers, year old Prothane LCA bushings, Hotchkis sway bar's and endlink setup. I got tons of wheelhop at the track and broke my drivers side CV shaft. Turns out when I replaced my passenger side last year I forgot to look at the old axle. It was the 03 design. So I had an 04 on the pass side and a 03 axle on the drivers side. Drivers side broke. So I am waiting on my drivers side axel which of course is the 04 style.

If your car was built before late 12/2003 you will have the 03 style axles. I have an 04 too.

Just don't show off and go WOT while turning in your 4 door shitbox. That will help.

after the solid mounts, look for a used/or new set of B-woody's H-Brace and traction bars.

i may have found one issue that lead to my axles destruction. there is, for some unknown reason, no link between my sway bar and the passenger side suspension lol.
