When I took the car to B&R for a standard nut bolt and
oil change they noticed the bracket was cracked again. Between the blue and Red cobra I must have cracked the thing holding the side pipes 6-8 times. They made me a bracket that lets the side pipe move around a bit depending on hot cold. You need to have that or they will crack. Mine has not cracked in two years.
I have had very little stuff happen to this red car. When I even think about something may be needed I just change it out. Not worth messing with these cars on a hot day out on some road where there is no one to help. I changed my battery too. Several people said the batteries were still good. Forget it. I have thoughts of Mikey on his back putting a new one in.
Probably about time to go through the whole engine. Hate to touch it because it has been so strong!
