Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Performed · outcome unconfirmed
The car was repaired in less than three weeks and I made the next race and I've been racing it ever since with no problems.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well boys.. I was installing my new fancy GT3 LCA:s last week and made a nasty Discovery, a slight crack in the front subframe, just where the LCA is connecting. I guess it can be welded but I would not feel comfortable with that so I took the subframe out and bought a used one. I have a track event in 1,5 week so I need to get things going.. So, now I am trying to find the torque values for the sub frame.. Any hints would be much appreciated. (Note to self: Buy the Bentley book) Anyway, here are the pics (so yes it did happend) any thoughts?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found this: http://986forum.com/forums/performance-technical-chat/34038-front-subframe-torque-value.html 118ft lbs sounds reasonable, anyone against?

POST 3Original post

It takes a pretty good whack to crack the subframe. Ask me how I know. Joking aside, it can happen from a good bang into a curb at what would otherwise seem like a fairly low speed. Good job in spotting the damage on your car. I agree with your decision to replace rather than repair. Hope it all goes back together quickly.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OMG thats a real hit, I hope you are ok!!! So, can the car be saved?

That was two years ago. I was fine. The car was repaired in less than three weeks and I made the next race and I've been racing it ever since with no problems.
