My NEW TO ME 42r 900+HP 2004 Evo
I am not sure if this is where this post needs to go, I am used to having a journal section to put this type of thing in, so moderators if its in the wrong spot please move it for me. Also if a mod could contact me about changing my name on here that would be great.....since I don't have an STi anymore 
So I took a little road trip down to Iowa and picked up Jesse's 42r monster as my new toy. The car is amazing! In great shape, runs good, pulls awesome! Here are some pictures of the car from AMS that I am sure you guys have already seen, but I still like them...and then some pictures in MSP on my way home. We took it out Friday and Sat night in the cities to have a little fun...video's to come

AND THEN...on my first drive back home 5 miles into it....THIS HAPPENED
(THREAD REF) https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...cs-inside.html
So during a 2nd gear mid boost pull at about 8k rpm my clutch exploded into pieces and basically grenaded the engine bay! Shep trans, triple disk clutch, intercooler, radiator and more are all shot!
Initial details: When this happened I was on 35psi which on my setup is a little over 700hp. The turbo is a 42r, and there was only 400 miles on the clutch. I am waiting to find out what the clutch company is going to do before I say too much.
Edit UPDATE: This was a triple disk carbon Exedy clutch! I sent the clutch to Exedy for them to inspect it. They were unsure of what could have caused the problem, either the clutch bolts were not tightened properly or could have been a heat issue. Either way they decided to give me a brand new clutch for free! Full warranty! I was pretty excited to hear that they were going to back up there product. Customer service was awesome! I would buy Exedy again after this experience!
Shep said that he has some spare cases around so he is putting all new syncros in the tranny and slapping it in a new case for me. The intercooler is fixed, radiator will need to be replaced, what I thought was going to cost me 5000$ + is turning out to be not that bad!
Good times:
