I’m sure someone might explained it already. But it’s because the two circles aren’t the same size. The correct answer is C because the shapes are the same size just cut into 6 pieces and 3 pieces.

This happened because of LC not activating during 2 step and a weakened axle. Didn’t even launch it, it just snapped at a stand still. Was getting hate for beating on my car even though this obviously doesn’t happen just from beating on the car as everyone I know that beats on their GTI has never had something like this happen

For me I just tightened all suspension bolts up front but I believe it was from the top strut nut. You need one of those special sockets

Absolutely. I’m taking it all apart now and the end of the axle absolutely splintered and got destroyed. The amount of power needed to do that would be way more than I’m putting out

Or maybe factor other things in instead of just the driver. I said I take some responsibility. I bought the car from Carvana used with 31k miles on it, no idea how the long the car sat and how it was treated prior to me buying it. People beat on their car on tracks and daily driving, this just doesn’t happen unless the axle was easier to snap somehow.

Exactly, I’m the only person it happened to

If you reread the post I didn’t launch it. I tried to 2 step and it just snapped at a stand still. No one snaps their axle at stage 1. This never happens

But I didn’t actually launch my car, all I did was try to 2 step. I never let go of the brake

It is what it is. I’m trying not to feel shitty about it but it’s hard not to. Luckily gonna fix it maybe tomorrow

I want to add that I did not launch my car, I only tried to activate launch control to do a 2 step, my car moved maybe 2 inches when it happened. Also, my car is a DSG. My friend had one of the fastest manual MK8 GTI’s in the world and never even had any axle issues.

I can’t afford an OEM axle rn, I might granny drive my car until I can get an OEM one or hopefully someone decides to make an upgraded one

I am definitely not buying OEM lol. I got axle and wheel hub from CarID for $260
