Ya I figured the true cause of drivetrain parts breaking is Driver.. I made the same mistake at IFO ACCIDENTLY drove the integra like my starlet.. and BAM!

Your axles will hold up if you preload I used some hurt autozone axles at the track before; I was cutting Sub 2.0 60' and didn't break them.. Was able to drive the car around the next day on the street too still listening to the noise hurt axles make.

sometimes is just worth loosing a tenth or two to not need to constantly replace driveline parts.
