Help!! Broke something!!

Please, only respond if you have an Educated guess. I was at the track tonight. I revved it up and launched it. Boom!!
I know the clamps holding the cv boots to the transmition on both sides broke off.
The question is:
When I turn the wheel very far, something in the front makes a lot of clunking noise, and sometimes I can not turn it all the way to the right, and sometimes, the car pushes itself to the right.
Nothing else is visibly broken besides the cv clamps.
Any ideas?

You are going to have to throw the car onto a lift and check the drive train.. the description you gave is somewhat vague. Check your axles and differentials and so on...

because your axles are connected in there somewhere right ? if you blew both of your cv boots off, then that is a serious problem in the middle. make sense ?

where is the cheapest place to get one?
How can I check it? or does a mechanic have to do it?

seems like you dont know anything about working on cars so just go ahead and take it to a reputable shop. preferably someone who knows about Evos and stay away from the dealer.

you are going to have to open it up... i'd guess that it is going to be an asspain to do. As far as where can you get one .... find out what you need first, then check the part outs on here, junk yards around the country, and then maybe call shep or TRE and see if they can do anything. Maybe even buschur.
