the other day i was leaving ihop, i was in second gear and accelerated normally and all the sudden while i had my foot on the gas the car wouldn't move. i pull over and noticed the inner cv boot on the driver side ripped. i dont know what could've caused it since i wasn't beating on it. btw i have stage 1 gator axles. this is the first time it's happen but im just wondering if anybody else with a hseries swap is having the same issue?

is the inner CV joint still in tact?
Just a ripped boot shouldn't bring your car to a halt. It will cause your cv joint to wear out really quick as the grease gets out and dirt gets in though.
Was the axle/boot stretched a little too far?

yes, the inner joints are still in tact. the boot was never stretched. is it normal that the axles are kind of slanted upwards?

were there any clicking sounds when you turn and just go out and rebuild it or buy a new one

i took apart the axle and found the knuckles inside the boot were broken. i searched and found that 94+integra axles would work. can someone verify?
