dude Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Im getting some done for my car, the firm doing them make a lot of stuff for F1, they are gun drilled and made to withstand the sort of Torque and HP our big singles put out, would need at least 5 pairs to get a decent discount, can also get super duper wheel studs as well. Let me know if there is enough interest and ill work out prices, an order for say 5 sets looks like it works out to about £600 per pair of shafts.

Terminator Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Now this is getting serious, no messing Dude. Would this be for 5 of one pair size or mixed sizes. ie catering for manual and auto diffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Should be a great addition to the ranges. Singles put out a hell of a lot more torque than any F1 car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krister Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 You should try to sell these to the Yanks as they drag race alot. Dont start a group buy on Supraforums though, you will get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already spoken to an American tuning company;) If a shaft snaps going into 3rd the car is history so worth the relatively small expenditure I think when compared to the cost of the rest of the car.

dude Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 We're not all unusable power chasers! I can use but only for about 10 sec's at a time (hopefully) Material is S155 which is the same material used for F1 torsion bars apparently, it is then gun drilled and heat treated and the finished product X rayed to make sure there is no fault anywhere.

dk_supra Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 John, count me in on the group buy as well. After two kids, I'm afraid of what might happen on the 3rd-4th area with hard shifting at 38 psi. thank Dimitri P.S. new engine is scary at high boost, the race head does a pretty big difference on high boost.
