Unbreakable drive shafts


dude

Recommended Posts

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.

Dude, why are you not going for the driveshaft shop ones?

 

Easiest replacement i would have thought and different levels up to 1200+ hp...

 

Do you have a link to that dude, these are pretty local to me,

 

The wheel studs are very expensive, £28 per stud and 90mm long.

I'll join your GB if you can shed some light on the specs of the drive shafts dude, what are they made of? What are the torque ratings etc etc??

 

I will get on it next week dude, I have the estimate at work I can mail you.

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.

 

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.

We're not all unusable power chasers! :D

 

I can use but only for about 10 sec's at a time (hopefully):D

 

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.

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.
