inb4 $2k on drive shafts lol
Thanks for reply Vvvtec.
And you are right on that. I have also "heard" and "read" about their notoriousness, but as mentioned in the 6 years of running them have been fortunate enough to not have dealt with it. So i'm quite relieved on that point.
=)
Admittedly, my car is not setup to beat records or anything like that. It's more of a nice daily cruiser that just happens to have a Kswap in it.
If i'm honest, not low enough for my liking.
My brother has always kept it at a dropped but reasonable height due to the fear of the oil sump being smashed.
=\
For reference, it sits with a gap between the guard and tyre still.
Is that an actual shop name OR is that reference to go to one?
I think you're on the money there. Would just like to hear of other peoples thoughts and experiences.
6 years is definitely a long time. So I do think I have been fortunate with the reliability and strength shown so far.
Interesting link. Will read up on that more during lunch break.
Thanks for sharing.
Whoa!
Thick as.
Ok so I used my superior photo skills during lunch...
Anyway, the following pics are:

Sorry for the crappy photos. I didn't want to kneel on the ground in my suit lol
So I just crouched and tried my best.
I believe my options to improve the situation are:
- EKK2 engine mounts and EG/DC crossmember;
OR
- thicker shafts and/or 5 lug conversion as they have slightly larger shafts.
Any other options / solutions?
Thanks for the input so far too guys.
Much appreciated.
We would be wasting a fair whack of energy running these shafts at these angles.. I've seen worse than the above too. Funny thing is Williams ran some stupid angles on their F1 car a few years ago.
Sorry. But what do you mean by wasting a fair whack of energy?
Constant velocity joints are ideally meant to run at a level angle and on the same axis as the output of the gearbox to the wheels. Anything out of this range will incur a loss.
