Quote from: shnazzle on October 15, 2020, 22:15Can't think of a better place for the car to be

There is only one other ...

In full working order being driven at ten tenths on a perfect twisty B road in good conditions.

Until then, it is probably the best place it can be!

10/10 on the public roads?
There is a man with a stock 138bhp engine ;)
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

A battery tray with a clamp.
Ooh.
And wires with insulation on them.
Ahhh.

I'm working so hard on this Aunty @Carolyn would be so proud.

Just thinking out loud.
Its already busted the drivers side one. I'm sure there are cheaper options within the UK.

I could never buy something from an English language site which is barely distinguishable as such.

"Capable in handling". Lord give me strength :D

I see they do a "1000HP" one too.

What's up with stock? Does that not handle your asbo power levels? :D

It's not very clear where these shafts are to be used:

From the "installation tips and warranty"notes:

I think the owners of this business are the "insane shafts" themselves. They just happen to also sell some dodgy car parts without any sort of warranty or guarantee :)

Theyre American its standard to say everything is for off road use all after market ecu have the same disclaimer.
They're stocked by some uk based distributors but for k20 civic crx etc not mr2.
I would look to source something from the UK first but it is an option.
As said before the drivers side went last year. It was an original pfl shaft and has been replaced with a fl which are a different design. Lets hope that its unnecessary but with over 250 ftlb of torque at the wheels possibly more who knows.

In that time I think I've covered about 10k miles.
That gives you an idea how long it's been off the road for considering in my 06 turbo I did over 5k miles in one year just to ROC events!

I think I took that car from 55k to maybe 80k in 3 or 4 years.

I guess that's something you almost have to accept with heavily modified cars. I can see the appeal, for when they work they can be awesome. However, they can and often do spend a lot of their time sat in garages unserviceable or requiring constant tinkering to keep running.

Thats a pretty standard car but its been regularly used in all weathers and needs a proper going over with the wire brush. Buckets and shims need doing. Air box returned to stock if possible and maybe even put it on stock suspension rather than  coilovers.

116 miles to the top half of the tank I forgot how juicy this thing was.

And I've scared myself twice already.
