did a few nuts next to barbagallo raceway this arvo and managed to break another driveshaft
front right same as i did before
had 17 inch rims with 215 tyres and the surface was dirt
the clutch is weak and it still managed to break the shaft
i thought this was unusuall

has anyone else broken two of the same shaft in a row without breaking sumthing else in the drivetrain in between

does anyone have the specs of the power ratio between the front and rears on a pre- DCCD box?
is it 50/50 split?

im considering going rear wheel drive with a minispool

I suspect you were doing this near on full lock?

I think that is the reason why it faruked up, most cars front driveshafts, other than serious race cars cannot handle full power, high revs etc on a large ammount of lock. (put a HZJ80 in low 4 and turn full lock and listen/fell the pain the car is in)

This is just a guess, maybe it was weak to start with. ?

actually fozzie i am a very sensible driver on the road.
off road is a different situation because i wish to see what the vehicle is capable of.
and i bought the car to have fun with

and my post was to state the situation of how it occurred and to ask if anyone had broken 2 of the same shafts in a row without anything else breaking before it went again

i was hoping for a response of possible reasons why this would occur twice in the same spot not to have u bagg me out on the net constantly

you are a true fuckwit
