ok.....

here's the goss....

At the time we removed Spiro's diff, we did not realise that the drivers side cv was buggered. We found this out on the test drive after we finished installing the diff.

Paul got a phone call saying that Spiro's car was going nowhere and wouldnt move.

The car was driven back to the workshop, literally a minute from where the cv finally said "im out".

We had the car up on the hoist and found that the drivers side cv had given way... And no the car was not given a hard time on the test drive. Tim drove it sedately just to make sure everything was sweet, leaving the spirited driving up to Spiro!

f*ckKKKKKKKK we all thought!!!!!

Where are we going to get a pair of custom made cv's at 11:30 on a friday!!!

I had ordered a new rh driveshaft from ford, just incase sh*t hit the fan...

No luck on the stronger cv's, I believe the earliest we could get them done was either monday or wednesday....

so we threw the new stock driveshaft in..

When Spiro came to pick up his car we told him " mate this driveshaft is just to get you through until we can get a custom pair made. I wouldnt be taking it to the drags on saturday, its only going to break again"

Spiro's reply " Mate, I dont care. Im still going to the drags on saturday night and having a shot at a 10!! When you have 600+rwkw, you expect things to break!!"

So... Spiro, being the type of bloke he is, isnt going to let a standard rhs driveshaft stop him from putting on a show for everyone tomorrow night at willowbank.

He's that keen on not letting everyone down, that he's prepared to smash another driveshaft for you guys!!! Instead of putting it off until stronger ones can be made!!!

Hats off to him people!!!! :roflmbo::bowdown::bowdown:

here are a couple of pics of the casing from the cv in question
