From my understanding he replaces the stock shaft and ends as per any other upgrade but, I then inquired about changing my diff bush while hes at it and he then told me about how they have redesigned that and that its removed and not a problem anymore? Does anyone else know what he might be on about? Hes flat out for the next few weeks but after that Im going to drop my car off so he can let loose.

We talked about carbon fibre shafts while we were there. Sounds interesting but I am concerned about vibration from a one piece shaft.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched for it a couple of times since.But on the other hand it could of been just a dream as I certainly have some weird ones.I also remember seeing a picture of a BA Falcon (about a year or two after the BA came out) being tuned with a plug inserted directly into the top of the ECU in the engine bay. The ally cover was off the ECU and the plug went directly ontop of the circuit board. The workshop spoke of the fact they could tune at that early stage but once again went searching and could never find it again on the web.Maybe another dream!!!
