jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 3m 26d Posted 15/03/13 07:54 AM Share Posted 15/03/13 07:54 AM How many of you guys have upgraded your driveshaft? I am trying to work out whether I should do it before I get the car tuned to 400rwkw or whether it can wait?Do it 1st.. mine let go with just 300rwkw.I think people struggle when fixing something that isnt broken. Itll save you money in the long run.. the damaged caused by the tailshaft letting go can get expensive to fix..I can assure u :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshy_89 Member 131 Member For: 13y 4m 20d Posted 15/03/13 07:03 PM Share Posted 15/03/13 07:03 PM Mines still holding up with 470rwkw. I think the thing that saves it is just the fact that it can turn the tyres easily and its not getting the power down... In saying that though my standard box is coming out and one my cousin AMD I built is going in next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
