old_mate Member 767 Member For: 19y 2m 15d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 05/08/14 01:16 PM Share Posted 05/08/14 01:16 PM (edited) Hardy's at Eagle Farm have been replacing CV's with Uni's but Hardy's at Darra have got a trick CV setup on the go.I have heard the Darra ones are quite a bit less prone to vibrations.Someone with more knowledge might be able to explain why a CV might be better - I thought it had something to do with pinion angles being a bit too big in these things for a uni to work as intended (both strength and NVH) however I was pretty blind last time someone was talking to me about this so it could all be fabrication.

I dont think many people on here are even close to running 9 second passes.I know half a dozen people that have had their tailshafts done there, not one has failed, $1500 on a tailshaft is a waste of money IMHOI will be getting my tailshaft retubed at propeller soon Edited 17/08/14 03:07 AM by sct911 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88629-tail-shaft-mall-wood-v-cheeper-no-frills/page/2/#findComment-1493067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_mate Member 767 Member For: 19y 2m 15d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 19/08/14 11:48 AM Share Posted 19/08/14 11:48 AM wow so many options. Hardy Spicer at Darra quoted 2k for a full new build with the upgraded rear CV and bigger center bearing; 480 ex GST to retube my shaft.10SECN so your shaft is retubed but stock center bearing and rear CV? I am only looking to end up around 600rwhp and will bolt on some sticky tyres once or twice to run that 10 second / 130mph pass - don't want to overkill as you said before but then again don't want to do it twice because it broke Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88629-tail-shaft-mall-wood-v-cheeper-no-frills/page/2/#findComment-1493584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
