Hi guys

In the last rally 2 other Porsche's (911's) went out because their CVs failed. My standard 914-4 ones have now lasted me the past 3 years, but I think I'm on borrowed time. Also, I checked the play and they're excessive, so they're on their way out that's for sure. I was wondering if anyone has experience of these:

I need them to put up with 200bhp/lbft engine and a whole load of abuse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I think these will do nicely but thought I'd get a second opinion from here from anyone that's tried them.

Cheers

I have stripped the driveshafts down to their constituent parts now and am now left with a mystery. One driveshaft has 33splines which I am pretty sure is the standard 914-4 one, the other has 25 splines on. WTF? Looks like I am going to need to get another standard 914-4 driveshaft so I can go this 944CV route but I'm intrigued to find out what and where my mystery driveshaft comes from. Any ideas? There's no markings on it of any kind.

Hi Eric - I'm not really keen on going down the custom driveshaft route for a number of reasons. Historic regulations and ease for spare parts. Although I have used sway away shafts before on some of my old offload racers and can vouch for them being as strong as people say. Almost as strong as your strengthened rear arms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) despite side swiping a few banks over in Ireland a few weeks ago they're still as straight as they were when I got them from you. Don't know what it takes to bend ones of these but I can't manage to do it, despite trying my damd'est. Good product mate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
