I have gathered a nice collection of pics and saw a picture from underneath the car looking at the tranny and shafts. I know the drivetrain has been pushed bach an inch and a half but the shafts look like they really are angled badly. What problems arise cause of this and what can I do to strengthen the shafts or cv's? Upgrades?

hey hey ian, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
there are 911 axles which require spacers only at the inward CV flanges and not at the swing arms. they are, i believe turbo carrera axles and can be identified by measuring the CV diameter, about 110mm's and the length of the splined and threaded section lengths. the diameter of the splined section is identical to the stock 914 axles but with a different spline count. threaded part is identical to 914. warning: the CV is so large that it literally almost touches the inner swing arm. if it's dirty in there it will just touch. =-) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1113198627.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1113198593.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1113198650.jpg) |
