QUOTE(Amenson @ Sep 9 2016, 05:41 AM)  QUOTE(tazz9924 @ Sep 8 2016, 12:21 AM) Second pull disaster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , at approximately 5000 rpm the cars rpm suddenly jumps and the car wont move. A few minutes of research found I broke an axel.... It wasn't even the Porsche side the Subaru side snapped at 187hp. day was not lost after i fix the axel i can actually drive it (sainly)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Can you post pictures of the carnage, it would be easier to figure out what actually happened. When I first started driving with the suby inner joint, I made my axles too short and in certain conditions the guts of the Subaru joint would pull out. In my case I could push it back together and it would work fine for a bit. Cheers, Scott So ive actually fixed it by just buying a new joint but it did eat the c clip thoroughly i kept pulling chunks from the cup the axel may be too short on the driver side is it possible to extend the axels without buying and redoing a new one or would that be just the strongest and safest way |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) it would b cool yo fit 275s rear but for me i just don't see that much space a 255 is as big as im comfortable however with modifications i could see 275. |

ok well... subaru cv joint broke for the third dang time but this one is on the previously unhurt side (passenger). during a hard left hand hairpin i gassed it for the exit and the second i touch the throttle bang! my day was over. i kinda fixed it in the pits but it broke soon after almost same spot not racing it tho just cruising the track. Currently i write to u waiting for a tow truck to tow me 60 miles home in rush hour traffic. Fun.
BTW was someone towing a red 914 with the front grill cut out for a watercooled engine, through tacoma? |

How much clearance do you have between the end of the Suby CV's and the trans?

QUOTE(76-914 @ Mar 27 2017, 02:42 PM) How much clearance do you have between the end of the Suby CV's and the trans? about none, if not negative they're about .5 cm or more to long to get on static |
