The best set up??
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm looking for the best set up from cv through the drive shaft and so on, and ending on the following side drive shaft.
The help will be appreciated

theres a lot of options,

the outer cv joints themselves are pretty strong and don't really give trouble, in certain race classes they have been known to snap where the brive flange mounts, but theres not a lot that can be done about that.

there used to be drive shafts available tat fitted larger maxi/allegro cv's but the shafts are NLA.


the std drive shafts can occasionally snap at the cv joint where it is machined to take the locating ring. drive shafts that do not have this ring are available in stonger material.

the inner cv or pot joint is pretty inistructable, some people prefer the hardy spicer joint, but it makes little difference.

the diff is the weak link, this will need uptating to a cros pin diff or an lsd if you are feeling flush.


to sumarise, change the diff, and if you ever manage to break a drive shaft then think about getting the higher grade ones.

on top of that, you can get some beutiful titanium shafts from fast carl that will weigh naff, or there are formula 1 spec drive shaft assemblys available but they are about 1200 quid iirc

cheers mini13 that was the info i was looking for really appreciate that

didnt mean to sound an arse mate, just my strange sense of humor!

its ok mate :)

Dont worry about uprating driveshafts, they rarely break plus its better to break a shaft rather than an expensive diff.

I seriously doubt it!
