Oh yeah lol. I've already put 10,000 miles on it

So awesome. Can see it now. Kids only have 10 min to get to school. No worries we can still cruise for 5 more minutes...

Notice the baby seat? Lol! Been taking it on lots of long road trips to test longevity.

It ***almost looks like a sleeper

Beautiful!

M4_Ronin · 07-07-2017, 04:01 PM

Just got her back!!! Along with a surprise

M4_Ronin · 07-07-2017, 04:05 PM

Power comes on so fast now! Before it felt a little sluggish at the beginning but now... wow! Carbon fiber driveshaft really lightened up the acceleration. Now time for some sticky tires. These are toast...

This is what a bent rod sounds like for those of you that wanted to know. The day after the build was underway. Not a fond memory as it has spent more time under a tarp than I have driving it, but now that I've clocked over 10k miles on the new set up I can say I'm happy it happened.

TrevorM3 · 07-12-2017, 06:54 PM

wow that is cool video on those driveshafts.

M4_Ronin · 07-12-2017, 07:20 PM

Got some rubbers for daily duties. Still getting the Mt et streets for the back but only running that on the track

Nickf10 · 07-13-2017, 09:03 AM

Donyou guys recommend the driveshaft on stock motor with upgraded turbos?

With all of the rumors of people breaking driveshafts, diff support bracket, and halfshafts we decided to go on ahead replace them before they became a problem.

Stock turbos, ams catless down pipes, eissenman mid pipes, fabspeed muffler bypass, ssp spec-r clutches, and dyno tune.

How much horsepower were you putting down when this happened?

Thanks. When I see this it makes me leery about tuning my car. Any suggestions on the direction one could go to make more power (50-100 hp) while staying semi-reliable?

Depends on how it's tuned and subsequently maintained. I put over 20K miles in the 750-850whp levels and drove the car HARD.

If you want reliability without having to think about it stay under 700whp.

Oh yeah - anything above stock needs min 93 octane. That is the #1 reason mildly modified setups break.

What about 92? Here in Hawaii we have 92 and the most I plan on doing is a VF stage 2 tune. Think I will be okay or should I look into a water/meth solution? I would be fine with just water, but don't really want to go anywhere near meth if I can help it.

Sorry OP for the off topic.
