Question

Anybody ever snapped them? (due to launching / power?)

My dad said that they will be taking a quarter of the force that the driveshafts would be due to final drive ratio's etc..

but it still scares me what abuse they take..

???

you're beginning to sound like adam!

Never heard them breaking, or a propshaft in general. Driveshafts yes, diffs yes, gears yes, prop shafts, no.

Funny you say that Paul, i was beginning to think that too. Especially with his comments yesterday, along the lines of he is worried that he will have forgotten how to drive.

Based on the way David said he drove, perhaps this is a good thing?

Guys, remember you get to drive your projects or at least work on them.

Not being so capable as you lot, left mine in the hands of a third party. I can hardly remember what its like to own my car let alone drive it, so to keep my feeble mind entertained I like to talk stuff.

I resent any comparison with mr. wallis!

check out 22b.com, I put argued that block bolts would be fine!

btw. paul past performance is no indication of future events.

how many road going imprezas have made well over 500lbft? I count one. Maybe his propshaft bolts might have gone.

500ft lbs is not far shy of what serious rally cars get.

other way round, I mean the rally cars are about 450 IIRC

I've never herd of anyone shearing the prop bolts.

I have seen pics of a propshaft twist itself to bits though! It was in Street Machine mag. The prop bolts were still holding despite there being 4 twists in the prop!!
