    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    You're talking PMoI, I doubt you could measure the difference as it would be within the +- error of most Dyno's. I build/drive my cars in the real world and unless you can figure out a shoud to enclose the Carbon Shaft I wouldn't use one in a street car, Duane destroyed one a few years back.

    Tell me more about GMC Typhoon...

    If I'd known I'd have built one, they're a HSV Coupe4 here and only 100 made, both of my vehicles share the same drivetrain.

    Perfect example of what happens when you exceed critical on a one piece STEEL shaft... :( If that happens on ANY public road there's a fair chance it's going to be fatal due to the speed the failure occurs at.. "people" will think "nah never happen my car is a road car and that was a race...

    Is an Mkiii the right car for me?

    Harsh but fair.... "Budget" and "Mk3" shouldn't be together without "No" in front ;)

    intercooler questions

    Nice kit but taking the charge pipe out under the cooler limits how large a core can be used so is a bit of a compromise, all depends on your power goals.

    intercooler questions

    Air doesn't have to do a 180 degree turn at the end so pressure drop will be less with an In/Out on opposite ends. Downside is you'll need an FFIM to make it work without a maze of pipes.

    Possible botched clutch install..... Need advise...

    Usually the Spring bosses in the disc will hit the Flywheel bolts if it's backwards, you won't be able to select a gear with the engine running.

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    It was a bit Exe Brad, shipping would be the deal breaker... No reason a shop there can't replicate it though, all the parts are off the shelf and Hardy Spicer make the Big Ass slip Yoke to suit the A340e and the R154 now. That Shaft went to 160Mph GPS verified at the Test track without a...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    You roll the dice on this one... All depends on if the car is going to see high speed, I value my life and that easily outweighs any cost.
