This is what my driveshaft looked like

[Ric]

Been driving on this for 3 months!!! :aigo:

At highway speeds it felt like a blender was chewin up some ice under my car. Now that i have my new driveshaft in, the car is twice as quiet lol


PS, and now I can dyno

That looks nasty. What did you replace it with?

 

[tissimo]

you need to turn down the boost and stop tearing up driveshafts...

 

[Ric]

I replaced it with another stock driveshaft ?

 

[annoyingrob]

and yet your tranny is still in one piece. You're just weird.

 

[Ric]

Yeah, the tranny seems to be holding up OK. I never shift under power, seems to be doing good for it so far. I have a backup ready just in case.

 

[tturnpaw]

so how come it took you three months to replace the driveshaft?

 

[Ric]

Finding one in good condition that's not priced more then an aftermarket 1 piece is not easy.

I finally found one from a 1997 SC for $80 shipped. It's in mint condition.

 

[annoyingrob]

maybe you should have gone for a 1piece aftermarket then?

Bleh, I was one day late getting the 3 to 4 bolt adapter for free (im still crying in my sleep because of that, its $250 bucks now). If I did get that, yes I'd have a 1 piece, but since I didnt, I found another good stocker.

I doubt I'll ever get a transmission strong enough to ever go 30psi on my turbo before I sell it.

 

[tturnpaw]

ah, just didnt seem worth risking to me. Of course, around here in WA theres two driveshaft shops that could easily make me a custom one for about $300. different story for you.

 

[Ric]

Yeah, a nice one piece is under $300.. but then i need the $250 adapter plate for the sc/supra 3 bolt rear diff
