On this pass I launched at 6k and DEAD hooked but this happened lol. Replaced the driveshaft an hour later and drove home.

Re: Lots of Power + Lots of traction = twisted driveshaft
danngg, how much torque are you putting out?
What was that made of? -
Re: Lots of Power + Lots of traction = twisted driveshaft
Wow, talk about some torque. I think that is the worst I have ever seen one break. Did it break completely apart like that? Or did you finish it off the rest of the way after taking it off?
Either way, sorry to hear about that happening and hopefully you bought a stronger ds this time :)Comment

Re: Lots of Power + Lots of traction = twisted driveshaft
Oh, well good luck with all of it and I hope you get your car back to normal as soon as possible. Also, go to a dyno as soon as you can so we can see a dyno sheet of the torque it's producing.Comment

Re: Lots of Power + Lots of traction = twisted driveshaft
Supra and broken driveshaft = oxymoron
J/K lucky you had a spare driveshaft to get home.Comment

Re: Lots of Power + Lots of traction = twisted driveshaft
if you went to OSW this would happen because there is NO traction there!
