Your synchros are gunna love you. And your two piece tailshaft. And your stock stub axles. And your stock clutch. Get a BMR Fabrications one piece aluminium (yep aluminium, not aluminum, somehow you crazy kids in America dropped an i out of there somewhere) tailshaft, while you're on the phone to them order a set of stub axles and cv's. Then ring summit and order a TrueTrac and then order a set of 3.91 diff gears. And don't forget the Textralia Z-Grip clutch. Trust me, I speak from experience.

@dynamytedave It doesn't really sound like you are speaking from experience.

LOL Thanks for the advice....I just need to find a money tree now.

My stock clutch acutally lasted 66k and about 100passes before I started having problems. My tailshaft isn't aluminum though, the tailshaft housing is. My DRIVESHAFT on the otherhand, is still the stock 2 piece. 450/414 to the wheels, 150+ passes on sticky tires, and haven't had a problem with anything Same goes for the stock stubs and axles.

@gconnoyer Gimme your email address and I'll send you some happy snaps of blown rubber couplings and shot driveshafts. If that's not experience, I don't what is. How many k's on your car? Mine had about 115,000km's on it when the clutch decided to take a holiday. I replaced it with another standard clutch and it gave up after about 15,000kms. Then I upgraded to a Textralia Z-Grip. That's when the driveshaft and rubber couplings clapped out thanks to the harder launches.

@dynamytedave

My car has about 133,000km's on it...and the clutch was replaced 32,000km ago because it was slipping and not disengaging. If you're saying a Stage 3 Monster or Mcleod RXT isn't enough grip to break parts then I need to upgrade to the Tex.

I don't need to see your broken parts.

My rubber couplings aren't torn or cracked, but I am getting a DSS One piece.

I'm not really sure what you're bickering about, Stock driveline, and nothing broken....the end.

[gconnoyer]

LOL it was only for a second. Still on the stockers about 150 passes later.

[gconnoyer]

At the time it was 389

Its 450.

I have nothing but great things to say about tick. AWESOME company, great products and even better customer service.

[dynamytedave]

@gconnoyer I'm not bickering champ, I was only trying to offer some advise on upgrades that you will more than likely need to undertake given what you have done to the car and the type of usage that the car is seeing. I travelled down that road, and if I knew back then what I know now, I would've upgraded the parts and not suffered any failures. By the looks of things, I may drive mine a bit harder than you drive yours.

[dynamytedave]

@drgbyu Umm, probably because I don't need to validate my masculinity by posting in-car videos of myself on a run. Just because I have no vids of my car on the net, doesn't mean that I don't know what I'm talking about. I'll offer you the same as your buddy above, send me your email and I'll furnish you with all the details and pics you require to enjoy your meal of crow.

It looks like your stompin on a gypsy

[drgbyu]

@dynamytedave i don't see any track videos from your experience. stock everything in the drivetrain has lasted just as long in my car as it has in gregs and we are identical mod for mod. if i was keeping my car i'd throw another stock clutch back in it since they are so cheap. carry one in the trailer just incase...unless the car absolutely dead hooks the clutch drivetrain and clutch are fine. and i've dead hooked before and it just drives through the clutch.

aw Im jealous of your svede speed. I went with the Vayraram, but that's only cuz I couldn't afford the svede :(
