Mark's 1G Winter Projects

That thing was hauling so much ass. Get it back together for the 10-11th at rock falls! Johnnys car might be there if he can keep out of the liquor and get his car buttoned up.

How about a custom rear section drive shaft? Spicer 2-2-329 flange might work but probably requires drilling new mounting holes for the 3kgt flange bolt pattern. It is a 1310 series joint so it's way stronger than factory dsm u joint. And maybe do a 3" DOM tubing? I haven't figured out the cv head section yet that will bolt up to the driveshaftshop adapter.

Bummer to hear man. Saw u a couple times cruising around on your 4 wheeler.

Crazy, I need to check mine now.

I got some in car video from PG!:rude: Here is Mark's car when it let broke the U joint, and mine was having fuel issues later to find out clogged injector.

I still won my race with a 10.9!.....I looked calm, I wasn't!

I called dss, the only way to get an upgraded u joint in the rear is to buy a 1 piece carbon fiber shaft, which they recommended to upgrade to a 1 piece shaft anyway. I can better control the pinion angle now too. It will be better now for next year!

It’s been a while since my last update. I had a 1 piece carbon fiber driveshaft made by dss after I destroyed my dss aluminum HD shaft. This allowed me to move up to a stronger 1310 style u joint too. It's crazy long, I can't wait to see how the CF reacts vs the old 2 piece.

I also needed to strengthen up the mounting of the rear end, the brace in the rear broke once, the torque literally ripped it apart. Check out how the chromoly ovaled.

I increased the tube wall thickness to .120 from .083, and machined end caps that will be all welded up.

And the factory mounts were weak too, so I made stronger ones out of DOM 1026 tube:

Luckily I have a lathe for all this type of stuff.

Also I’m upgrading to a 72mm Gen2 PTE turbo this winter, it will make the car even more crazy!

That CF driveshaft is sweeeeet. And I can't believe you're bending the mounting pieces, that's crazy power, hopefully the 50% thicker wall holds a bit better haha.
