Just had a quote and some designs done for uprated CV joints, and a set of shafts good for 300bhp/300lbft.

The price they've come back with isn't appealing though.

Has anyone ever though about putting together a set of equal length drive shafts like the Vauxhall boys all benefit from?  I was looking into it earlier in the year and they seem to have it too easy on that front...handling benefits and potential to increase strength too.

Not really knowing anything about nova's what is it about them that makes equal length driveshafts so easy to do?

you take them of a calibra and put them of a nova,
one shaft is short and the other bolts to the engine then from there down to the wheel making that one the same lenth.
