I believe he bet it on Newcastle staying in the premier league. After todays result he handed the car over as even Boro stand a better chance of staying up

shut your face draper. the dream is still mathematically possible.......

but aye, kinda snapped a drive shaft. did a 12.5, then a couple 12.4, then a few 12.3, then a 12.2, then a 12.1 then snapped a shaft. sadly it was just as the car was seemingly getting quicker each run. oh well. got a calibra one off a mate, going to see if that fits in the morning. if it does will go kick its head in again tomorrow on the air field.

Just a slight problem though, not a major setback. Rasp a set of equal length shafts in it? Was it the long one or the short one?

Dunno ken. Some people say you have to cut them down a bit, possibly 5-10mm but i cannot confirm this. Only way to check is to do it the sen.

one i snapped was an mtec one. had them since about 2002 and been on this corsa turbo and previously my old xe corsa.

should really drag my ass out of bed and go fit a new driveshaft to the corsa. just too lazy.
