So, I was thinking about what material to use and it came to my mind yesterday as we were working on a cobra at the shop, why the hell not use a alum driveshaft Anybody done it? yes? not? Maybe use steel and for instance take a fire extingiesher (however that spells)?? Perhaps too thin? Tell me what you guys think.


































Oh, yeah, here you go:

driveshaft or a fire extinguisher?
you do realize that by exerting force on metal you can cause it to bend :1

Ooooh, high buck. :

I saw pictures of a Neon engine with a fire extinguisher plenum once. I saved them, but I think that was before my hard drive crash. :1
