profab axels
 

I know profab does alot of 4wd but has anyone ever used these axels on their car.
on another site there are some foe a b16 brand new stage3 for a good price and I just wanted some info from u kids

Re: profab axels
 

I don't like severely upgraded axles on stock transmissions...if the axle doesn't break, where do you think all that abuse is heading? Right into your trans. My friend got a set of Driveshaft Shop "stage 2" axles for his 92 gsr...turned the splines into a twizzler along with the splines on his stock ys1 lsd. All from a hard 4k launch on a 6 puck clutch.

Re: profab axels
 

ouch thats why you sould purpose build your ---- tranny and axles if you want to launch thats hard unless its a 4 bolt main in a dsm 7k lauches

Re: profab axels
 

alot of people are in the whole get stage 28 axle fazz right now for some reason. when you really dont even need them if you aint got the power (400+), its pointless.

Re: profab axels
 

well the tranny is a s4c itr lsd with all new gears and syncros so its not stock, and as far as hp definatley over 400 hp

Re: profab axels
 

just bought some better axels drive shaft 3.9 600hp rate 501.00 brand new

Re: profab axels
 

waste of money

Re: profab axels
 

why

Re: profab axels
 

You can run stock axles up to 7.5's in the 1/8th, easy. When you start dropping into the low 7's and high 6's is where they start breaking.

Most of the 600 whp cars on HT don't run 7.5's in the 1/8th. You only need 300 whp and a couple band-aids on stock suspension to run 7.5's EASILY, but if you don't go there why waste the money?

Re: profab axels
 

well finally got the axels but both hubs and studs were missing so after dispute the seller refunded me 300.00 for the replacement cost of new ones (hubs) from DSS. that makes the total cost 0f 250.00 for a set of DSS 3.9 axles brand new. not to bad of a deal, and a friend has a set of hubs (gsr) that he is letting me have free.

they dont have 1/8 mile track here and I'm looking towards the 12's in 1/4 when the build is done

Re: profab axels
 

Im sorry, this is just my input, but your upgrading axles to run 12's...

You said you are deffintly over 400 hp...man spend the money on tires if you only wanna run 12's.

I can't justify that at all.

How heavy is your car?

Re: profab axels
 

I couldnt turn down the price on the axles, slicks will come later, with me in the car total weight is 2040 89HB

Re: profab axels
 

That's a ten second car, old man.

Re: profab axels
 

well i'm just looking for low 12's anything else will be a bonus

Re: profab axels
 

If you want 12s run street tires and granny shift.

Re: profab axels
 

Any thing in JD's e-racing world runs 10's or 9's with 300whp :-*

Re: profab axels
 

Hey JD you better be careful calling me old man that could be considered racism lol

Re: profab axels
 

Eh, what do you call a stock suspension CRX with 390 whp that has 1.7xx 60' because it's faster through the 60' to beat the revlimiter four licks than to take the time to shift to second? 4.4x-4.6x is the average 330' time, and runs flat 7's at 107-108 with pissy traction?

Pffft, I watched the BRE car, which took their NDRA class last year with mid to high 10 second passes, at the same track I go to pull 1.42 60', 4.46 330', 7.1x@91 mph. Full fiberglass, lexan, caged pile of ---- with wheelie bars and a full crew of swinging dicks claiming to be billy badasses who couldn't break into the 6's despite their flapping gums. Let's see, their ET and trap were, uhm, slower and slower. Apparently they aren't at the level of power production I am at, despite their $$$ budget and 500 whp claims; no way in hell that gutted pile weighed more than Goforth's CRX. ::)

If anybody hasn't noticed, while I'm a HUGE fan of big power drag Honduhs, I'm pretty ------- disinterested in making power these days. What do my few tech posts of late consist of? Suspension. When people ask for track tips I step into threads where fools debate tire compounds while I point out cut springs and 1.5 degrees of negative camber don't give a contact patch worth having and cause stupid tire wear that destroys the tire's ability to EVER give a contact patch worth having. I'm pretty sure I know what I am talking about because, unlike the douchelords from BRE, I do not buy parts out of a catalogue - I make or design them myself, have a working understanding of how suspension behaves (or needs to behave) that eclipses "buy Brand X part and here are the alignment settings I was told to run on HT" intellectual capabilities.

Is it really so hard to believe that while I can understand electricity or engine theory or embedded microcontrollers that I can't understand weight transfer? All I have EVER done is exercise redneck common sense while other people yank their dicks over Jerks or Slummit catalogues, or whatever Mickey Mouse Riceboy tuenar magazine has the sweet K-build this week. ::)

I was just throwing you ---- since ive never seen u post a time slip of your own ;)

Re: profab axels
 

I have two jobs, school, a kid - I have no time of my own, and the house with the garage went buh-bye so I could afford school. I roll up long enough to lay the smack down on ----, and then I am gone.
