You bought those driveshafts new from Toyota right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 LOL, I did indeed mate both driver and passenger side! but at the cost of £360 odd quid for an inner cv joint you may aswell buy a whole new shaft for an extra £200 lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yeah, or buy aftermarket ones that will do just the same job at a fraction of the price So do you have the car back from TD now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I dont think there are any aftermarket inner cv's available mate, you should look in to getting some made up ;)The car is at race-tech at the moment, then going back to TD for the rest of the build and mapping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burny Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Best thing about the M4 is the tolls, hitting launch control as your handing the money to the barrier person then boosting flat racing all the cars lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jhandy Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 The rac came to me in 20 mins, looked around the thing, and then we unplugged the maf sensor, and she went into default mode, should have known that really, oh well at least it got me here, just hope it gets me home lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
