Drive Shafts power?

Postby phil_pearce on Mon Apr 20, 2009 12:56 pm

What is the safe limit of Fiesta Turbo Drive shafts? Is there a stronger replacement which does not cost the earth?

Thanks

The gear box will give up the ghost before the drive shafts

I think sunny's old FRST had over 440 bhp and there are many others with the same power so i think your safe
