Why you should only use a space saver as "Tempory use"
« on: 04 June 2012, 19:02 »


Well i ran around waaaay to long on a space saver because i was being a lazy tool basicly....

Result being this, driveshaft slackend off and went to put car into reverse, got about 10 meters and bang driveshaft smashed into box  :nerd: :rolleyes:

If you use one, put it on the rear, or dont be a lazy tool like me, luckily this happened at work so didn't have to get it recovered anywhere haha  :cool:

Atleast i'm going 20vt and this wont be needed, so not such a loss  :drool:

I was wondering why one of the gear clusters is brown but that must be the speedo drive.

The nuts slackened off the inner shaft with it being a smaller wheel and it being under extra pressure with it being lowered i think caused it. A.d yeah that bit is the speedo drive
