85turbo12a is on a distinguished road
so i took it to the track a few weeks ago for the first time to get some data and see what it would do...well...first launch at 2k rpm....yeah the yoke available for the 7260 joint cant take it, nor did the greasable Ujoint, but that said the yoke failed badly, pics dont show it clearly, but the ears are twisted quite a bit, and the internal spline is twisted as well, that is the only thing available i know of for the T2 trans, unless i make one, which i lack the tooling to spline it...so i have a new shaft now, with a solid joint and ill just stick to the street until i can find something stronger, i beat on it relentlessly on the street with no problem, but with drag radials and VHT...bang...car only moved about 6inches....never did get a pass....dammit...driveshaft loop going in car ASAP....
