thanks, lol
does anyone have any info on any good drive shafts, other than going and getting a custom steel one?
Wow, that sucks. Sorry to hear though.
I have the 1-piece steel driveshaft from Jawsgear. I'd recommend them or Shaftmasters (vendor here).

The Juggernaut has my old
Driz: Craig had come across a bunch of posts I'd made in the past about why the Feramic discs weld them selves to flywheels while he was researching the subject.
He asked if I thought it would be ok to use one as his HP was "moderate"
I said no the rest is history.

Thanks bluemkiii and suprarcr89

And as for the pm, IJ pretty much said it all. We ordered the feramic full face because we wanted a disk that was streetable, and could hold some power. After reading about it on the HPF website, we ordered it. The next day, I did some research and found out that the Feramic disk and Aluminum fly wheels don't mix well. I pm'd IJ because he seemed like he knew alot about it, and asked him if I would be ok with it only making about 500 horsepower. He said he wouldn't risk it. So then my dad called back to HPF to see what they said about it, and they said that only making 500 hp it wouldn't be a problem, so we stuck with that disk. Then it welded itself.
Big mistake.

As did mine :nono:
I run the Spec and the drive ability is great. It's designed for both street and track so I say get this! It is a little cash but it's what you would need for launching the car hard.
Also replied to your pm.

It's not really the rwhp that's the issue it's more our fat pigs and getting them rolling coupled with the slow to release hydraulic clutch.
This is a perfect combination for friction welding.

I thought it was a good upgrade, but I guess I thought wrong because it didn't last. It's gonna be steel now, hopefully it won't do the same thing.

Well, while it's unfortunate that this happened to you...you actually made the rest of us supra owners aware that these aluminum driveshaft aren't for everybody(if anybody).
