[QUOTE="wjfawb0, post: 1028326, member: 11585"] Seems like the path to launching on the IRS goes this way: Get upgraded half shafts (like DSS with 300M center bars at least) Get differential girdle (like mjchip's) Get 26 spline tranny input shaft with new clutch (liberty makes these from GM input shafts) Then, just launch hard until you destroy the transmission. :-D I broke a half-shaft the other day on nitto 315 555Rs. Here are two different videos of the breakage: [url]http://sweb.uky.edu/~wjfawb0/vids/JasonShort.wmv[/url] [url]http://sweb.uky.edu/~wjfawb0/vids/half_shaft_break_2004_3_13.WMV[/url] Pics of the shaft: [img]http://sweb.uky.edu/~wjfawb0/2004_3_13_broken_half_shaft/half_shaft_broken.jpg[/img] [img]http://sweb.uky.edu/~wjfawb0/2004_3_13_broken_half_shaft/half_shaft_broken2.jpg[/img] [img]http://sweb.uky.edu/~wjfawb0/2004_3_13_broken_half_shaft/half_shaft_broken3.jpg[/img] [img]http://sweb.uky.edu/~wjfawb0/2004_3_13_broken_half_shaft/half_shaft_broken_cv_joint.jpg[/img] The center bar broke. Drive Shaft Shop (DSS) claims that this is the weak point, and it seems to be the piece that fails most of the time. When I break another half shaft, I will go for the upgraded center bars at a minimum. I already ordered a girdle from mjchip to help keep the differential cover in one piece. -Jason [/QUOTE]
