In aerospace where im guessing is the luna rover or similer and it goes 15mph! It would not last 2 mins on our cars as we break hard carbon steel and special alloyed driveshafts as it is! So carbon would be the worst material ever for driveshafts! Ok maybe we should called them axles as driveshafts can also be called prop shafts, so in that axles cannot be made in carbon! Because they just wont last,
So maybe its in aerospace but its never going to make it to the cars! Even F1 dont use carbon axles! And if they dont then it must be for a reason as they would be years ago if it was possible. Not that i like F1 but they are big innovators of carbon, koenigsegg also are big players in carbon and they still use the best which is a carbon alloy for axles! Cars like ason martin ect use a carbon propshaft but as i said they are not the same as axles
Propshaft and drive shafts are technically the same thing, they go from transfer case to diff. Where i or we sometime get confused on is people call them different things and mean the same thing.I have carbon driveshafts in the 14,000 horsepower prop plane I fly on. They are fine.
Also the driveshaft shop makes 1 piece carbon fiber shafts for cars. It's not anything crazy.
I may be losing something in translation with regard to prop shafts?
Mmmmm fruity!!!! LolI would like someone to build In-Hub electric motors to fit on the rear of a GST. This would give the fwd cars an instant AWD conversion in hybrid form, and it might even help with MPG. Ive seen it on a prototype Electric Evo /Lancer that never came to fruition
Never going to happen, from a safety standpoint.Carbin fiber airbag cover not delete but cover
Our firewall is too thin for a 3rd connector! While it can be done and has been the flex would still remail unless its going through to the dash's cross bar or roll cage
Ive only got a pic of it to the firewall, not going through to the cage,any pics?
Someone had a write up on here using lexan. Been thinking about trying that.Has anyone found a quality sunroof plug? I see that Carbonetics makes a carbon fiber one, anyone have any feedback on it?

True. I'm all for a mass produced plug. I hate the sunroof so much.The big problem that I thought about with using lexan is matching the contour of the roof. I like the idea but I almost feel like welding the hole shut would be easier at that point. If the carbon fiber plug was done right then the contour should be correct so a lot less headaches there.
Id like to see a different headlights fo92-94 and gauge pods for the steering column
