          Crazy thing is I had made a pass with burnout, launch, ect and nothing and then once I setup a run and put it in drive and hit the gas a little thats when it twisted.

          DS safety loop was my next mod. I'm trying to figure out now which driveshaft to get.

                Dang, you got lucky it happened when it did! Wow... I run a carbon fiber DS on mine.. Haven't had any issues to date(been on for 6 years or so)..

                        I see vengeance sells a carbon fiber one and I came across a company called inland empire. This search should be fun

                          We definitely need pictures of the car with the drag setup - those skinnies look sexy.

                            carbon isnt recommended for the street.
                            its strong torsionally but if a rock or something hits the side its toast
