400whp breaks things......
I think I sheared the bolts off... CV disconnected from the tranny . Just when the weather was getting good and I can turn the boost back up...

I've heard some great things about it.
Definately time to go to some 10.9 grade CV bolts.

FWIW, Windward states on their site that the tranny cannot handle more than 350 HP.
"TECH TIP: Your 944 turbo's transaxle (Manufactured by Audi) cannot tolerate over 350 H.P. (real world) without breaking. Oddly enough, all 924 models have a stronger Porsche-manufactured transaxle."

I am very curious. Check out these aftermarket GKN axles. Do you think they could handle 400+ RWHP? If you don't think these can, what will work? I need to know myself?

I've snapped a couple on my NA, but they backed out first.
From all the grease spray, I'm inclined to say they backed out before snapping.
Do you use locktite on them? Since mine backed out once, I've always used blue locktite, and they've never backed out.
I live in Signal Hill, but my G/F lives in Forest lawn, and I go to the university, so no part of the city is foreign to me
I saw your car at race city last year, but you had your winter tires on
Ryan (redlyne_mr2) has said many many good things about your car...

Yea, the bolts used to back out even with locktite, and shear the bolts because only 2 or 3 are holding up all the power. That's why they're safety wired now so they don't come out. Every single bolt broke this time around hehe.
I heard it's going to snow at the end of the week, so if you wanna check it out, lemme know while it's still warm. Hopefully the car will be back on the road by tomorrow.
