Failed CV Joints (DriveShaft)

Thanks for the offer but the shafts and cv joints are holding up pretty good for now. Anyway i'm curious about the project. I'd like to see a lot of pics and detailed info when the parts will be produced ;)
 
A complete set of shafts and cv joints should be produced in the next 2 - 3 weeks would like me to add you to the list

I assume you got a quote, if so are you comfortable with letting us know the cost?

Cost are coming but I added you to the list so that when I do have cost I remember who I need to get in contact with.

I kept forgetting to ask, did you make Audi aware of the problem? I was wondering if they may have offered warranty work to rectify it Daniel.

Cheers mate. Just so there's no miscommunication it's price only, no commitment to buy yet.

Looking good ! :)

How do you plan to "rigorously" test them?

Took the car out for a long hard run yesterday, so far I have not been able to break the new shafts, not sure whether that is a good or bad thing lol. I suppose it's a good thing. However, I don't wanna get to attached in case they let me down so it is early days yet.

Any quote for the shafts?

How is it handling?
 
Are they still holding up to your rigorous testing ?

I can report they have not broken as of yet. Shafts will be going back to the guy who developed them mid December to be checked. If he is happy with the wear shades should be on sale around Christmas. I should also have prices next week.

I have an update, I have now managed to break the outer cv joint/ boot, bear side rear. Shafts will be off the car today and back for a little tweaking. We are almost there .

Cost of drive shafts will be about £850.

The shafts are competition shafts, they have been heat treated and are strong enough to be used on a touring car. I will aim to get you some form of description of what they have been made out of but I wouldn't recommend something if it didn't work

Due to the shafts requiring more refinement & testing, when do you think they may become available? I assume when the time comes we will contact Track-Tek to place orders?

By the way thanks for keeping us all informed!
 
January I recon maybe a little sooner but no later
