Jayl, I'm beginning to think that you don't like me ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ...I'm one of those "idiots" who stayed in the gas on a wheelhop launch at Sac ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) I can tell ya though, by the time you realize you're wheelhoppin', it's usually too late, it happens that fast. I had no chance to get outta the gas. JohnB can verify the carnage that was once my rear end. I broke the housing completely and driveshaft also fell victim. It was fugly....BUT...JohnB in his usual "help everyone" fashion had my car back on the road in no time...with a IRS brace on this time. I agree with John, gotta upgrade part on the IRS wherever ya can. I'm going with bushings and halfshafts here pretty quick. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) ...or I'm gonna go with a built solid.

Thanks again to all that gave their input for me. I hope someday to meet some of you guy's one day. Mabye at the next Apex meet or something. Hopefully my car will be done by then too. This is a cool site to be part of.

I would say to pm johnB.. he did the mods I needed and is familiar with the cobra.. My driveline is the next in line as it is a weak link.. however, it can be modded and work well.. irs brace...input shaft... and half-shafts.. enjoy...
