Yes fingers crossed that the correct driveshaft will solve the problem....

I will update after I receive the MK3 Front Shaft and install it

Its not a show car by any means it has it flaws in the body department....but it is a drivers car.....I didnt spend all this money on GTE and everything else to let it sit in the garage and take it out to car shows......


It is meant to be driven......

I agree with you there. The guy took some great pics. It looks like a show car from these pics. Mine looks like crap but with quality like that it would make my car look as if it came like a piece of crap. Lol

And that was all it needed. Lol. I plan on running a SC400 lip rather than the Wise. So much so I'm willing to splurge to get a good one. More importantly before all of that I plan on getting the motor up to outstanding shape. Rather have a car that's in top notch running condition vs a pretty lawn ornament.

I received MK3 Front Driveshaft from the seller yesterday and installed it.....I was only able to take the car for a 10 min ride yesterday due to thunderstorms...

I need to take it for an extended drive and double check to make sure I am not getting any more leaking issues...

So far how are you liking those Godspeed RS's? Seriously thinking on picking up a set. I read your comments on the CXRacing setup but I'm into performance/comfort not just the drop.
