Recently happened to myself aswell.

very hard launch into a nice power slide when the offside inner CV joint let go on me.

it didnt just give up tho, the CV exploded and took a large lump out of the crossmember and as the shaft was still spinning it got tangled into the brake lines amd chewed thru those aswell.

ive now fitted xr4x4 driveshafts, they appeared to be mildly longer than the standard items.

id been told by several people not to fit these but as my car is pretty damn low at the front i was getting a nasty angle on my shafts so obviously point to point if further and i took the chance and fitted the longer shafts.

ive had no problems with them since fitting.


But other than that, if you intend on doing the odd hard launches then you are going to slowly find the weak points in your transmission, front diff and gearbox maybe next on the destruction list!
