Urq project

On not sure yet. A local company could do it if it was 1 piece without the joint in the middle. So as I am using solid engine, box and diff mounts is there any reason I don't get them to make a 1 piece shaft retaining the cv joints at both ends?

Issue with a single piece propshaft is diameter has to increase to resist it running out of balance due to harmonic resonance at critical speed, this will increase its inertia which will dull drivetrain acceleration. I have looked this before but even with a 4" propshaft with length is on the type85/89 chassis with a 4.11 diff ratio speeds limited to around 100mph unless want use exotic materials like carbon fibre

Oh **** that. Looks like it will stay two piece and have to goto the mainland to get suitably shortened and balanced.

Try it on before shortening it!! Mine works fine un-shortened


Edit: Ups, just saw you're mounting a 0a3-box... I'm running 01e 5&6 gears in mine...

That is w good point. Are there any stock Audi props that are slightly shorter than the s2 prop?

The s2 avant is plenty shorter... You could use short or long s2 piece and mount to short or long urq piece For example; if you use the longer urq piece and mount it ot the shorter s2 piece you'll have a 30mm shorter propshaft.

also s4 c4 works, but are a bit thicker...

Ohh I have some URQ, urs4 and s2 coupe and advant shafts. Maybe some mix will work. But would require balanceing I suppose once parts are swapped?

I'm running 908whp, without balancing

No vibrations? Over 900 whp must be nuts!

Sure there are vibrations but nothing to bad. You should be fine...

Got the hand brake mechanism and cables connected. Had to weld a bracket to the floor to support the outer of the cable. Handbrake works well.

I wouldn't use a single piece prop it will either weigh a ton or be really expensive, or both! You only need to shorten and balance the front section. Not sure on the length of the 016 but for reference the OA3 is 28mm longer than the 01E

[diesel des]

I will try a mix of the shafts I have and if stuck get one shortened.

Pedal box setup has arrives and looks like it will fit fine. Seems good quality too. Will make brackets and fit over the weekend.
