competition cv joints

[tridimnaw]

hi, do any companys make uprated outer cv's for the standard nova hub or is it f20 cv's that are comonly used? do f20 joints fit the standard nova shafts?

[mk1nova_rich]

a lot of people use "big" shafts for competition with the bigger CVs, but unfortunately these won't fit standard Nova shafts...you would also need to fit "big block" hubs as well

Small block or big block application?

[simonm]

Depends what engine gear box your runnin and power small block you can run bigblock shafts you'll have to change the sun gears in the diff to take them

[Novasport]

Best setup is standard big block hub flanges(Not the machined ones readily available with conversion kits) fitted into machined out knuckles with Golf Rallye/Synchro bearings. Motorsport big block conversion shafts with big block CV's inner and outer with either a big block diff or a small block diff with different side gears as mentioned dependant on engine

small block with a f13 and a quaife atb diff, any sugestions on wat the best options are?

[Novasport]

Unless you are rallying with a big power small block and giving it death then standard GTE stuff should be fine

fit some lock stops on the rack & make sure the wheels are pointing straight before flooring it. that will make them last for a very long time. maybe invest in some genuine cv joints, some of the aftermarket stuff is made from caramel

I had a e16se with about 130bhp and tranex diff with standard shafts never had a bother with it broke one cv but was my own fault for doggin it but there plenty strong

[tridimnaw]

ok cool thanks for the advice, where can i get lock stops from?

[simonm]

What exactly are you using the car for?

[mowgli]

no idea, you'll probably have to get some machined.

Bike seat clamps work as lock stops ;)
