    It was important enough for you to mention it in your first post, which is why I asked.

    You broke the differential AND the main shaft?

    You have real talent.

    If the main shaft broke, also the Differenttial crashed. That is a normal problem of the 512TR transmission. Because of this I built in a stronger main shaft.
    I live in High Speed Germany and I drive with my Ferraris full power without speed limits!
    When I want to drive slowly I take my Rolls-Royce!
    I need now show Ferrari... I need a Ferrari for drive with full speed till 315km/h on highway
    Till 250km/h at normal streets!

    take a shaft from rob hayden from australia or contact phil in GB, he import those shafts from rob
    I have one in my koenig competition and no problem this then - not until now :)

    you have done so much nice work, so why not just put on 2 turbochargers?

    I have a a stronger shaft which is built in Germany.
    The Turbo are nothing to drive longer distance Full Power.
    Too dangerous to drive very fast in curves and I drive really allways very fast with my Ferraris. I want to drift carefully. With Turbo too dangerous!
    I was now in Switzerland for driving some wonderful hill passes: Sustenpass, Grimselpass, Nufenpass, Furkapass, Gotthardpass. The best was the old Gotthardpass the Tremola....
    The best Racing street I ever drive. Way up the hill with my 550 Maranello all in the 2. gear with full power on the Cobblestones street...

    But I seek more power with sport camshafts. But do not know if it is possible and good for the motor!

    The car had some stupid owners before and I habe to repair very much old problems!

    A better loud exhaust, but I have no place!!!!! Normaly not possible too change the exhaust without built out the motor!

    Seek a better backside grill, as you see on the picture!

    I need no Ferrari to drive it like a Fiat Bambino..... Sorry!
    After 800km driving the shaft break. With the new shaft there are no more Problems.
    Turbo-joe has the same shaft with 1000PS.
    But I start to think about to built in 2 Turbos with only 0.3bar.
    I telephone today some hours with the nice turbo-joe....so I start changing thinking!
    Dreaming of easy driving 600PS without turbo lag!
