Default Ls1 in my Lamborghini

Hey guy great site!! I was wonder if you can help me out, I'm looking for a better soultion then the stock half shafts offered with the C5.
As you see below I'm building from the ground up a Lambo Diablo I'm up to the part to mate the Half shafts. This is an old shot just to give you a veiw.

Wow, I'm speechless. This is a fuggin' cool project!!!!!!! We don't have much options when it comes to the half shafts other then putting a solid rear in. I think there is one company out there that makes beefed up shafts. Mark Williams if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks would love to... I'm also using a few parts from the suspension of the C5 vette. It has been two years of work mostly in the winter so I'm hoping to have most of it done before summer next year.

Thanks,
John

Thanks again Guys I'm going to make my own after talking with the people you wrote about in this thread they cannot offer anything more then I was thinking. LOL they said my soultion may be better then they could do. I will let you know once they are completed What you see below is the half that will go to the C5 and the other will go to the Porcsh.
