I am at the moment having my engine rebuilt and am in the process of getting my head around what needs to be done whilst the engine and gearbox are out. I am going to have a lightened flywheel and new clutch but has anyone replaced there drive shaft with a carbon fibre one or had any thoughts on the idea.
