Has anyone seen beneath their car and photographed the carbon propshaft?

Bob Santorini · 05-25-2015, 08:29 AM

I guess those who have changed tyres already may have had the opportunity to see the car from beneath.
Just curious as to what the carbon prop-shaft looks like in place. Is it evidently carbon / can you see the carbon weave etc?

Cheers,

Bob

It's hidden, better protection and preventing gunk build up.

Has anyone gotten to the point of upgraded clutch, etc? If so, they may have moved/seen the driveshaft in the process of getting to the trans to swap clutch/flywheel.

I'm sure over time there will be pics, great idea by OP.
