Great pics, looks like a good time! As always though, makes me wish I lived closer to you guys. I love Denver and have been there on business a bunch over the years. I've even been to that Rock Bottom before!

Excellent pictures Michael. It was great to see some familiar faces and meet some new friends on Saturday. I'm always amazed at the quality of people that this little car has given me the opportunity to meet over the years.
Jack thanks for pulling this together and than Whit for putting up with us during lunch.
Hope to see all of you again very soon.
Sorry I had to split early to get back to Rapid city.It was nice to meet evryone, and get some ideas of what to do next on the Ironman.
Cool. I posted the pictures there, but they're pretty badly scaled and compressed. The ones on Picasa are better, but if anybody wants the full sized version to poke at, I can send them the full 4-7MB originals on request.Quote:

I know the green cups are diferrent lengths but the actual cv shaft itself is what I am referring to.I dont have mine anymore or I would measure them myself lol. I really dislike this user name lol, I have had it since high school, wish there was a way to change it.
raver, the left and right CV shafts ARE the same length so you should be good to go. I can't remember if we share our CV shafts with another Zu so hopefully someone will chime in about that. I know EMPI makes replacement shafts that fit our VX and I can get those numbers to you if you would like.
As for your screen name; you can PM Moncha (our esteemed administrator) and he can change your screen name for you. Easy peasy.
Left and right shaft are the same IF you are replacing from the green cup out. If you are replacing the entire shaft, then they are different. If you do a search you will find a post I started on the empi shafts which has all the part numbers you will need.
If you need the inners, I ended up buying the 94' trooper empi left CV. The jack shaft (inner) is the exact same as the VX but the half shaft (outer) is 1" shorter. You then need to buy a later model trooper cv from empi to get the right haf shaft length. I was actually able used the shorter half shaft because it fit much better after doing a 2" diff drop. Either way I would get the same length halfshafts for both sides. Also, EMPI uses tripods on the inner (:grino:stronger) when you buy the complete CV rather than just the halfshaft.
...I know its confusing. If I ever have time, I want to write up a wiki with pics to help find the right CVs. You can pm me if you need help, I have all the part #s I used from EMPI.
