Thompson Coupling - CV Replacement?
Hey guys, I saw this on the New Inventors a few months ago, I think, and was just passed this link to the guy's new company trying to sell these things.
They're supposed to be a new, better, way to transfer rotating power in a flexible joint. They claim that it's more efficient, and able to bend further and retain that efficiency at higher angles.
So I thought it could be a good CV replacement for a lifted suby - I've been told that regular CVs tend to wear out quicker on a lifted car.
Anyway, looks like a decent idea - and it's all australian.

What do you guys think?

of course Subaru body lift kits don't actually change the CV angle (hardly at all)...most people break them simply from the extra mechacnical pain driving offroad brings to the car, lifting spinning wheels off the ground when rock crawling etc.
The CV angle gets changed when people start putting in taller springs, taller struts, modifying the body lift to bring the diff up higher etc.
Looks like a great product but no doubt not mass produced yet, most likely hellishly expensive....but if you could get your hands on some I bet a local CV joint place could adapt them to existing stub axels and driveshafts. Some places to pretty good custom work mixing and matching CV joints from different models etc. I've heard of people using Porsche joints in Subarus.
