having a driveshaft issue with my k20a civic
ok...
This is my scenerio:
I swapped the JDM K20A motor into my 01 civic sedan.
I used GSR driveshafts for the initial swap.(one of HASPORT's options for driveshafts)
after a few weekends of racing and launching the car...
left driveshaft popped out.
so i disassembled a set or RSX type R driveshafts and used the GSR heads (one of HASPORT's options for driveshafts)
The right driveshaft was too long and the inner boot ripped after a quick test drive.
Decided to get another set of GSR driveshafts...drove about 1/2hr and the left driveshaft popped out again.
My question is...what shaft should i be using?
The only other options i have are HASPORT driveshafts or CIVIC SI driveshafts.
Options?...i'm wondering if HASPORT could give some feedback if they are on this board.
thanks

Yea use 02-04 EP SI axles.
actually ithink the 02-03 si axles the 04 is 5 lug.. I had the same issue. The Gsr one will work on the passenger side oddly enough but like poppin ou tof the driver side. When i had this problem. I just got the Si axles.I was to lazy to do the passenger side so i just did the driver side since that was the problem. oh and Fyi the locking ring on ure gsr axles dont lock in its proper place thus poppin out under load.
