Yep, got mine, unwrapped it, and promptly wrapped it back up and cried that I don't have any free time. Soon, my baby, soon...

Oh, almost forgot.

Thanks Kevin. This was a real buy. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

No problem guys. And, as I said, we are now set up on a distributor account so I can order more if anyone needs one or knows someone who does. This includes custom stuff, other cars, etc.

So no one here yet has installed their new CF driveshaft after 3 weeks? it takes 15 mins. I figure I'd be seeing rave reveiws by now.

I think they've all gone to the track, no time to post about racing, it's time to do it......(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I had mine installed the day after I got it...

Race day is this weekend!

I installed one of these shafts today, and have some observations that may be useful to others:

-There is supposed to be a C-clip on each of the bearing caps on the rear Ujoint - they center the Ujoint in the pinion yoke. The C-clips were missing on this shaft. I was able to scrounge some off an old OEM shaft in my scrap metal pile.

-Exhaust clearance at full droop was about 1/4" to the stock steel ds, and there were signs that an exhaust clamp had been rubbing on the ds. Since the CF shaft is about 5/16" larger in radius, the exhaust had to move. I loosened all the clamps on the system, and the trans hanger, and winched it over towards the passenger side with ratcheting tiedown, then retightened the clamps and hanger. I got the clearance from the CF shaft at full droop to about 1/2". Then I had to space the Gload brace down with a couple of washers and trim a corner off the SLP SFC to keep the exhaust from rattling. 3" SLP exhaust, pretty typical for our cars. In my experience the Borla systems are the worst ds killers.

-Clearance to OEM TQ arm: There are 2 bosses with a nut in them used to attach a center Ujoint support for the V6 2pc ds - these bosses are extremely close to the CF ds, so I excise them with a sawzall. I also pry the TQ arm towards the drv side as I tighten the axle housing bolts.

Mine was missing the C Clips as well.

So was mine... a new/replacement one is on the way.

Any feedback?
I'm in. I think might have missed the boat. Lol

I'll see if they still remember me and if I still have a dealer account. These are the last orders I ever placed. lol. Guess it's been longer than I thought. And there are a lot of old friends in this thread. It's amazing how many people have come and gone over the years.

Yes, and I suspect that their 'regular' price from back then is still WAY LESS than any GP price would be today. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Probably doesn't work for everyone, but scrounge ebay pretty regularly and you can come up with a CF driveshaft a lot cheaper. I own two right now that I have a grand total of $650 in including new u-joints and used yokes (32spl for T10/Muncie).
