very interested in drive shaft. How much weight does it drop?

InfamousDX · 10-11-2006, 12:04 PM

haha chuck nice. YOu dont' need that though!

Anyway, any vibrations at high speed? Even the newer driveshafts from DSS are ending up unbalanced which get me a little scared.

X-Rex · 10-11-2006, 10:27 PM

ok first off I'll have pics posted tomorrow of the driveshaft

I had no issues with vibration. The fastest I ever went was like 80-90 with no issue. I also autocross again with no issue.

The driveshaft is extremely light, I think I read somewhere that it weighs like 12 pounds. You can easily pick it up with one hand. I would estimate it is about 2/3 to 1/2 the weight of the stock one. I could weigh them tomorrow if you are really interested.

there really are only two "issues" with installing this driveshaft. One is that it rubs the floorboard as mentioned on the other thread and on DSS's website, the other is that it can sometimes rub the rubber shiftboot up front... it doesn't interfere or cause any damage, it just makes contact with the little rubber piece. You'll know if this is happening by hearing a buzzing sort of noise coming from your gearshift. Again, I'd say its nothing to really worry about or just zip tie the boot tighter to give more clearance. If anyone has questions about installation you can message me.

Currently Chandy69 is the first person to contact me about the driveshaft, so right now he has dibs
