Lidoidol Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 I would definitely be interested, but as many others have said, I want stronger u joints. The only problem I see is that a custom rear yoke would have to be made or the stock one machined somehow, definitely increasing cost. Keep me informed.

Sean_P Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 yep I've looked into having a custom drive line made and the machinist can not get the yokes they would have to be fabricated by a machinist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G54BT Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 Hi! I would be interested in a carbon-fiber drive shaft. If only aluminum is available, I'd go that way...Please keep me on your list! has there been any updates? Many thanks! -Howard Dreispan, The Starion/Conquest Group. 1989 Starion, loaded with HKS, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostjunkie Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 I'd be interested in either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 http://www.cannonengineering.com/ these guys will do aluminum ones for about $300 using the stock yolk and they install heavy duty joints. there are NO vibration issue with aluminum as was mentioned above. the issue with aluminum is the diameter of the piping used has to be slightly larger than the steel factory one and that sometimes causes clearance issues on some cars, if the driveshaft is long such as the one on the 3000GT. in those cases, the carbon fiber works great but it costs a lot. if aluminum works, there is no reason get carbonfiber.
