@slates74 any news on AT fitment?

Still need a local with an AT car to step up to the plate!

We'll see how long it takes them to send one out. I'll take pics of the install and give my feedback. I doubt I'll hear any whining if there is any. I'm running a full exhaust. Looking forward to it!

I'm just curious, are these built to order?

I ordered mine Friday night. They made one Monday and shipped it Tuesday so should have it end of this week hopefully.

If you have the means to do so, measure your 0-60 times before and after. It would be good to know what kind of improvement this makes.

BTW, Aluminum is corrosion resistant. That's one of the desirable attributes of aluminum. For example, marine companies like to use it instead of steel, not only because of the weight, but it takes much higher quality steels to meet the same corrosion resistance of aluminum.

Salt shouldn't be your worry. OEM shaft is more likely to corrode. I'd be more worried about the shaft vaulting me in the instance of a failure. 1 pieces tend to do that.

Mannnnn, no package this week.... I've been shafted!!!

Can you find out what aluminum they use for the yokes and shaft? Also what tolerances they balance to? TIA.

Wrist20 08-25-2013 10:32 PM

The aluminum used is Alcoa certified 6061. Tolerance for straightness is between .000-.003 and the balance is between .000-.001. Check out Wrist20 on IG to see a video showing the quality or click on the link.

What he said. They also said the ends are forged aluminum and the joints are hd spicer.
