Driveshaft Shop Aluminum Drive Shaft.
Got one of these in today for stock and had to get shots of how sexy it was. :) The 1-piece aluminum driveshaft for the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ is a complete 6061-T6 3" aluminum shaft that is approximately 1/2 the weight of the factory 2-piece driveshaft. The 1-piece aluminum shaft features larger, replaceable and greaseable u-joints. By removing the factory 2-piece shaft and installing a single shaft the car will feel more responsive due to the lighter weight of the shaft and also the fact that the hanger bearing is not moving up and down during acceleration. Driveshaft Shop Aluminum Weight is 13.2lbs Stock is 24.2lbs Really cheap way to loose some rotating mass, and install is super simple. http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/TOSH86AL.JPG http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/TOSH86AL-1.JPG http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/TOSH86AL-2.JPG http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/TOSH86AL-3.JPG http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/TOSH86AL-4.JPG |
So pretty...So tempting.

Whats the weight difference compared to the carbon fiber shaft?

I wonder how loud it is.
|
What's the price?
& what kind of power would you expect this to hold? |
Looks awesome! Is it sold already?

Can hold around 700hp I believe. |
I've always wondered what the torque loss is through the stock centre hanging bearing and U-joint on the stock shaft. Replacing it with a straight shaft like this will cut that loss out - although perhaps add some loss back in with the different U-Joint angles at the transmission and differential. Anybody know how to calculate this or have the shaft joint angles?

Sooooo tempting! Why did you have to post this? Why?!?

Looks great! May have shot themselves in the foot with this. Not much of a point to spend almost double for 1lb difference between this and the CF one.
