4. #1 means they can have tighter tolerances of the tunnel so lower floor and more passenger room.
5. Having a joint midway means less of the driveshaft (only the rear 1/2) is usually hanging lower to meet the rear diff, meaning more clearance to the road.
6. Less tubing length means they can make the diameter smaller. With a long 1 piece aluminum drive shaft you need to increase the diameter to increase the strength.

With 1 piece you get all the things enthusiast want. A more direct feeling and faster response due to lighter rotating parts. The mod is very comparable pros and cons list-wise to doing a lightweight flywheel or stiffer bushings and engine mounts. Not something the everyday consumer and OEM want or notice. If your the type that can notice the effects of lightened rotating mass then this is your kind of mod.

If you ever get the chance to swing it their carbon drive shaft is another step up as it is even lighter with even less vibrations.

I'm running a steel one piece now cuz I have an LS engine. The aluminum would have taken up too much room in the tunnel

Happy to be rid of all the sound generator crap.

I need that red manifold!

Had my tires rebalanced after feeling vibration in the highway. They're still vibrating. Just checked and two of my plastic centric rings are cracked. I think they balanced them with the rings on

Oil was on sale at crappy tire. 55% off for Pennzoil ultra platinum.

Love my amsoil but hard to beat 25L of this stuff to the price of 9L amsoil.

Finally got around to playing with the data logging feature on the OFT last night. I did it wrong, of course, but I'm learning.

For those not familiar with the term it refers to the big box chain here in Canada known as Canadian Tire. The term refers to it's low priced items sometimes not being of good quality.

Changed out my wheels and went for a drive with a friend with a mk5 GTI.

Your wheels look good -

(IMHO - that mk5 GTI is an ugly little thing -

)

Thanks! About the GTI, I actually think it's got that classic boxy hatchback look, but definitely not for everyone.

Full disclosure: I had a mk6 GTI so I may be a bit biased
