wow.... i'm.....speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechless
GT series on Playstation has taught oh too many kids that carbon fibbber driveshafts are amazing and Teh FastAr. |
From what I hear, a good aluminum driveshaft fabbed up by a competent driveline shop will help shed pounds for much less $$$.
That is, unless of course, the car already has one. What can I say, it's been awhile since I've had to crawl up underneath my car. :shrugs shoulders: |
He said "lightweight" not "carbon fiber"... but it's still a waste of money at this point. $700+ will be better spent on cams and header.

Yeah the one i found was aluminiun. But BanSUV's makes a good point i could get the cams ground from delta and headers for about that much. Bur are thre any legal headers for the EJ22 out there. And is installing cams on a grip on labor or could i do it myself. I have not done on a horizontal engine before?
|
I see what you mean BAN SUVS. T-cel89 said "light weight", and Mad Ra88it mentioned "carbon fiber", and my brain automatically linked the two together. My bad.

$700 should get you cams, installed, after core charge if there is one for Delta. also, a lightweight flywheel and clutch will cost the same as that driveshaft and be more effective. |

i know... BUT....it had to be said. a driveshaft should be the last thing on your mind when building a beast of a car. Hell.. I'm getting my new one fab'd up, and yet i'm not even going with a 'light weight' one. its just plain retarded/waste of money...and yes...this coming from the person with stupid expensive ranDUMB parts...just cause i can. /wow rant... |

no...i said carbon fibbbbber... aka Faux carbon. it was a stab at video game racers. ;) |

Seven Bennys and change for an aluminum driveshaft? Ouch! Well, scratch that theory that aluminum is much cheaper. Of course, I haven't priced out an aluminum driveshaft in years... Now that I think about it, scrap prices for aluminum are through the roof right now. I get 50 cents a pound for banged-up Acura wheels the boss lets me take home from work. |

A word of note, if I may, about engine mods. Swap to a stick trans first, [u]then[/u] do engine mods. engine mods + stock auto trans = crappy driveability |

I agree. Delta Cams are Re-grind though. They only charge like 75 a Camshaft. I have heard alot of negative ish about reground cams of here though. But im sure they would put a disclamer on the delta site if there was a real serious danger.....Wont they? And Snot Rod, Yeah ill finish the Tranny first. |
There's nothing wrong with regrinds.
