AMS introduces Carbon Fiber Driveshafts
AMS has teamed up with Torqline CTG / EVO 400 to offer the Stateside EVO VIII owners a sollution for broken Axles and Rear differentials. Carbon Fiber Drive shafts have been used for years in the pro sport compact and road race world. Torqeline supplies driveshafts for such automotive series as:
Japanese GT Championship
American Le Mans Series
FIA GT Championship
FIA Hillclimb Championship
Le Mans 24 Hours
French GT Championship
Running a carbon fiber driveshaft allows the load bearing on the rear differential to be lessened. By using carbon fiber the driveshaft is allowed to flex to take some of the inital shock away from the rear end of the car. Not to mention you are taking away an extreme amount of rotating mass. Its ability to flex allows it to store interia and energy.
Mitsubishi Evo 7 & 8 TORQline CS composite propshaft
• Single piece propshaft replacing 2 rear pieces of standard
shaft
• Eliminates centre bearing
• Failure load in excess of 3000Nm
• Approximate mass 3.75 Kg (thats 8.26 Pounds...good GOD!)
• Utilising a 1300 series Heavy duty sealed for life
Universal Joint
• High performance steel, machined from billet,
Universal Joint yokes and mid ship stub.
do we believe in this product? we have on on the way right now for the worlds fastest EVO VIII.
The guys at Torqline CTG are wizards at the buisness. They have taken propshaft design to new heights. Just take a look at there design process. http://www.torqline.com/technical.php
Now for price.
The EVO VII and EVO VIII units are priced at $2100 usd plus shipping. please keep in mind these are coming from the UK. break one Rear diff and you will realize how inexpensive this piece actually is.
Typical turnaround time for these are about 3-4 weeks. If I get 10 ordered I will be able to knock an additional $100 off the price and I am sure shipping will be lessened greatly.
Now lets here some feedback.

alot, my guess 25-30 pounds.. or more.. this is a mod you will notice.. it does what a freeflowing exhaust does for spool, this does for higher trap speeds, anyone running over 600 horse and has the money this is a great mod.. i used to have one on my 91 trans am g.t.a. pricey..

carbon shafts are so awesome I had one in my race car...........I broke it,but that doesn't matter . Carbon doesn't promote tire shake like the aluminum ones do.

On my old 95 Z28 i went from steel to alum and could feel the difference in pull and that drive shaft is about half the lenght with no center bearing already. You have to think every one is worried about rotating mass. the drive shaft spins 4x faster than your wheels and tires.
