They aren't producing it, although they will make you a custom carbon fiber driveshaft using the stocker.

Torqline in the UK makes a driveshaft, but it's über expensive.

I called the place right now they said the same thing the ACPT guy told me it is a one piece driveshaft that the company can make for you. Now this you have to hammer in a certin part of the body to make it fit without hitting.


Yes that is the right price.

You have to send them your stock core ends front and back and its a week or so turn around time its well worth it.

And yes there is a guy with a 05-06 MR that is useing this driveshaft. You want to know more Search and pull up our old thread from i think 05

Since when i talk to the guy over at driveshaft shop a long time ago this was about 6 months after someone said they where going to make one. He said they are not going to make one.

Do you think I am posting erroneous information for the hell of it? The last time I talked to DSS, they said it would be about 2 months and that was 2 months ago.

If you would like more up to date information than that, how about YOU call them up.

ACPT Shaft

I had my shaft made with ACPT and is a one piece CF. It weigh 52lb less then stock. We still have not installed it cause the car is still being built but I can assure you that if you are running A BIG TURBO like I'm going to run it will help with the spool.

Acpt

We have it up on the car just for mocking it up. We need to remove the 2 center cross brackets that hold up the OEM shaft. I will take some pictures of it installed ounce i get the motor in. So far it looks like a good fit with very little mod.
