Uprated Driveshaft Group buy not required 2019!
These can now be ordered as single items, so no need for a group buys!
They are back by! Uprated Heavy Duty Racing Driveshaft!!
Running a high powered Polo? Its only a matter of time before you snap a driveshaft!
Volkswagen Polo Heavy Duty Racing Driveshaft Fits Volkswagen Polo MK1 - Mk2 - MK3 - 86 - 86c - Mk2f from 1975 - 1993
This heavy duty driveshaft is designed for the fast street or race drag Volkswagen
We released the original driveshaft design in 2001 to overcome the breakages experienced when slick tyres / Limited Slip Differentials are used with the standard polo driveshaft. Since then it has been proven to be the choice of drivetrain to deliver reliable high performance results for both fast road and track racing around the world for 18 years!
This unit is manufactured from a single piece of high-grade aircraft quality material and heat cycled to provide a durable tough finish (blue flame glazing).
The driveshaft is compatible with all of the standard polo components and requires no modifications to fit.
These are currently in stock and can be purchased using Paypal by heading to over to `Polo G40 Facebook Page' and PM me

I am in For The Win ;D
Good man ! will PM you shortly
definitely interested, as just got a lsd, if the numbers bump up a bit i should be in
Great news
Any more?
anyone?
i'd be interested. whats the turnaround like?
Hi not enough interest for the time being i'm afraid.
If we can get 10+ buyers the lead time is usually 12 weeks from order.
Regards
Karl- can you tell me where you've sourced these from please? I'm after a single one (not too worried about cost) as a spare, but can't wait for the group buys to happen.
PM me if you want..
I'm interrested. Can you send to Belgium?
Im in! PM me please.
Interested parties please PM me directly , I'm currently gathering interested for this group buy. Fingers crossed we should be in a position to order soon
Yoof , I should have an uprated driveshaft knocking about from my car I dismantled if you are interested... I just need to locate it. Otherwise you could jump on the GB if you want a new one.
List updated , only need 4 more to make this happen!
3 more!
Have you counted me in?
Yep your name is on the list :)
Too late to add me to the list?
and me
Will put you both down
1 more to go!!
sweet
I'll have one. I know full well I'll need one as soon as I can't get one so add me! Can I pay sooner rather than later though, I don't like having to wait months and forgetting about surprise bills, lol.
good stuff , your names down!
Thats the 10 we need , anybody else before I seal this deal?
Right I spoke to my supplier regarding these the tail end of last year and the price had increased due to the manufacturing process.
The shafts are now made from an even stronger grade of steel , this in return has pushed the price up.
I've tried my best to haggle the price down however its the cheapest I can get. Standard price for these are 250-300 each inc VAT
The new revised price is on the first page.
If you'd still like to go ahead please PM me or reply to this thread.
is it too late to buy a new one of these??
^what he said?
I've updated my orginal post including prices.... , we now do not need minimun numbers to order!
PM me if you would like to order one of these
Much appreciated
Karl
Order has been placed for those who have paid , please contact me immediately if you want to be included in this batch.
I need know by 25th Jan at midday at the very latest.
Regards
Karl
Anyone else?
Id take one if I can still get one? Pm sent

Any news on these?
Almost there , currently in heat treatment.. watch this space!
I now have some new spare uprated driveshafts in stock for immediate delivery !
Still got any of these?
Yes Pm'd
I'm interested in a set if you have still got some ?
Mihgt have some knocking about , I'll check
Hi,
I'll have an uprated drive shaft - if available? How much and what delivery please?
Thanks
Ok that's great pm me if you have any luck thanks
Hi im after one of your drive shafts if you have any left,
Cheers
Mark
Hi Karl,
I've just joined the forum so coming a bit late to this. I'm very interested in an uprated driveshaft - are you still able to source these?
thanks
Kinda snapped my drivshaft at santa pod today so will be needing one of these
Are they still available?
Rich - I have a spare with 2 CV joints already on if you want.
Call it £187 delivered :)
Hi
Did you sell that driveshaft, which side is it as I will have it for that price.
Andy
Looks like we need to find someone to make another batch up ;)
What company made these?
I would be interested, its just belts and braces to help in any case.
If we can't get that answer then could just get a new batch made from somewhere else.
Looking at the cost of Quaife shafts for other cars I could prob. see about getting a batch of 10-20 made.
I'd be in for this
I've got a standard shaft I can send them but it'd be nice to have an uprated one to send too.
I'll get a min order on Monday. Then depending on that and cost I might be able to get them without a group buy.
Ok so I've been in contact with two suppliers. Drive shaft is in the post to one and the other has provided a price. Cheaper than the individual price on the first page by some way, with a 'life time' warranty and made with a very high grade of heat treated steel.
Once I have prices from both I'll see about getting a batch made.
cool! :)
Any word on these?
First one is looking like £250 region, but is mega spec. F1 grade material. Prob. a little OTT.
Sent shaft to Quaife the other day, so expecting something more sensible from them. Ideally want the number 1 at the start of the price.
How long until you know, and how long until they are made? I'm coming close to the time where I'd need the driveshaft. I'd pay the £250 for that one haha.
Adrian
We're talking weeks into months, not days into weeks. There would need to be a window for manufacturing. Hope to get an answer from Quaife in next two-three weeks.
I'm interested in one of these too, as the original driveshaft mated to the 843cc donkey might not be up for constant hard - launches even though power delivery is a little less harsh on turbo motors.
I will need one also :)
I'd be very interested in one of these, too.
Tony
also interested here, will keep my eye on this but a pm would be nice 8)
I'm still on it. Just been busy with work. Oil and gas never stops!
Will endeavour to get something sorted in June.
Option 1
Ok can confirm I can get a proper motorsport spec. shaft made from S155 with a life time warranty for £260 inc. VAT. These would normally be £370. So quite a discount! Min order is 10, so £2700.
Option 2
Will update in future with Quaife price.

Option 3Found a cheaper supplier of S155 spec. shafts. Talking with them.
Had a few people ask me about these recently so I had a word with one of my suppliers who can do a S155 toughened shaft for about £100, MOQ of 10 and a 45 day lead time. 3 or 4 gone so far, don't mind sorting this out.
Count me in Phil :)
You know I want one lol!
When Phil got in touch with the price I decided to hold off on announcing anything Quaife related.
I'm in.
I'm still on this!
Put me down for one please :)
I'm still in for this, too, thanks
Could be interested in these.
Am I too late? I'm in if possible
Im in if possible phil??
Ok what's the current plan of action with this? I have replied and tried pm'ing people but no responses......
Dub-diaster has a uprated driveshaft for sale if anyone is after one soon?
Bringing up an old topic but anyone in for this? Or have one for sale
Help please! Drive shaft broke today. Does anyone have a new or used uprated one for sale please?
Thanks
I could do with one too. Doubt my shafts would last too long otherwise. Any way to do another group buy?
i'd be interested
Potentially. Dependant on price.

Might be best to just delete this then put a new thread on when there's something available, 6 pages and 5 years old now! :o
I was just trying to be neat and tidy 😂
Would this help? http://berrisford.co.uk/index.php/driveshafts/custom-made-driveshaft-any-spline-any-length.html
Any one have the specs for the uprated driveshaft people use pretty please?
Im surprised this post is still alive!
I could possibly look into sourcing these again however the prices will mostly likey be high.
I would be interested if you could get a price please :)
I'll investigate this again in the new year
Brilliant. Looking forward to an update.
Me too.
Does anyone have a stock driveshaft spare that I can loan / borrow to use for the tooling... I thought I had a spare but I think it got binned. Im in Hertfordshire if anyone is local.
Thanks
Not sure if I do but I will have a check and see and get back to you.

Thanks , I've sorted one now
A little feed back on the shafts. Work prefect for me but I did add a stop to each end so you could use the concave washers to stop the joint moving on the shaft. Mine had a lot of movement before and actually produced a noise due to the inner cerclip knocking against the joint over bumps where it was able to float on the spline. But nothing a few hours couldn't fix though 🙂

The lastest v2 design uses the stock seat on an end and is working well.

Ordered one yesterday so will hopefully be able to give some feedback soon.
anymore Feedback on these Drivshaft? Looking at getting one.
Head over to the facebook page for the latest info
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1168111519875411/
Any updates for the v1 shafts ? I've just come to use mine after a good few years of storage and I now need to get it welded and machined to fit as Ryan mentions above. So not a straight fit 🙄
Also your site mk1polo.com seem unaccessible?
