Uprated Driveshaft group buy is on May 2010!
In a nut shell if you have an LSD or a powerful car that runs decent tyres on an open diff you'll certainly benefit from one of these. I've been running once since 2001 and never had any issues.
I would need to purchase in batches to 10x to get the advertised price rightso the more merrier , no profit will be made from these at all.
We need 10+ commited people for this group buy to happen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1x Bare (Drivers side) offside uprated driveshaft
Turned from a single piece of steel and heat treated, all the work is carried out by professionals in the trade and holds a material manufactures defect guarantee.
2010 Prices: £145 inc 20% VAT + £10 Postage and Packing
Slight increase over last year price due to increased VAT and raw materials
Over 9+ years of production - with zero failures, Track and Road proven.
I’d like to stress that NO profit is being made from this group buy. To buy these individually cost at least double the amount.
This is a one off group buy Quantity of 10+ are required before we can achieve this price. If we cannot achieve 10+ orders I will offer a full refund to everybody who has paid.
Lead time: Minimum of 6 weeks from order date. (usualally up to 12)
The Group buy will close on July 1st 2011 so that gives people plenty of time to put aside some money (2 pay days away.)
The driveshaft is proving difficult to come by and with the increasing manufacturing costs these will only become more expensive as time passes so get one now while you can!

Payments accepted are: Bank transfers, cash or cheque , PayPal can be accepted but please allow an additional 3.4% + 20 pence on the total for the associated PayPal fee( unless you send as a gift ) .
To secure a driveshaft please PM me , I will then supply you with the credentials to make the payment. I will then add you to the list .
I've enclosed a PDF file which is displayed below for more information. ( you can only see this if you log in
I understand that there are many people "interested" in a the driveshaft , however if you definately want one I'll add you name my orginal post after payment has been made, this way we will know for certain if we have enough paid buyers by the cut off date. It just sorts the people out who are "interested" and 100% commited.
If you are ready to pay please PM me and I will send you the details and once comfirmed cleared i'll add you to the master list.

Some foul the block and chassis on lowered cars. The diesel shaft as far as I’m aware is hollow, Speaking to the driveshaft specialist a solid bar made out of the right material will offer additional strength.
-
the diesel shaft I used to have, while most of it was thicker, still went too thin near the CV joint splines and still had a undercut radius here which is the weak point. Plus it caught on my chassis and even engine block when 60mm low (albeit only really on track days when I had a poor suspension setup with too much body-roll).

count me in

Sorry , I just realised I put the wrong date in for this group buy , the deadline is 1st July 2010 , so the buy is open for another month!
-
i may be in for this aswell now - just found out what hayesey was saying was correct - my diesel shaft fouls the block - going to take the angle grinder to it as its a none important bit - but i will find out soon enough if it works....damn air ride:-(
-
Any more takers on these? Once the the group buy closes thats it!
-
You can put my name down.
-
sorry guys ive got to pull out of the group buy my daily needs work for mot :'(
-
ive sorted my problem with my clearance now - never anything an angle grinder wont fix eh!
BUT - my next project for this car is the engine and when you take into account how crazy my car is - it aint going to be slow. so i will jump in on the group buy and store the shaft for when its needed.
forward think dont you think Karlos.

Hi I'm afraid the interest is low this time around,
I'm happy to hold on to see if we have any more takers, however I’m conscious that I'm receipt of payments.
I have 2 paid members so far I’ll hold this buy open until Friday. If we do not get the numbers I will issue a full refund to those who have paid.
Regards
Karl

These can be made available again , however I invisage a price rise due to VAT increase and cost of materials since the last buy. I will look at prices after the bank holiday and post on here.
-
Spoke to the supplier today , good news is they can still make them , the price they loosely quoted is slightly higher than last year however I'm hoping to get a concrete answer tomm.
Watch this space..
-
Gave the supplier a nudge this morning , hope to have an answer by the end of today re prices

New prices updated :)
