Spoke with Arlene at PST yesterday and she told me my new Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft is shipping out. Should be here by Wednesday of next week. Ahh. A new toy to play with. Bye bye carrier bearings.

Awesome news. I'm sure as you know, you wont be disappointed. I've been in a few cars with lightweight driveshafts and its a very noticable mod.  _________________ ~Joe - aka spider gear destroyer

Yes. In my garage or driveway... Probably driveway since it'll have more sunlight and be easier to see things from underneath the car.
If you want to come out and watch us install it, that works for me. Maybe if we get a few people I'll cook up burgers on the grill or something.

PST Carbon Fiber Dive Shaft is now installed as of Saturday. So far so good. I believe I need to try rotating it once though as I get a bit of vibration at high speeds. Few other owners have stated you can get rid of it by dropping the shaft, and installing in different bolt configurations. I'll give it a shot.
Install was easy... Matt (ver fer) came down to lend a hand with the DS and help me unload a truckload of wood. Appreciate it Matt. Next time you're down here I'll buy ya a case of beer.

Jesse.. Did you notice any difference with the driveshaft?? Like, acceleration or performance?
I was considering getting one a while back but decided to leave my car alone..
