That would probably be it haha. Supposedly there is a compromise with carbon fiber between harmonics and torsional load. The steeper you lay the fiber the better the harmonics but the flatter you lay it the better the torsional load. I am not an engineer so I am just the messenger.

Two things:
1. We never got a florida car to guinea pig, see my post above. 2. We don't have a donor drive shaft to send, and buying one just for this purpose is expensive. I still really want to do this mod if we can work out the kinks.

Still no response from ACPT. If someone else wants to drop them an email or give them a call, that would be great.

$3600 is waaaay to much for a driveshaft.
Where is the florida shop located? I moved to south florida a few months ago

Well 3600 is the 'round the world price (to japan and back it looks like, with all taxes and fees that this entails, plus a heavy markup I'm sure). I was imagining we'd get it for way less than that by talking to acpt directly.
ACPT is in CA, but the first shop we talked about in FL was PST. Here's their address zstig.

True, however the Guibo disc is to make a street car's shift energy transfer FEEL smoother and less abrupt.
It will fatique and fail quickly with horsepower above its spec'd limits. Or at least cut its life in half. We are essentially looking at the weakest link in the drive-train....which is joints and metal to metal contact point via gears. Something gotta' give and eventually its traction....but in the meantime shit is getting torqued to death. |
