Up for sale is my old driveshaft - made about a year ago out of 2.5" OD x.065" (IIRC) steel with OEM flanges and universals professionally welded on an balanced. I'd estimate it weighs ~half of what an OEM driveshaft weighs, due to the thin-wall tubing and no center universal crap, but I don't have a scale so it's all academic. Anyway, this thing rocks - SR, KA, CA, RB20, it'll work for them all!

As you can see, it's in good shape (plz excuse the messy garage corner). Universals are still good, no scoring on the yoke. It sits about 3/4" back from the trans seal, since the old-school driveshaft shop left extra room for rear axle movement - didn't know the driveshaft was going on a IRS car - this means it might fit an ABS car too, you're welcome to test fit!
I've used it for a year and about 5000mi, beat it up in the canyons and at WSIR, etc. It's definitely good, but it's of no use to me anymore since I went RB25 (new yoke means new universals, new universals mean new flanges, might as well buy new tubing too).
$180 picked up in the 626. Shipping is available at buyer's expense.
