2 piece E shaft

Where can I get one and how much trouble is it to install? Second question is does anybody have a 79 or 80 bumper front or rear? Third question for the guys that have wide body kits and are running 9" 10" or wider tires. Did you change the roters and lug patterns or keep the mazda 4 lug pattern and what rims did you use with your choices? thanks in advance.

What are you trying to achieve with your engine? You don't just put a 2 piece shaft in for the sake of it.

Agreed. The stock shaft is good for just about anything. The only reason a 2 piece one would be needed is for a very serious race engine.

Yeah, or a 4-rotor to make assembly easier (since you have to get a custom shaft made anyway)

Im doing the rebuild now and i figured since I have it ripped down I would plan for the future. The engine is getting SP intake and race ported exhaust with a t4 .70 ar turbo. for the time being but I figured it would be a good Idea to do this mod just for added strength.

Well, they're not cheap. You also need to add the cost of machining the centre plate for the bearing to that price.

Unless you're building a serious race engine your money would best be spent elsewhere.
