Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/p...oducts_id/9397

Is there a difference in length or mounting between an s4 and an s5?

Mazdatrix lists 4 different driveshafts for the FC, one for an S4 non-turbo, one for an S5 non-turbo, one for automatics, and one for Turbos.

I'd hazard the guess that it's a turbo driveshaft, in which case it should be the same for S4 and S5, but it'll only fit if you've got the TII tranny and diff.

Unless you are doing some serous compeditive racing (with lots of prize money involved) that seems like a total waste of money. If you want a light drive shaft you can pay less-than half that for an aluminum one from mazdatrix.

Thanks!
I suppose the only way to really find out would be to inquire at the source...

The page doesn't say anythign about whether it's for the N/A or TII.

Why would you buy something that rivals the value of your car?

Why buy through a 3rd party vendor when you can go direct to the source...

It doesn't matter if it's turbo or non-turbo.
They custom make them for each order.
