Aftermarket driveshaft 4 sale locally?
I was just wondering if anyone close had an aftermarket (not OEM) drive shaft with the greasable u-joints for sale. I'm starting to get that vibration at high speeds and I would like to buy a new one before it completely goes out. I can get that one from MazdaTrix, but if I can support someone locally that would be great...........
*patiently waits for Mireck or Higgi to respond*...lol, I know one of you guys has a good aftermarket driveshaft for the 'ol Kronster right????

Ok so my next question is have you guys (the people who post in this fourm maybe with an APO box..) ordered anything from Mazdatrix and if so what were your shipping cost like(i.e. horrible, not so bad, cheap as hell...)? Also how was thier customer service (if any)? Just from reading some of the disclaimers and whatnot I get the impression that they A.) Make lots of money and can afford to treat the customer as if they we're an idiot and/or a bother for them to deal with...or ...B.) A whole slew of morons have ordered stuff from them and they're a little sore about it. Anyway they seem to have most of the OEM stuff I'm looking for (pilot bearings, assorted seals, etc.). If anyone has any alternitives to Mazdatrix please let me know. Oh also...As far as getting a local shop to make me one (driveshaft) around here...I'm new to the area and I'm sure there is a competent shop that can make me one, however, I don't know where they are and I already don't trust them so I'm trying to order one that won't break a month down the road. Mazdatrix seems to be the only place to get a good one, prebalanced with greaseable u-joints.

OBEY YOUR MAZDA
I've bought alot of parts from Mazdatrix and never had any problems with them.
Just remember that importing parts from a non-EU country into an EU country automatically triggers an import tax

and you will be faced to customs taxes as you know it
but
if it will be shipped to APO address at US base in Germany, it will be
Express Mail® Military Mail $56.35
Priority Mail® Military Mail $22.30
AND no customs/taxes on it, as its being shipped from USA to US base
Guys at bases does not have problems to hand it out of the base usually

Thanks Higgi and Kim. I was just trying to get a feel for their shipping costs. A lot of places I've found wont ship to APO's for some reason or another or they charge outragous shipping prices. For example...I was going to order a new front fender for my car. I wanted an lighter aftermarket fender..no problem right? Well, I found plenty of places that had reasonable prices and either a.) they wouldn't ship to APO/FPO's or b.) They wanted $500 to ship a $100 fender! I told them that shipping to an APO is just like shipping to New York, but they didn't care. I personally talked to the guys at Cork Sport and they were super cool. They took their time with me and made sure that I got what I wanted and that there would be no crazy shipping charges. He even took the time to answer some of my questions about several different parts. The only problem is that they don't have AM driveshafts . Has anyone actually read any of the stuff I was talking about on the Mazdatrix site? Was that just me? I don't know..I'm in retail and I'm friggin nice to everyone, even the ******* because their money spends just as well as that nice guys. I tend to do buisness with people that feel the same way....you know like someone that acutally wants to sell something to me. Maybe I'm just reading to much into it???

I have had problems with USPS and not being able to ship too big items (even radiator was too big).
If you have issues with mazdatrix shipping directly to you, have someone in USA who will 're-ship' it. Basically mazdatrix ships to some US address and then friend will ship it to you at APO.
Its one extra shipping within states, but it saves trouble and money, compared to normal international shipping charges and taxes.

OMG There he is..... I was wonderin if your girl had you by the short and curlys or what Grease LOL!. Long time no post. Well....I guess I'll just have to order from Mazdatrix then because I don't see any other alternitive. Hey, Grease.....How did you do the shipping? Did you just call them to place the order or do it online and hope for the best since they don't calculate shipping on the web. I just don't wanna get screwed and have some retarded bill on my CC. We need to go cruizin' at some point when we both are not at work. I got 2 of my 4 rims the other day so it won't be long till I'm at least not rollin stock. Does your phone work now btw????
