WTB: 2nd Gen NA Driveshaft

Whats up everybody. I need a driveshaft for an NA, Manual, 2nd gen rx7. My u-joint is going out and I might just repleace the u-joint but if anyone has a driveshaft lying around and wouldn't mind selling it please let me know. I need to fix it quick cause it's causing lots of problems right now. I asked some folks at rotorfest but no luck. If you can help a guy out that'd be great, thanks

-Alex

I'm in Atlantic City, NJ. I was just in D.C. two days ago! I dont know if I want to drive it that far with how bad it is. I was right next to silver spring too. I was hanging out in rockville a lot from july 4th-9th. Hmm I wonder how much shipping would be cause I'm having a hard time finding the part I need, but let me look around here for a bit and I'll get back to you for sure. Thanks man

The drive shaft is actually up in harford county at exit 80. Bel Air, MD, it's about 1.5 hrs closer.

Anybody else closer to NJ? I might take this man up on his offer, but would like to avoid driving so far on a bad u-joint.

I've got one. I'm in Poughkeepsie NY, 12603.

Roen is actually closer, by a little over an hour. But it's off the car, so I'm throwin it out there. Either way, good luck!

Hmm well I got lucky and found two at this place in berlin, NJ which is like 40mins from me. I'm going to try and pick it up saturday so hopefully they both look good. I'm afraid to drive the car too far right now cause it's in pretty bad shape. I haven't driven the car over 45mph since after rotorfest. When going to rotorfest I was keeping my fingers crossed the whole time it would stay together when trying to following those damn FD's.....freakin FD's!!!

But thanks for looking out guys, I appreciate the help. It is much harder to find parts here than Cali that's for sure. I'm not used to going online for parts, just a local pick-n-pull. Gotta bring some parts here!

Yeah for sure. I have only seen 3 rx7's in junkyards. 2 were in the parking lot and 1 fd was in the yard but there was nothing left. The stupid junkyard guy sat the car on its rims which were some nice gram lites.

Well I got lucky and this parts place had a spare one. Wasn't the prettiest of the bunch but I swapped it out right there in their parking lot lol. They old u-joint looked terrible. Looked like it was about to pop out any minute now. I'm just happy I got around safely. Now I am ready for the drift event at englishtown raceway in a couple weeks. Hopefully this driveshaft will hold up lol

Thanks again for lookin out guys.
