and it sucks

the shop that was going to tig weld in my cage, said that they could build me a CM drive shaft also. well he brought it to me today at work and it looks like crap. i could tig weld better myself, and he does this stuff for a living

so i need a shop that will build me a CM driveshaft and balance. the so called drive shaft that was already built for me was 3.5". i would like to stay with 3.5" if possible. any one know of any reputable shops?

 

i think kandied had one built for not too much money...i'd hit him up, and when he tells you where he got his let me know since i lost that info a while ago and would like to order one shortly. thanks

 

yeah i remember him posting that he got one made after breaking his aluminum shaft....but i cant find the post that he posted the shop number in. i just hope i can get one made before the 15th to race:lala:

 

found a shop in detroit on 26 mile rd that is going to build mine for me.

CCI
586 716 1160

i talked with Mike, he was very helpful and took the time to explain to me what would be best. Its going to take a day to build, and then UPS it to me....all for about $250 including a new slip yoke.

 

i think kandied got his for $150....maybe i'm just losing my marbles not sure.

 

250 sounds about right for what you want. i believe i paid 220 for mine...not sure.

have been very happy with it, mike does great work, he's really friendly and willing to explain things which is nice. highly recommend him. very quick turn around. i've had the car up to 180 with no problems of vibration....good stuff! he supplies alot of the local racers and beyond.

 

 

geez....."just 180" pffffttt......

 

hey, gotta driver her and test her. don't put all those things into the car just for looks.

 

mine was going to be 220 but i decided to go with a new billet slip yoke, and spicer solid u joints that have a life time warrenty so that upped the price a bit, plus the UPS bill

i cant wait to recieve it!

 

yeah you will really like the unit. the billet piece is nice too.

 

got the drive shaft today after ordering it 2 days ago. this drive shaft is awesome looking.

if any one is in need of a new DS that will not break, call up Mike at CCI

 

told ya!

 

150 mph so far with no vibrations:lala:

 

- Do they have salt flats in Mich.? Where are you winding it up to 150 mph at?? That's gotta take up some room to get up to that speed! Just curious.

 

lol....there is a very safe spot to run that high, where the only person in any danger is me, the driver. but its no more dangerous than running at the drag strip or anything else. and we take all of the precautions to make sure absolutly no one else in danger

but i cant really post an exact location on this site

 

lol...some room...are you crazy?



nothing some high speed runs at 4 am with night vision doesn't solve. in under half a minute it's very possible with mine, next time i'll time it.

 

isnt technology great

 

yeah although it's tricky with no lights on....night vision or not.

 

Might have to try these guys next time I need some driveshaft work done. I got the shaft (literally) from Dynotech the last time I dealt with them.
