FS: AE86 Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft

SOLD
I have a practically brand new one piece carbon fiber drive shaft for the AE86 for sale. I just bought this off of Gaijin Rokurunner and it is extremely nice. However, Gaijin Rokurunner and I have come to the conclusion that it will not work with my 5.375 final drive because of the very high drive shaft RPM's that I am turning. My car works just fine with a two piece since the critical speed for the drive shaft is increased when separated into two sections but despite this one piece being carbon fiber the critical speed is still lower than a steel two piece. I was able to get my true joint angles down to 1.6 degrees but I still had a very minor vibration at 80 MPH and up. Gaijin Rokurunner and I are betting that this one piece will work great for anyone with a 4.77 final drive or lower. Since this is still practically brand new and there is a bit of a wait for these I'm asking $700 shipped + 2.9% for paypal fees. The fee can easily be eliminated if the money is sent as a gift from a bank account. This is the same deal that Gaijin Rokurunner is doing minus $75 and the wait on production, so a savings of about 10% and immediate shipping. This shaft has less than 50 miles on it and the paint that's missing in the pictures was like that when I got it. In addition, I have confirmed that Gaijin Rokurunner will honor his original warranty on this product. This carbon fiber one piece is a very high quality product and in my opinion is the very best option to choose from when selecting an aftermarket drive shaft for the AE86.
