Mechanic is a good friend of mine, so he's only charging me $100 for the install that will probably take a few hours, but i'm also gonna help with it. You can get brand new shafts online for about 400$-450$

you can replace one in under an hour

On a wonderful night(just like tonight), i was doing some VBox testing with my new NT05s, on a street far far away from people and traffic... Put in a few runs, but wasn't satisfied with the results as i could barely catch traction(even on mild 2nd gear launches, only putting out 18psi). Best time of the night was a measly 4 second 0-60. I decided to burn some rubber in hopes for some better traction. The rest is history

Instead of braking traction, i broke my left half shaft. But it's not all bad news! 20 second after the "BOOM!", an officer of the law rolls up and asks if i was doing illegal street racing! Being an upstanding citizen I had informed him that as a matter of fact no, i was not racing, because to race you need to have 2 vehicles

After a thorough background check, and a walk around my car, the officer of the law had given up, and went on his way wishing me a very "sincere" good night.

So, after doing a little math, i realized that my tooth picks of half shafts had actually saved me quite a bit of money! If I was to get pulled over, i'm sure it would have cost quite a bit more than a few hundred bucks...

Totally forgot why i was making this thread...

What's the best place to get my hands on a left half shaft for an AT e92? Having a hard time finding one online.

Thank You!

Sounds like my LSD is working just great on your car!!
