Hmmm alloy is lighter but very hard to check if its still in the car!!
Stockstandard is the part number still visible on the alloy shaft you have in the pic? if so what is it please. |

Our ED came with an alloy tailshaft factory fitted. |

NFI what the part numbers are.
You can tell by the colour. If it has the whitish aluminum colour it is alloy. If it has a dark grey/ rusty colour it is steel.

well years ago when i was stupid and internet access wasnt that poupular, i never knew about the whole tailshaft thing and quite a few times i had my newish EBII well past the speedo, it used to make like a whhh whhh whhh whhh sound and a ever so slight shudder.

At higher speeds the alloy taishaft has a lower centrifugal tolerance (not a bad thing) meaning that it runs more centrally and true then the steel one because of its flex, meaning less vibration and less strain on uni's.
Steel are still very good, I dont think there is a difference on real world passenger vehicles but i wouldnt go chasing up an alloy tailshaft unless mine was bunged.

Whats the weight saving going up to an alloy shaft. Sounds interesting?

SFA The alloy shaft feels a little lighter to hold, but because the shaft has a bigger diameter the weight is further from the centerline which will probably negate the weight saving.

would a alloy tailshaft make your car go a bit harder, or is it only for high speeds

Nope. Any saving on weight is negligable at best. The force required to spin the shaft wouldnt be measurable at all in any way and really is a waste of time as a performance upgrade.
