Propeller Shaft Dynamically BALANCED
14th Jan 2014 (versus last update 10 years ago)
Finally the 2 pieces type is chuck away, and my dream of the 1 straight piece is used PERMANENTLY. It cost Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 50 and took around 15 mins to be balanced. 1080p videos at bottom or youtube link 720p.

Vibrations are completely gone. Finally enjoy less lost of engine power transfer to the rear axle. I could feel the enormous regain of horse power and torque and most importantly to my new experience of INSTANTANEOUS power delivery, NO LAG. Fuel economy also improved. The old 2 pieces type must have worn out in the mid-point.
The engine is still NOT pointing straight to the rear axle 100% because rear axle head is off-set and the engine is sitting in the middle (taboo), because I didn't use ORIGINAL AE86 mounting. Currently custom mounts are used. I can't imagine how much more torque & horse power can be regained after it is all straighten. Dream dream dream !!!!

There's an undeniable lingering feeling, hence I've got to say this.
