Anyone know a good place to buy some drive shafts I think mine are on the way out

kaneda - got some from an ebay seller, solid instead of tubular (so thinner) but cost about $300 landed for both sides vs a couple of grand from the stealers.
2 year warrantee, send them a message and they will make sure you get the right ones, found them very good to deal with (I have no affiliation with them whatsoever...), landed in Aus within a week
I have yet to fit them.

I'd ask Jmac, he got me a reconditioned oem passenger side one for $185, you just need to return your cores. If you do go after market raxles have a solid rep.

I've been putting in a good few hours over the past few days.. Starter motor removal clean and recondition, new FMIC intercooler install incl bumper trimming, brand new OEM Votex front valance... going for paint and touch ups next week..

So many photos during the processes, I'll do some writeups when I get the chance, or maybe I'll even get around to starting my build thread one day with all these photos..

FMIC, mostly in, before adjustments:

Starter Motor, Mid-Way:

Today, with it all working and back together (minus emblem grill that I'm deciding colour on, and lower grills that don't fit back in by a few mm.. ) :

Genuine Votex grill only just out of the box and plastic wrap, still in primer and in pristine cond if anyone wants to make an offer..

Also, there seemed to be a LOT of oil that came out of the old Intercooler... Is this too much? Or is it just build up from over 10 years? Judging from the colour, it's been there quite a while..
