My ED has the alloy d/shaft also.

so it must be the EB's that have the mild steel jobbies then...

After my experience with a tail shaft comming loose at 100kph I would never take my car past the factory speed limiter without a two piece shaft.

Well theoretically (because speeding is bad mmmkay!!!), I'd say around 225-230 depending on how it pulls in 4th. I say this because I had this funny dream once upon a time ;) where an EF 5-spd (that had 3.45's though) got to around 225 easily with a bit more left in it, maybe another 5-10 kays. I dreamt also that the driver only slowed down because it was revving at around ~4500-4800rpm! Good thing it was only a dream hehe...
