I have a s2000, 2000 year, and the propeller shaft is totally worn and needs replacement. The part is 1600 dollars. Is there any cheaper option that using the Honda manufacturer for that part?

If not, anyone want to buy the original s2000 with the 9000 rpm red line? Only problem is the damn right, rear propeller shaft.
