Interesting!  I know I replaced half shafts some time ago but the vibration did not go away .... I bet I have the same problem!    :)

Tose aftermarket half shafts I used still had some vibration under acceleration.  When I went back to OEM, the vibration disappeared.

I get some vibration in the 30-70km/h range under light acceleration too, thought it was a wheel but its something else as well.

That is almost certainly the inner CV joint bearing surface getting rough.  Here is a cheap fix: http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/241367-axle-bucket-inner-cv-joint-swap-diy-with-pics/

I have a socket for the read axle nut if you want to borrow it.

Thanks, I will probably tackle it over winter while we tear the car down and refresh a lot of things.
