    im using the original atlas axle but im going to fab up some link bars to keep it central, and save for a lsd, itll handle the power :) maybe a rear disc conversion so i can run a hydro

    update!

    Hi, :) not much to report, had a few set backs, the prop is done, the pedal box has been converted to hydro clutch! reservoir pots have been mounted and i decided to go standalone so that needs wiring. also had to buy new wheels and a new intercooler pretty slow progress atm tbh! I need to pull my finger out so i can get skidding again!
