Bought this with a blown engine to build as a trailor queen track toy.
Really aiming to make it a pretty universal car to be used for trackdays, sprints, rallying, drift and anything else i can have ago at.

Currently mid build.

Ah - 'tis Jungle-Jim's old car ( http://forums.twobrutal.com/showthread.php?t=8396 ). Glad you're fettling it so it will be seen on track again

Welded diff! Would love to know how that feels, let us know.

ahh spotted, going to have to start making it look less like jims old car soon and more like mine
I've had quite a bit of stick about the welded diff here and there so far (understandably!), so i'm looking forward to getting it track worthy and testing it out

Yup I recognised that car too... Was hoping to get it myself but the fates wouldn't allow... Congrats. As Mart said, it'd be great to see it on track again as it's now a full-on track beasty. And I too would be interested to hear what it's like with that diff!
Nice one though! Keep us updated!

It's just a load of niggling little things i'm fixing at the mo.
Today... set timing, idle and fixed a coolant leak.
Plus bought the 6 piece arch repair kit.


other jobs.
need a new oil seal where the driveshaft goes into the transaxle, fabricate seat subframe and then she should be good to go.

I think it could be quite interesting with a welded diff, look forward to the feedback.

Unless you going to try and drift , a welded diff will be rubbish to drive "normally" round a bend, both wheels will be trying to rotate at the same rate with the welded diff = bad

[tonigmr2]

He knows that I'm sure.
I think it could drift interestingly.
