I didn't read the whole thread, but in my opinion getting rid of the absolutely world class FD3 independent rear in favor of a solid axle verges on criminal.

Its going to be basically a drag car from what I gathered, not a huge deal IMO.

World class on who's standard. Anything that grenades itself is far from world class. Its not a drag only car. I am building to just have fun and learn things along the way. Using it to test out some ideas I had.

Most recent shot of the motor. Just swapped out wastegates to the turbonetics newgen wastgate which features a large inconel swing valve style internal valve instead of your typical tial style. Capable of controling over 1000hp.

Swapped rear axle for a cobra irs
Few more....hope to get it done this week
