How are your drive shafts done, half a mini shaft welded to half a vaux shaft?

Thats interesting, non mini bottom arms and hubs. Intresting subframe too. Is it actually welded to the body work?

[mini_kel]

This is using homemade wishbone bottom arms,rose jointed of course and VX coilovers and hubs so u only need to shorten driveshalfts

Just rang Boggbros about an inlet manifold and it`s a months wait and will make me £200 lighter in my pocket!!!

Think i may be fabricating one myself

Its easy done.

Just need a flange laser cut and some correct size exhaust pipe.

When i made mine the hardest part about using bike throttle bodies was sorting the throttle linkage to get full travel on the pedal.

Heres what i did
