Yes I will be fitting the stronger one's. Are the stronger CV's available in Aust or do I have to go through the U.S. sources? I have found two in the U.S. but none in Aust.

Thaanks kam, will do. There was someone else who supplies CV's with upgraded axles which look like a wise investment if your hunting a big power car. The top end set was for over 800ps at cost of $1800 U.S. Its not in my ballpark for power or price, but good to know if you decide to go down this path. I will find the link in the next few days

Should've just bought the CRW kit. Costs a LOT less than that & will handle 1.5sec 60 footers @ the strip. MUCH cheaper than $1800 US.

those axles are from "the driveshaft shop" in america correct? those were broken on "Talent" from americas drag car. he then went back to the CRW upgrade that we have been talking about.
basically those upgrades weren't made very well.

wow just been having a proper read through your build thread from the start. there has been so much work go into this. shame i missed seeing you at time attack. sure i will see it around soon though. makes my plans look very small but gotta start somewhere i suppose? hope to get some pointers with my build sometime and can do some carbon work for you when /if you need any done. a bonnet skin would be quite easy to do. have a dash mould for a commodore that could be modded for the SW too will check sizes.

Hey surok, no disrespect meant at all but could you please add a bit of explanation to your pics when you post them. I'm sure the intended audience probably knows what they're about but TBH I looked at your pic a few posts above and had no idea what the relevance of it is.

thats ok, that picture is a photo of the rear suspension of an MR2, and the owner has modified the top mount to add camber adjustment.
which is very very exciting, because currently the only ways to get rear camber adjustment are..
crash/eccentric bolts ...which are crap
toda DA and up coilover kits come with rear camber adjustment on the upper mount.
old tein HT tarmac coilovers had rear adjustable upper mounts too..
or making your own..
which is what i have a photo of above..

Yep, they are the ones kam. Thanks for the information on the shafts as the more information the better. I will then stick with the CRW upgrade. Thanks

I know I did get a litte carried away but had the opportunity to tick plenty of boxes before it hit the track as well as add a few boxes as its track only. It didnt take all that long to complete and would have taken a lot less if I had a decent workshop and prior knowledge and proceedures in race car build ups. One thing for sure is the amount of information/knowledge I have learnt on the way. I would like to do another bigger and better but will finish this one first. I would have liked to use CF but there are budget constraints was well as time in understanding and perfecting the processes but Im happy to talk with you about some future projects for the car. cheers Steve
