thanks mike do you happen to know what need to be done to it? i think its 60mm taken out of the back but i'm not sure...

[Mike Rainbird]

No idea, but I'll bet they have done it before - drop them a line .

If you get stuck, Jacko996 on PF has done it .

ok mike ive just pm'd him, mike what diff did you run on your old 2wd we were taking about what power did you have a could you lanch it?

cheers

2wd is all one piece so you need to cut 60mm out the rear section.

[dom123]

all in one piece? it does have a hinge in the middle mate..

[luca]

Agreed but its still one unit, so make sure they cut out the right end

[dom123]

ok cool do you mean 60mm off the bit that the diff bolts too? that endof the prop?

cheers

I ran a Quaife ATB, but if you are going to do LOTS of lauching, you need either a Ford Motorsport 9" or a Jag diff (like Rod's). The reason being, that although the Quaife gets rid of the pants OE planet gears (which shit themselves regularly above 400bhp with standing starts), it still uses the OE CWP, which WILL break eventually (just not as readily as the planet gears).

Dom, I have made a few calls, I can get this done for £30+ VAT, might be a bit more, but £30 is what I have been quoted, so if I can help you out let me know Might be able to arrange and exchange prop if you want, save you posting yours up
