Midas kit car RWD project

[miniswift]

Hi,

I mocked up what it will look like so that I can measure what I need to do.



Then I thought I have a go taking a prop shaft out.
In the end, I cut it up and smacked with my Copper hammer for about 30 min using socket set extensions.
End result!



I measured that position of the rear prop shaft is 158mm from the flange to the gearbox.
I can dry fit them and see how much I need to cut but I either have to cut Suzuki splines to the prop shaft or weld my spare input shaft onto this prop.

Nice one, It came out eventually then

I'll bring those linkages round at some point this week, as i said I'll give you a text when I know when I'm free

I got my LSD made and here is proof!
OK, so my first trial one is made.
Here are photos.









Now, I need a tester who has less than 250Bhp and I will need deposit for me to test it.

If you are interested, let me know as I will be paying it for myself but my car won't be running for ages!

Cheers

Just a thought Atchi, if you're free on the 16th. or 17th. Why not "pop down" and see us all at the
BKV - you would be very welcome.

You are only about 130mls away and Matt (Nimminz) is coming.

Mac.

Hi,

I got those, too.

R1 coil overs.


Then I have those, too. complete MX-5 rear setup.


I will have to shorten drive shaft and mate it to Volvo 360 setup.

I will be starting to make rear subframe to take std MX-5 arms or I even make them also out of CDS tubes.

Cheers

That LSD fit's lovely in the diff case, I'm in need of a gasket from volvo before i can stick it on the gearbox, will keep you in the know.
