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.
Cheers
Atchi

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
