There is a guy in aus that can get you better diffs for the FB axles. I got mine from him, £600 landed to my door iirc. Mini tubs would be far cooler than full tubs, cheaper tyres too and street legal

[Brett]

Cool - might have to make some custom hubs as I quite like my Slotties... (Or find some that are 5x114)

[Grant Monkhouse]

Aren\'t FB drive shafts 4 stud anyway? If not just get them welded up and re drilled. Easy done. That\'s what iv done to mine

if a fb axle fits easiest for a upgrade would be get the Re Speed moser billet axles in 5 stud.. thats what ive got in my new project and they are apparently good for 6-700hp... Or then again i think Tim from rx motors has a stock diff but with a OS Giken lsd centre..

[Brett]

It\'s all sounding good... I\'m thinking of getting a few axles together and seeing what looks like the least hassle approach

Do you have a link for the re speed website?

Went to the Kingsfold Rally this weekend - and put the Montrose on display for the Saturday  Also took a video of it when I got home...check out the new Black and silver plates :Giggle

I like the juxtapose of the slot mags, the panama hat and the BRAP!

[Brett]

Just a shame that a good 50% of the classic car owners there were falling over themselves to look down their nose at me! (The engine drivers, steam boys etc were all pretty positive about it though)

[Will66]

They\'d probably have done it anyway, the BL fanbois would have thought it was a nasty japanese thing that ruined BL because it was less rubbish than their cars.  The classic European types would have been all butthurt because it wasn\'t throwing electrical tantrums every 10 minutes and the American fans wouldn\'t have understood the lack of V8.

During the parade I was sandwiched between a Maxi and a Reliant 3 wheeler!

A maxi?? Eeewwww. Or am I thinking of the wrong maxi?

[Will66]

I think he means an Austin Maxi.  The brap of the rotary would have made an interesting difference from the tappety clatter of the Maxi\'s A Series and the crummy thrum of the Reliant.

[Grant Monkhouse]

Ok I was thinking of the maxi that women use. Lol. Eeeww

[Will66]

The Austin Maxi is as grim to be honest. Horrendous BL turd of a machine.

[Brett]

None of them wanted to race for slips :Giggle
