LADA's RWD then?

[Titsy]

nope, but it would be worth the effort.....

[55starchief]

Would it not be easier to say get an old volvo 240 as they were already rear wheel drive

And they also have a very sturdy rear axle.

We used them in the sprint cars, and were easily holding up under 360ci racing in 3rd gear.

yup, the riva is.... and they have an INCREDIBLY strong diff too....



a mate of mine from way back (now living in france) put a rover V8 in one, then cut the roof off....

engine bay is suprisingly short though, Carl ended up putting the radiator in the boot, and having some interesting ducting and vents!
