Hahaha thanks man

[AusScare]

Drive shaft?

Sorry I meant half shafts, joining rear diff and hubs. Are you looking at catuned, DSS or PPM?

[jalopi]

half shafts tends to be a euro definition for what 'muricans call axles

Maybe I'm crazy but I don't think many sanctioned racing bodies are going to allow you to run your fuel lines through the cabin. SCCA requires a firewall. Not to mention I don't know why you'd want to in the first place, seems sketchy....

Otherwise great work, really nice welds.

lol +1, didn't even notice that the first time around.

i think SOME will allow hardline in the passenger compartment, but only hardline and only if there aren't any junctions (i.e. fittings) in the passenger compartment

Gentlemen, those lines are enough to feed a jumbo 747 and I don't have that kind of money or power. Those are water lines. Water to air intercooler. Have a heat exchanger core, and water tank on the back to balance out some weight :)

And I haven't thought about axles yet :/ you guys wanna share some knowledge?

[jalopi]

lol that makes more sense

apparently CA tuned makes axles that are beefier than OE ones, but they don't give out power capacities for their axles... so yeah.

driveshaftshop makes axles that they rate to 700hp, though they'll run you $1700. FWIW, i've talked to one guy at the track who broke a DSS axle on his miata which had about 75% of their max power rating, which IMO is one too many breakages for axles that cost damn near two grand

go get yourself some junkyard axles while you still can so you can have cheap & easy disposable replacements. either that or do what another member did and convert to something like a c4 corvette rear

[Old city bimmer]

bad ass build

[danval]

Thank you guys!!
