That's exactly what I thought. Unless Ammo has welding machine and all those tools it could turn out expensive.
Hey I'm not trying to put you off just trying to save you some money. :lol:
Get a S14 (or S15) chassis and put your 4G body over it. :twisted:

lol, yeah it's a stupid project, but I think he went a bit over kill with the grinder

I could do the space frame route then put a lude body over the top, but I couldn't just chop up a S13 chassis and drop the lude body on, these are monocoque shells cutting that much out it would probably fold in the middle

Like I said this is an experiment to see if it can be done

No - Ammo will be buying that separately. From a wee lad in a tracksuit. Locally.

LOL nitin, RWD cars don't have LSD gearbox's they only have one output to the rear wheels

The Diff at the back can have LSD where it splits to the rear wheels, but no it won't have an LSD diff, it will be welded, so both rear wheels spin at the same time, cos it's cheaper than a LSD rear diff :D

Goes by the name of Tyres. Oontz oontz oontz oontz oontz.

And yep, a welded diff. To drift you need to break traction with the rear wheels, and the differential is there to keep as much traction as possible, so by welding it the rear wheels lose traction easier.
