VLs and skylines have been doing it for years and years. as long as the car holds together and I can get some traction, we will see a 10 sec pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Together with the Albins CV's, they should make for a very strong combo. The stock is actually very cheap but there's a fair bit of time required to turn the axles and cut the splines. They will be made in house by Speed Development Group. Don't bother looking them up, they are super exclusive and rather 007 like. I'll be getting them made slightly shorter than the factory axles to compensate for the lower ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these will be development ones for me and as such, will be fitted to my car as an R&D item. We haven't actually sat down and worked the finer details out yet. All I can say is that the axle will be shortened so it is located in a similar position to the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
