Nah the brembo's are all still in there,and yes the rear end has all been beefed up with a R180 conversion and stronger cv's, driveshafts, much bigger whiteline control arms and bigger main shaft to handle being in rwd and not break as easy. i just have to find some 17's that will clear the breaks and sort out some semi slicks or something later on when i have some money saved.

Im a bit confused on how the rwd lever works. Is it like your ordinary 4wd like a landcruiser or is it some setup that only works with an auto box?

It only works with the auto gearbox i have in there,its just a switch that disengages the front shaft electronically. I still try and work out how it works but it does lol.
Found that out when i didnt know it was in rwd at first (because the on off was the wrong way round) and it went sideways nicely to my suprise but caught it!!!! switched it over and felt how nicely it accelerates in 4wd:-)

Does anybody have any links to a rundown or diagram of these gearboxes? Sounds pretty interesting.

Havnt really had any real bites yet on anyone interested in the car, does anyone have a set of rims (PCD 5 x 100) with drag radials that will clear brembos that they might wanna lend someone......;-) Next time im back from work i wanna give it a go on the strip.
Went through 5 different types of spark plugs on the car trying to find the best and finally found the right ones last week!!!! NGK BKR8E-11 copper. Ive tried 6's, 7's, 10's but the coldest copper ones i could find (which i ordered off ebay) work amazing.
Could feel the power loss with some of the other ones i tried aswell as really hard to start the car. These ones pretty much fire it up straight away, Just a bugger that they are hard to get, found a shop over east that can get them so i ordered 2 sets for back up :-) Have got a nice Earls oil cooler to go in too next time im home, just hard trying to find some space!

Create enough fuss and you may sell it on the night!
Let us all know when you will take it down
