I have RWD'd the evo

After 9 years of racing my evo for fun I have finaly
decided to get serious.
The thought came about when we had a few too many beers and i was
pulling out my engine for its annual inspection.
Upon doing so we found a lot of cracks in the sub frame and chassis from
the years of launching it hard.
So the decision came to tube frame it and turn the engine to north south etc
and go to an all out drag set up.
The specs so far are

Chromemoly chassis
4 link strange full floater rear end
9"braced diff(32X15" tire)
40 spline axles(mark williams)
Liberty gear box with slider clutch etc
the body will be all the original panels
and I have converted it to lhd aswell.

Sweet! I have some RWD exhaust manifolds available if you need one. One for the EVO ngine and one for the older 6 bolt engines.

Have you put any thought into a 10.5w tire on the car? I'm not sure where you are from but that could open the possibility for you to run at several different events since the import racing is dead here.
