You can run the NHRA Modified class if you stay AWD and remove the front strut towers. If you remove them and go RWD, like Brent, then you have to move up a class.

Might as well go RWD at this point and not worry about t-case solutions.

I'd agree w/ go RWD and eliminate the headache of the driveline issue. There's no real solution for a trans unless you go auto but then you still got the t-case to worry about.

I would say the Dog box gear sets should solve the tranny problem, 300m out put shaft and sleave should take care of the tcase, stage 3 front axels and stage 5 rear(I think thats what they are) and a new prop shaft should take care of the driveline, but then you need to worry about the rear pinion/ring gear breaking.

Yeah, check with Shep, he's got the upgraded xfer case stuff available through him and you're probably best going with the dogbox as well.

Dog box's still break. Shit we already broke a bogdox and fried an end clutch in the auto. Damn DSM's just have no solutions, haha.

Who built the "bogdox"? ;)

When I talked to Shep about the dogbox he told me I cant break it... 10k launches, wont break.

Thats the same think he told the guy that ran 1.2 - 60ft I guess. So he launched it at 10k and guess what he got.... Tranny still works fine as far as I know.

So thats what I will go with.

I dont want to go RWD cause its overrated and I wouldnt do it to an eclipse/talon. If I wanted RWD, I'd get a supra/camaro, or even a RX7 with a V8 in it. I dont want to have to find a 5spd RWD tranny and I dont want an auto cause that takes the fun and skill out of driving. Sure its faster but I'd rather have a manual and I like my car.

Hell yeah!!!! I couldn't agree more.

Looks great, I can't wait for an update!

Looks great! Is this James' old car?

It is my old car but it looks a little different now than it did when I had it. Good luck on the project.
