BEEYOND BUILT Peak!!!!!!! he won't let me take any more pictures

Simon - have you guy's looked into a 240sx rearend? there still run IRS but there are a few 240's in the 8's-9's on them. just do a good diff and axles and your set.

just a thought.

That isn't exactly true.

The R230 from the Z32 TT will take the power pretty reliably, and likely the Q45 based R200 rear end as well with the larger output shafts.

However the vast majority of the 240sxes out there are running a R200 with the weaker output shafts and axles. Sure you might be able to run fast on it once or twice, but in the end that would be a ticking time bomb.

IMO the Ford 8.8 as others have mentioned is probably the best bet if he plans to stick to drag racing it.

As for the trans Tim is right a standard domestic trans with an adapter kit would likely work best, however if the motor is rotating in a non-standard way then I'm not really sure it would work.

there's more to getting it together then putting big wheels on the back of the car lol.

Don't know if that was aimed at me, but seems to me that pictures of the civette doing donuts kinda proves that it works perfectly fine?

hahah

hmmm i know a saturn with something like that!




and it may have been over kill for me to use a 9in in my saturn but it was free and didnt need to be narrowed... maybe they just want to build it right the first time and dont want to fvck with it later on?!

Ford 8.8 from a late Explorer (disc braked, no loose axles), can be narrowed by anybody with a torch and welding skillz, under $300 to respline the stock plenty strong axles from Moser.

I was sold after seeing steel body Mustangs go into the 7's with them.

You CAN NOT drive a GForce trans on the street. Just ask the experts on the Corral......

I drive mine just fine lol.

I saw this car on Howell a Puetz Yesterday AM...Asian kid drivin...

You guys are fucking clueless.......

seriously, a 9? 1, there are full weight mustangs going 8's on built 8.8s.... mind you, these mustangs make torque.... I know you guys are foreign to that term, but im sure wikipedia can help ya out!
2. do you realize the extra ammount of power eating rotational mass that is there in a 9"?


Next, I give you guys 100% credit for this project, its brilliant, and if you can mass produce a kit for this thing and it works out, then im sure every pimpled faced 17 year old high school kid will be lining up to buy one.... but seriously, you guys want to be thought of as a reputable shop, and the best you can come up with is come POS craigs list special.... then you go and put them gay ass holes in the bumper.... wtf??


I wouldn't even deliver pizzas in a car that looked like that......

another thought i have is if the engine spins "backwards" how will you convert that to the correct direction before the rearend?

[pnad]

btw, i'm no grammar nazi or anything but peak is not the same as peek.

Peak = high point or summit.

Peek = quick look or glance.

Just trying to help with your english.

Ron, i know your new to this whole car thing and all, but my top secret intel from the beeyond guys have a simple solution this this said problem.... all you gotta do is flip the axle over and PAH, they be running 14s in no time.

Put the rear end in upside down?

Get a "front end" from a 4x4?

[gottwins?]

couldnt you have a cam ground to change firing order/engine rotation? you would also have to do something about the oil pump and starter,but that seems like it would be the easiest way to apply power to the back of the car.

[Prince Valiant]

I'm confused....How does customizing the trans change the problem with which way the engine spins? Should you get it so the pumps/etc do what they're supposed to do with regard to fluids/solenoids/etc, you'll still need at a minimum a custom ring and pinion so that the reverse rotation sends you in the right direction.

At this point I'd think the easier solution would be to stick a SBC in there, lol....

Put the rear end in upside down.....

What? It'd work. It's in a Honda... who'd care?
