A locker is only suitable for off road (beach or mud). Handling is much improved using a LSD on the front diff. Most performance minis have a LSD (std on some later models) to prevent the inside wheel spinning when it lifts in a corner. The Subaru WRX Sti has three LSDs...

Not really practical, and probably not drivable if it was. Seen a couple of buggies made with Subaru WRX motors mated to a scoobie FWD transaxle mounted in the back. Even they wheelstand.

Hey, anything is possible... By the way, I've worked out a budget calculation system: Budget Costs = parts + labour +10% Actual Costs = Budget + 100% + $25 per extra kW over your original specs Actual Duration = 10 x Estimated Duration (works for days, weeks or months)

Budgets - now there's a dirty word. I'm on revision #3, and still climbing...

Currently moving/updating my web site. Will post details soon... Mike

Lambo, sounds like an engineering masterpiece in the making! Make sure you keep us updated...

Hey motoflyboy, any chance of some pics or links with more details?

Which box are you using? That motor sure looks neat engine bay, much better than the old Ford 1600cc ever did!
