hi Folks,
Im at a bit of a crossroads at the moment on deciding on what way i should go with this, so i thought id ask the opinions here!
At the moment im running a relatively standard XE about 180bhp in my targa rally/ road rally mk2 with a standard English axle with a 3J lsd.
I dont abuse the car, clutch kick, dry 7k launches etc, i drive it with as much respect as i can, and in the last few years ive still broke 2 shafts running A021R's, so something is needed.
The crossroads im at is trying to decide weather a 2 piece heavy duty shaft kit for the english will be all il need (i dont have any plans or budget to up the power any time soon) or should i start to consider a baby atlas.
Budget is also a major factor, i dont have a bag of money to throw at it, so its as much about what will get me by as much as it is the ultimate solution.
So my questions are - how strong are the english HD shaft kits? do i need to go rear disks with this also ? im still on drums. will this take what im doing with the car no problem?
I can see this costing me guts of a grand by the time all is said and done.
2. i would like to go atlas, but i can imagine the chances of me getting something suitable up and running for a grand is very unlikely? At a minimum id need a baby atlas, standard shaft would do me im sure for now, with either a 4.1 or 4.6 CWP, gripper or ZF lsd in good nick. what would i be paying for this sort of setup?
Thanks for any comments / advice
