Well we haven't started that part of the build yet so I haven't let that cat out of the bag; but the engine will be N/A with 13.5:1 compression running on methanol with mechanical fuel injection which about double the HP just by changing over from fuel.

Well it's been a while been working on odds and ends but nothing completed totally. We did get the rear end set and waiting for some parts to be final but here is what we have.

i dont get whats the purpose of this kind of 3 link on a driftcar.
if i understand it correctly this upper link is a damper which enables the whole rear axle to turn forward on braking and shift down, to decrease the possibility blocking the wheels etc.
imho this would be good on a track car but on a driftcar it just unables you to brake that hard and that directly and almost impossible to make a shift lock drift.

oh and the brake discs looks crazy. there must be some kind of trick. would like to know why they look like that

Well your right this link does give it more grip on braking when in the open position. Now with this set up I can take it from full open to a locked up bar from the drivers seat and it will react like a standard bar.

The discs are like that to reduce weight the diameter is 298mm and their weight are 2.5 kg.
