Toymods forum whores  ,
I know what some of you are thinking and those of you thinking it can fuck right off 
As those who are members of the Rex_Kelway fan club (one member - ME) would know Rex is building a Clubman. As background its to be powered by a 20V and at the end of its development should be pushing 180 - 190 flywheel Hp and weighing about 600kg.
Given my plans you can assume that its time will be split evenly between fiesty road and track work.
Now ill get to the point.
The rear end was to be based on a S3 Mazda RX7 diff. But recent times have seen a Kouki disc brake diff made available. The unit is 100% rebuilt and comes with a pretty much new Cusco 1.5way.
The total cost is cheaper than the RX7 diff would cost to 'build' to the same standard.
My problem is though. Because the thing is so rare (read: bloody expensive to repair/replace) i need to be sure that it can handle itself properly when im wearing my lead boots. But as an upside it does have a spare axle. Then again if axles are a problem i could pay to have billets made to kill the problem once and for all.
Also in order to use it i'd need to cut the mounts off so essentially it would become a bare housing with fabricated mounts. Then if something does break, and it cant be fixed easily it becomes useless to most people and hence worth very little unless parted.
On the other hand i do like th idea of a complete Toyota driveline.
I suppose that many of the '86s in Japan live pretty hard lives so i cant see there being any strength issues.
What are peoples thoughts on my ramblings?
Rex
