actually, i would like to know what kind of mods a man of mr. atkins' caliber has. for those who don't know dan or what he does, that is ok. the next time you think of atkins and rotary in the same sentence, you may be on to something.

Well its actually the whole SE rear end and without it I'd have 4x110 on rear lug pattern and 4x113 on front

besides that its like 4.10 compaired to 3.99 gear ratio
and bigger rotors,bigger pads, etc... its better in a quite a few ways when compaired to the GSL rear end
