Next time you need a driveshaft done, go here for U joints

I've used them for years on many cars for on track and off. Easy to rebuild yourself really, I use a torch to make the center of the old joint disappear, tap the caps in, clean the burrs with a die grinder, install new joints.

You bet! Ran the car 4 times since Thanksgiving. Car was flawless. Minor tuning with air pressure, but did not turn a wrench. Found the balance and limits. With the Eibach springs and sway bars, it was completely square and could be urged to go over steer or understeer with minor throttle.
Now it's got a Peripheral port, to see where it will go now. Very happy that it was so close out of the box. I did see that I could use some slicks to take the cornering to the next level. The PP will handle the straight line speeds.
Changed to a smaller steering wheel and Sparco driver seat.

hmm nice build

Looks really nice.

I noticed you are using what looks like an engine mount from a FB in a FC. Is that something you made yourself or is that available somewhere.

Thanks for the kind words! I made the mount. It's a combination of a stock FB and 4130 tubing with the urethane mounts on the end. All tig welded.

Friend of mine took this and posted it on YOUtube.

It's the preipheral port that is in the engine stand in my gallery. It's in and runs fine. It's our new bullet.:-)

By the way, that tinny rattle is a loose exhaust insert.

Thanks!
