Very awesome.
Isn't the Evo AYC diff terrifically complicated and in the middle of the car though? Or is this what years of Gran Turismo have taught me and it's not actually the case?
No. The later cars (VII onwards) have an active centre diff but that sits behind the engine rather than in the centre of the car. The IV just had AYC which sits the rear diff. The prop is similar to any RWD car. Isn't the Evo AYC diff terrifically complicated and in the middle of the car though?

Thankyou 
On the video games you can adjust the AYC balance and it shows a seperate diff in the middle of the car, so I thought that was the case. Learn something new everyday...

Before I bought one I thought the same - years of playing GT.
This is from the X but essentially the same layout.
Bit of an update on the car,
Got the fuel filler neck made and fitted bit off a job to do as the evo filler was on drivers side and the c2 is on the passengers side so had to snake it across the car,i will fill the hole thru the floor with a plate in 2 halfs shaped round the filler pipe
Still retains the evo one way valve in the tank neck in event of rollover and all the breathers,
Got some arch extentions as need something to cover the wheels but not sure on them yet might not use them yet
Thanks Will

ks!!
This thing looks excellent, and another vote for keeping the bolt on arches. It'd be nice to keep it looking sly, but with the wheels that much wider than the car that's not going to happen!
I thought carbon fibre arch extensions first, but I'd actually be tempted to get the arch extensions painted to match, but keep the bolt on look.
The blue really goes with the white wheels too.

Now you've modified the actual structure (by cutting the chassis and reducing it's length) are you sure it doesn't need to be SVA'd?
Also not sure if I would be so confident with cutting the major sections of the chassis like that and welding it. FYI welds, as a rule of thumb, have about 50% strength of the original steel section, and are prone to defects which could potentially lead to cracks, and ultimately catastrophic failure.
If anyone disagrees with the above I would be interested to know what they think.

I would of thought so aswell to be honest. Cashew said:

I don't disagree...it's just, what's the worst that could happen? If anyone disagrees with the above I would be interested to know what they think.

Assuming that it's been welded properly it'll be fine. Otherwise wouldn't most cars on the road have the same potential for catastrophic failure?If anyone disagrees with the above I would be interested to know what they think.
