Hi
thinking of dropping one of those nice Honda S2000 units into my midget:
how much power can the std midget rear axle take?
what about the advantages of adding uprated half shafts, double bearing kit?

any suggetsions on alterntive rear axle set-ups?

thanks

I already have pan-hard, tramp, LSD etc on rear and uprated suspension, brakes etc on the front.
current engine produces 80 at the wheels.

The Thinking behind the S2000 is the sound is amazing and they are more easy to come by than the typeR's. I was orginally looking at the toyota RWD twin cam - but they are difficult to come by now.

you have confirmed my suspition that either a decent K (ie a 1.8) or civic R or Honda S2000 anytning with real grnut is going to mean an axle change.

hence i'm looking for suggestions as to what would fit and take the power
