But if you are out to prove a theory and you really love the atlas so much, then i guess the cost will not really be a problem. same way as i love my 2001 Kawada. My mods to my vintage racer has got it handling so well that my friend with a more modern car swears my vintage racer changes directions in corners quicker than his car, hearing that comment is priceless
and another thing, i dont think 42mm driveshafts exists, only 44mm and 46mm.
I want to prove that you don't need the latest and greatest chassis to be fast. A good setup and a good driver is all you need to be competitive.
As of right now the total cost for the car including all the updated parts is around $150.The two belts and proper drive shafts are the only things needed for completing this project.
