My recollection is 1:1.61.
In my experience handling will really suffer under hard braking, expect the rear to try and come around.

that gives me a ratio of approx 1.6ish 
yours sounds a little square almost kart like, btw don't be put off by having to have custom driveshafts made, a pair will cost well under £200
so there's no reason to compromise the project.

That is much cheaper than i thought. Any links to suppliers?
GB Engineering £80 each for road ones, £160 each for 'unbreakable' gun drilled competition ones.

Oddly enough, the ideal ratio seems to be that 'human ratio' thing, which is 1:1.6+.
Someone mentioned LMP cars. You can't use the obvious figures for these, because they are designed to maximum body widths, and also the wide
tyres make things a little different to the accepted norms.
Cheers,
Syd.
