All this info and stuff is really interesting and good but i'm left with a question,
What car do you normally drive?
I'm asking because if you normally drive a 850cc mk2 mini your view of fast acceleration will be very different to a 535 BMW and this will
affect your view of the kit car. There are gains to be had, but you are limited to the 2 litre standard pinto.

I drive a 1.4 litre Astra saloon and at the moment it would trounce my kit car for performance, but then it probably has greater HP than the much
earlier Pinto engine.
I used to own a MK3 Cortina 1600cc and if memory serves me well that would also outperform my Pinto.

Super 7th Heaven
Yes, thanks, but I have been there and it throws up more questions than answers.
It was that site that threw in about the large variety of spline numbers, from shaft to shaft, but there is no attempt to say which models it applied
to or how to match shafts with diffs.
This is all it says
"The driveshafts themselves come in different lengths and diameters with different numbers of splines. They are available with 23, 25, 26, 27,
28 and 25/27. The drive shafts are different lenghts on both sides of the car. The early 23 splines shafts are the narrowest at 26.95mm and later
higher performance models are the thickest at 28.5mm."

Ditch the pathetic pinto, and fit a big V8
you will not need to change your beloved wheels, nor the diff, of the halfshafts
but you may need to fit a bigger fuel tank
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at
