Also get the oil level up ...

Re: Offset output with a centered diff

sounds like he has a centered rear diff so flex isnt going to do much, and generally if your flexing your car your not going at 100km/h your goin under 5km/h so as long as they are not goin past there limits you will be fine

of course if they bind they are goin to wear/break

You got to decide, Comp car or Rego car. Completely different spec. Alot of comps in NSW don`t need rego anymore.
Build one to do both means wasting alot of coin with stupid engineers and rules that wont make a very good Comp rig.
