boonedock saints Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 The first one is a non wide body..lol second is a factory wide body. the third is extra fat, which Id choose, dont know what kit that is, but Id be sold...if I can get over the front facia or find an alternative, this may be one of the top picks. A bit on the heavy side, but Im betting we can loose 500lbs, need to find out the weight on the various motors they used.

boonedock saints Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 The steering linkage is on the rear of the hub. Full weight of an early widebody is around 2950lbs. A bit more than other similar designs, however the chassis is much stiffer and everything is "very well built"... and that was said by a Datsun diehard who was surprised during his first hands on experience with a Starion when we were prepping a chassis for race modifications. -Robert Great info, the rear steer isnt THAT big of an issue, I dont remember how the calculations work out, but moving engine/tanny back 2inches does make a huge difference, more then one would think. thanks for thew input, that helps..Ill need to search to see what the options might be in the aftermarket world for the nose of this thing.
