i'm guessing just didn't include the cv joints in the front end? probably only using the outer end of the cv's to enable location within the bearings

(i know what i'm trying to say but not exactly how to say it if no1 understands)

Exactly

Here are some pictures...




Diff out! (3 kg lighter front of the car hahaha)






Homemade covers for openings of the axleshafts







Done!




Alfa 33 p4 is easy to convert because same axle drives front diff and the driveshaft. I took out the viscous coupling and made 100% lock for rear drive.

What did you mean by the bearings Labrat?

Do the outer cv's hold the hub together or something?

Also.. Another question for alan..

How does it handle now?

Is it easy to control in a slide at all or is it very snap happy?

Alfa 33 is very light at the rear so it's very tail happy. I moved front wheels 2cm more to the front and put the battery in the back to change the weight distribution a little.
It's easy to drift with the car, i just have to modify the steering rack for more lock.

Car has no understeer at all, only oversteer
