    I couldn't search on this, because I have no idea what the hell to call it. Take a look at this pic..

    Now, for once it ISN'T about the girl, it's the quickest pic I could find with the rear tire like that. Does anyone have any pics on how something like that would be set up? With the car between the tires? It looks absolutly wicked and I'd like to learn as much as I can about it. Thanks

    EDIT- Hey look, I'm not a FNG anymore.

    the driveshaft runs through the car and the drive shaft tunnel acts like armrest.

    it has coilovers and split bones.
    the rear diff is about 1/2 and inch from hitting the decklid.

    A guy named Ian loska built it a few years back.

    Thats about it.

    Yeah, that thing looks amazing, never thought about actually moving the axle back instead of just up, but I guess that's what innovation is.

    Haha, I almost pissed myself when I read that. Oh, and post number doesnt mean much, other than you got more addicted than most. The HAMB is worse than cocaine, no joke.
