im building a little toy i have a old xr3i mk4 sat doing nothing and i also have a honda b16 vtec engine sat doing nothing so i had a idea! so i have fitted the engine under the bonnet and it does look rather good and least the master cylinder and servo are fitted over the pedal box now ! any way my problem is i need some driveshafts making .
where do i go for these to be made and also how do i determin how long they have to be with suspention movement and the slide in and out inner cv joints
any help on this would be much appreciated

Sounds like a fun combination... from what i recall the XR3's weren't too hot on handling a Turbo engine so they had to increase stiffness in the chassis. Just a thought...

The B16A engine doesn't have much more torque than an XR3i (102 lbft for XR3i vs 100-116 depending on particular model for the Honda)
