Of course not! He is obviously on the same page as we are... You simply use
a portal axle setup with the front wheel drive setup... So you can use
either an audi d-line or subie STI so you have electronic bias control to
power a syncro, and get even more ground clearance, AND have two speed
ranges on the portal setup for hi/lo... I think it's a great idea, anyone
that has about $50k to spare give us a call and we'll hook you up ha
