So they've turned the engine 90 degrees so it doesn't pull all over the place when it launches?
That's one way round it
Any pics?

Yep basically, and using the Skyline bits means much more reliability (hence one of the reason Martin went that route on the Reyland Cossie IIRC)
No pics, there's a debate about it involving Andy Forrest on 22B

He's even hinted at Drifting due to it now having selectable RWD/4WD. And he can now do a proper RWD Burnout before a 1/4mile run.... Unlike his old 4WD burnouts that nearly put him into the barriers on more than one occasion
This years Time Attack should be interesting...
