One thing to consider though is you rarely run at ride height, even on flat ground you will squat under acceleration, ris...

How short? I had a lux transfer on the back of a nissan RWD Auto and that was shorter than a zuk box and divorced case. You will find most RWD autos have quiet a long tail section that can be cut off. doing that took about 230mm out of the nissan auto. It always amazes me how much shaft there is in ...

Don't use the body. Earth the ecu and all the sensors etc on the engine, usually the manifold. Factory there will be a couple of earth points on the head side of the inlet manifold fairly easy to get to. The ecu reads tiny differences in voltage from the sensors ( remembering most are only max 5v) s...
