what is required to tub a car? and can u put street wheels back on after its been tubbed to run it round on the street?

Your mate can can't he? Isn't he the one with 500, 000rwMW that has tubs for the track and regular guards for the street? If you were writing the post I was thinking of...

BINGO, luke! like i said before YLDPSI, you can un-tub your car real easy with spinifex and duct tape, but it has to be engineer certified before it will be street legal again.

yeah, 500rwkw plus is the predicted power figure. hasnt been tubbed yet, can u answer my question!

how do u tub it in the first place?

I think you and wellsy should hook up... Take it to an fabrication place that specializes in car mods, ie: John Taverna or someone of that ilk.

i've said my piece. anybody else?

no, im the mate! im not racing the car. my mate is building the car and racing it. he has been banned from here! he probly does know about tubbing, but i dont, now can u stay on topic and answer my question!

keep it on topic guys, stop provoking each other.

YLDPSI :me. its an auto powerglyde. foot down and go! its not rocket science! You must have amnesia or you are letting your mate post under your name which is annoying and confusing. You come here going on about this fast vl that will be tubbed for the drags and untubbed for the street but you have no idea what you are saying and you make yourself look silly. Tubbing is modifying the wheel arches by chopping them and welding sheet metal to make them bigger so you can fit wider tires. It is only allowed for drags unless you get it fully engineered for street use. So to tub and untub a car you would be continuously cutting and welding the arches.

what about mini-tubbing?

Ask your mate about tubbing then, if he's getting a 500kw monster built then he should know what it is. Unless of course he went into the workshop with no idea and they said hmm.. 100 bucks and we'll get you 500rwkw as they laughed at him. He'll get it back with a hi-clone in it and a dodgied up dyno graph saying 503rwkw.

Lol Bextor

yeah, ur a very funny boy bextor84, i hope ur gonna be as vocal when this thing joins the top ten and starts eating its way to number 1

how much does tubbing cost? and can u put street tyres on after its been tubbed if u want to run it on the street and disguise the fact that its been tubbed for drag slicks?

A barrel load, because if I am pretty sure the diff will have to be modified ie: shortened. So you can house the large slicks.

Plus the setup of the Suspension. So are you going 4 link?

is that true? the diff definitely needs shortening? and what will have to be done to the suspension?

don't worry, your mate will be able to answer all your questions because he's the one building the 7 second, 500kw car. if everything you have told us is true, he will have considered the fact that he will need a custom made diff, tubbing and 4-link suspension. don't worry about it dude, your mate has it under control.
