Drivetrain, axels, diff
 
Would it be a bad idea to upgrade the drive train, axels and diff around 2-4 weeks before throwing in the built engine and turbo kit? As in would it be harmful to the car as I'll be daily driving it for around a month before completed?

I mean, if you are going to have the transmission and engine out anyway, you are better off just doing it then. I don't see any way a tougher drive train can cause you problems. Maybe slightly slower due to increased losses, but I doubt you would even notice.

Edit, assumed tranny was coming out too. If that's not the case, then ignore my first sentence.

That sounds like a good idea actually?....cuz you get to break in the trans first?

But I guess you can do it at the same time too since it should be cheaper to do it all at once? :scared0016:

That's exactly what I did, you can see my build page. I did the driveshaft first, then trans and diff with axles. Then put in a built motor and turbo kit. It will not harm or cause any ill effects.
