Thanks. The locked high ratio clutch with locked PSD is exactly what I had in mind.

What about something like an accusump to store oil pressure while driving? They make them with a solenoid to store the combustion engines oil pressure while the vehicle is off. Key on typically turns on the solenoid to send pressurized oil into the engine. You could potentially use something like t...

I had been considering this but there's still much discussion on the overall gearing issues and would rather use something proven.

This is for a Scimitar so it's a ladder chassis. Oh, snap! I didn't think anyone else would be thinking of a Scimitar for conversion, let alone with a GS450h. I don't have even the project car yet but going to view an SE5a tomorrow. I see you have engine mounts coming so you must be quite far along...

Hi, I'm looking seriously at the GS450h for a next project (currently working on something which uses all drive components from same source for simplicity). The GS450h looks ideal for a RWD car BUT could some added complexities be taken out? If the PSD is locked, then the internal pump would run as ...
