DRB Mamba
Any members here got a DRB Mamba kit? Thinking about buying one. I like the solid axle rear end cars.

"Mamba" is a very venomous fast moving South African snake
They are a good tough kit -- with 20 years experience

its Rumba -- Mamba is a dance for people with a hair lip
Plenty of the 9" out there --unless you're putting out 600HP, ye old BW 8" is plenty and lighter as well
The whole car will only weigh around 1000kg

Backdraft have done a few "Black Mamba" spec cars. Totally irrelevant to this thread but great eye candy.

It looks like the original DRB with Torana front end?

Very similar to mine yes but with a few changes.
Rear end is located with trailing arms and coilovers mounted differently, and a Watts link setup.
Re engineered to suit LS engines / boxes with the guards flared to suit wider rims. I think they are lighter than the original ones also.
A9X front end with coil overs etc, vaccuum formed composite body....
Proven fast......
