    evo ratio ? thats 3.23 i think, its gonna be very long and kill the little is, unless its a shorter ratio than that ? you'll need anything higher than 3.45, i have a 3.65 and you can get a 3.91 to. Its alot easier to source a small case lsd and just swap over instead a changine props and drives etc

    it will not work two ways,its too short as 6sp box is longer and gearbox coupling mounting is very big on EVO and small on 318is .maybe u can found and do some mix of shafts but could be difficult .custom made shaft could sort this
