   i think think you'll have to use 4 studs but if your putting a vtr engine in id rather fit vtr front suspension ie struts/arb/wishbones
   
   cheers for the add btw

   You don't have to no. You can run a vtr on 1.0 shafts. When I was running 3-stud on my VTS let alone the old VTr engine I was using standard AX shafts and they lasted for ever lol. I was running ZX 2.0 brakes though which are about the same as VT stuff so I had no trouble stopping lol. 4-stud just gives you far better options if you want to go for better brakes in the future and you benefit from the ARB's etc.
