cheers dude, just been reading your thread, nice collection, what gearbox is in the racecar notch, also what time for the 1/4 mile has it done?

vwfye · Post by **vwfye** » 2nd December 2008 - 10:14pm

the race car has a spooled 'mystery' trans in it... the car hasn't been on the track yet... i've spent the last 2 years creeping along trying to get it ready.

the transmission came out of an old bug racecar that no one can remember the gearing for. so, i don't know yet. but it has a spool and welded gears (they could remember that part).

Also have a 50hp NOS kit in the garage which was thinking of using

wheels are american eagle 2litre reps, not sure on how many splines it has been lowered as already done when brought the car, has no rubbing issues but there is not much clearence from the top of the rear tyre to the top of arch

am running spax adjustable shocks all round and have set them to hard
