FishWick 21 Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Quaiffe do straight cut dogleg and normal synchro 6 speed conversions. Not cheap tho.Vince is your man for gearboxes. There is no better in the country.Have a look at their site at the Corrado VR turbo project. 405 pounds of twisty stuff going through an 02A Gemini box. Steel CVs, the lot.

FishWick 21 Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 LOL! I'm honestly not trying to bankrupt you in doing this, but there is a certain way of doing things that ensures the engine and box hold together when applying the big beans. We're lucky in that the Germans tend to over-engineer things but they still have their limits.The standard drivetrain can handle around 280 brake all day long but if you go over that, you need to take the necessary steps to ensure it all holds together! Quite embarrassing taking a new bird out in the car and it throws a rod cause you skimped on a few vital components. Been there, done that, got the T Shirt :-) Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 im ok, ive done it maself a few times, i think my car has gave up on me about 8 times while my g/f has been in the car. but i understand your theory, i will be over doing all of the reinforcements, but going to try and get power up as high as possable while upgrading parts for streangth along the way.I just dont want to spend loads of money reinforcing the engine and getting no power gains, as ill think im just wasting my money and get sick of the car. like my last one.[ Edited Sun Jun 27 2004, 12:20PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
