jims13 6 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 you cant but i can the mods done to dons car ( or gavs old car for those that no him )were done with drive ability , trq and reliability in mind.bar the final drive mod, which tbh i dont think its worth doing unless your having the box out for some other reason, then its as far as you can go.yes you can fit a shrick , but for the cost , youd be better off going charged , be that super or turbo.

nivag27 5 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 So what would 263 cams final drive and a 2 box system do for torque? As thats what I want TORQUE.Sorry for the hijack Don ;-)If you want TORQUE Gav then get a turbo....simplesI know what you are saying dude, but that costs more dosh more insurance and more up keep bills as they go wrong more often. I also cannot fix it myself. Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 So what would 263 cams final drive and a 2 box system do for torque? As thats what I want TORQUE.Sorry for the hijack Don ;-)would be a really good combo in my opinion, come and drive the cab Gavvvallaarr as that is basically what is on it at the mo mate the G60 final drive isn't expensive or tricky to do so I would think it's a well worth mod. Plus you would want to add a remap into that equation too mate Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 well I paid £40 for a g60 gearbox and then got Tony to change it all over for me mate so was a cracking price ! pm him for exact quotes easier for me as my engine was out so wasn't a big job to change the gearbox over at the same time too Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Daft question, Is that a golf G60 or Rado G60 or doesn't it make a difference?? Link to post Share on other sites
eastwood john 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 the g60 is the gear box off the corrado yes, but the corrado dont fit on a golf vr, so youve to change the internal bits, is that right, :S Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 as above is a corrado gearbox mate Link to post Share on other sites
eastwood john 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 so do you have to change all the insides or just the one gear,is it just the bell housing that differs,+ any info on any members that can do, Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 just one gear mate, and as said pm Tony Link to post Share on other sites

oldmandon 1 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 OK, car went on the rollers at Stealth today, and it's down on power a little, I have Dyno's showing 203 and 210, but today she was putting out 199.1....... What can I do to put her back in the 200's???Gav (ThermalIP4) recons to put a BMC induction kit on, as it's enclosed and wouldn't suck in warm air from the bay unlike my MAHOOOSIVE sponge RAM AIR induction kit........ Thoughts please????? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Put it on a different RR as they all read different Link to post Share on other sites

Antihero1981 8 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 it also makes a difference if you driven a car a few hours on the way up there! let it cool down a bit , take off front grill so fan can blow into engine bay....even stupid things like tyre pressure on the fronts ect ect Link to post Share on other sites

But maybe as Jim has said, build a plate to keep the heat out. Something I'll have to look into doing.......Anyone got any ideas where to start??!!!!I don't know if I mentioned the torque figure, but it was 194.9ftlb...... On the road the car is awesome love it, just chasing numbers I supposed!!! Link to post Share on other sites
