Magarv, What handbrake set-up are you using with the wilwood 4 pots ? Very nice BTW

Cheers Jon

Thanks

Take a look in post #20 (Page 2 in general for handbrake discussion)

How do you find the H&R coilovers? What spring rates did you go for?

would also like to know the springrate your using on you H&R coilover. maybe you could check the numbers on the springs

any more info on that MAF sensor modification pipe? What is the pipe diameter now and did you apply a remap after fitting this MAF enlargement?

Pipe diameter is 3,5" (inner diameter is 85mm) and the chip/remap was setup to fit this. I finnished up all engine modifications and then did the remap when everything was in place

My friend also did the welds on air intake and pressure piping, all the welds were "acid washed" as well






My oldest son, who was 1 year old at the picture, thought the TIG weld needed some adjustment

And here are some old pictures from the exhaust build. The system is 3,5" stainless steel grade AISI 304 and SS V-band clamps from Burns Stainless. I got help from a friend who is very skilled with the TIG welder to do the welding

Last winter I replaced the weak 01A 5 speed tranny with a stronger 01E 6 speed tranny.

In addition to the gearbox itself I changed the front subframe, gearlinkage, and shortened the prop shaft 2,5cm. Subframe were sand blastet and have only one layer with primer in the pictures.

The bottom 2 pictures shows the left side gearbox mounting bracket difference between 5 and 6 speed subframe.

im curious were did u get those coilovers from ?
whats the pricing on them also

I bought them through a friend with good contacs and I got a realy nice price.

Norway is a very expensive country and I think they cost aprox 3000usd over here. (and aprox 2600usd for standard H&R coilovers) You might get them cheaper if you order directly from H&R in germany (Norwegian currency is strong these days)

Sounds like a scary moment (and 75g was just a wild guess...)

[Rusty]

No, neither shall I, I also carry a torque wrench to check the bolts after each session. Poor car had been given a substantial thrashing up to that point (Bruenchen) due to that f'ing Jag

I shall never forget the sound of that moment....
