3b s2 coupe resurrection

[andy10v]

I see you guys talking about where and which flywheel/pressure plate/disc ...
Maybe you could advice for a disc? running 7A flywheel/3B pressure plate/01E gearbox/~750hp.

I don't know about 750

Start a thread and post the torque as well, some of the big power guys might chip in.

I would say you need a multi-plate setup to hold that reliably.

You mean something like this : ?

Also thinking about gearboxes, I think long term I will go B7 gearbox like Alex, however in the meantime I am thinking about sticking in a 7A box when I change the clutch.

7A

Gear Ratio 4000RPM speed/7000RPM speed (MPH)
1st 3.545 20/35
2nd 2.105 35/60
3rd 1.429 50/88
4th 1.029 70/122
5th 0.838 83/145

3B

Gear Ratio 4000RPM speed/7000RPM speed (MPH)
1st 3.500 20/35
2nd 1.842 39/68
3rd 1.222 58/103
4th 0.903 80/140
5th 0.714 98/172

7A would be closer/shorter gear ratios. More like an ABY, but with better shifting ABY felt a bit more urgent in gear compared to the 3B. The long third in a 3B can be great, as it can take you from 30-120, but with a bigger turbo I think the car will become a bit less flexible, and driven hard

Anybody got a good 7A box tucked away?

Billet turbo could be kept on the boil nicely 4000-7000 to allow for not perfect shifting.

AAN cam cover;



I am currently planning to drill or slot the pipe to use as a breather, possibly use the original rear vent to tie into the block.



Also got these, some heavy reading!

Had a brief mess about in the garage with an old coupe wing trying to be able to get some more rubber under the arches.















This is just adding a stock arch onto a stock arch, which does move it out, but also down, some extra clearance would be added as you could cut off the vertical face of the original wing. Looks a bit weird though, as it lowers the arch and the wheel tucks up.

So I would rather use 100 s4 arches like Jim Green, wide, stock height, stock radius.





Messing about did bring home that the bumper will have to be modified, not just bent out as I thought I might be able to bodge.

Still hoping to get the wide body panels from Rocco, but need a pallet price first.

Heated windscreen arrived



Had a brief re think about the wing, montauto said he used 2 wings, but welded together

Ordered another SRE clutch, COP loom + wiring goodies is coming next week with an ABY rack.

How ya doing fella.....

You thought about this technique? couple of choice placed cuts , pull the arch outwards, tack in a spacer, gives you a slight blown arch without lowering the arch. Done it a few times and to be honest its a bit of suck it and see. it sometimes looks great and sometimes not so much......

Happy to lend a hand if need be.

looking good man. Iv been looking at widening the arches on the 90 to get the front wheels under as they stick out about an inch.
This is a reasonable way to do it with keeping a stock looking outer edge, im not sure how well this would lend itself if you don't have a flat spot to extend.

Hey stranger, good to see you are still kicking!

Thanks, I will give it a hack up and see what it looks like.

I might take you up on that, body work is not my forte

Looks reasonable, if time consuming, I will give it a watch when I get home.

How is your car prep going for Knockhill?

Thanks gents.
