Keep us posted on your gearbox saga, we al know the price of a dog box kit, could be alot of business for your guy if the price is right

Well the gears "saga" almost wasn't going to be due to financial issiues. At the last moment my boss agreed to sponsor our team. I'll try and keep the updates rolling in here.

It sure would be amazing to have a gearbox like that in your coupe, best of luck with it all! Can't wait for some more updates !

Made a little mod for the hubs(for better tightening of the spacers and rims) and did some work with the new dampers.

Thanks mate. Yesterday we got a new ceramic clutch. More good news the head will also be ready the following week, so we can expect the car running in a week and a half!!!

The head is on, we are just waiting for the exhaust manifold and we are starting tomorrow. Got the sponsors decals.

Today we started the engine for the first time this year, and gues what it started from the first try. Tomorrow there will be testing .

[gripper]

Was the passat brakes a straight bolt on conversion or did you have to mod anything? Was that using the ATE caliper?

Got anymore info on this Pete ?
PM me if you like, to save cluttering up someone else's thread !

Today we tested the gearbox on a 1/4 mile stretch. Everything was perfect but we didn't pushe the car becaus the guy that made the gearbox said first to drive around 20 kilometers normaly in order to allow the mechanism to adjust properly and then change the oil. Coming up next is mounting three fuel pumps instead of one, new inlet manifold with bigger throttlebody and installing launch control. After these mods the ECU will be tuned so that the car can rev all the way up to 7800RPM. Here is a video from today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNtgeZ1Yl30
