2cc 0 Posted February 10, 2006 decisions, decisions, these sound like they're a needed mod, but it's the valver's box that needs some tlc while the vr's is still sweet - maybe I should just get 2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Whats the price in Sterling? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted February 10, 2006 i know jay did it but is it resonable to attempt a gearbox rebuild yourself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Depends on how much you have done before. Basically you need a few special tools but it saves you a hell of a lot of money doing it yourself. Everyone thought I was mad doing it myself, but nothing in a car is "that" complicated. It still works fine a few months on, so I obviously did it right :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 12, 2006 would you be interesting in fitting a peloquin diff and rebuilding my mates gearbox? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Well, after you disabled the traction control so it could actually do its job!! I can get the diffs for $750 direct off Peloquin. but then you have to pay shipping and import tax *cough* (no you don't :wink: ) *cough* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 5, 2006 I believe most people import Pellies through this chap:- http://www.thescirocco.com/peloquin.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Cheers mate :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 5, 2006 No worries. He's a good bloke. Well helpful. I wanted a pelly originally but peter couldn't get one across within my time scale, so I had to go for the more expensive quaife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 5, 2006 I'd rather go with the pelly but i'd be happy with a quaife is it proves difficult to get hold of one. Finally things are starting to come together! Selling ya 4-pots yet????? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 5, 2006 They're exactly the same mate, it's just that Pelly throw in the diff bearings and bolts, whereas they're £100 extra (called a 'fitting kit') from quiff. Quaife rather foolishly didn't file a global patent, which is how the Pelly came about, but Quiff invented it, so quality is assured. get it from the US tho as it comes with a warranty (as does the pelly). Quiff UK would rather give you a black eye than a warranty, tight RS holes. They never break tho, so it's no biggy. Selling my 4 pots? Dunno, that's news to me, LOL!

double-6s 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Was just hoping you were 'impressionable' mate :) Do they ever come up 2nd hand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 5, 2006 I've only seen 3 AP kits come up on the gay in a year, but they were off Cosworth and Subarus. That isn't a problem tho as it's just the CP5200 calipers and discs you need, the VW specific bells and carriers can be bought off the shelf from AP for not a huge amount. The pads you can get from anywhere. Saw a 6 month old kit off a scoob go for £600, less than half the new price. The problem is people that buy them tend to keep them, indeed Evo6/7/8/9 etc owners junk the brembos in favour of APs, so you could always grab a cheap Brembo setup instead?

double-6s 0 Posted June 5, 2006 I'll keep an eye out. Are Brembos any good? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 5, 2006 They are yes! It's not common knowledge but Brembo now own AP Racing and they co developed one piece 4 and 6 pots. So AP or Brem, you can't go wrong mate. The reason Evo owners dump their OE brems is because they're an older Brem caliper and the discs and pads Mitsubishi fit are crap for track use, but they're fine for road use. You also have the option of Porsche Brembos or Leon Cupra R ones, but you'll have to sort custom carriers. As for pads, has to be Pagid RS15 or Endless Carbon ceramic. They are just stupid and stop you dead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
