MADDUB 0 Posted April 30, 2004 well after a very long time most of my new engine bits are on the way all been shipped from the USA should be here on tusday and then all i need is the new crank which will be about 2 to 3 weeks then i should get her back on the road for the end of may i hope for RTTS when she's back she should be about 500 bhp :lol: :lol: at the front wheels :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 30, 2004 500 bhp :lol: :lol: at the front wheels :wink: LOL, you nutter! The roads are in a bad enough state as it is without you ripping them up with all that power :lol: Out of interest, how long are you expecting the gearbox to last? LOL!

MADDUB 0 Posted April 30, 2004 well ant to sure but it is a 6 speed quaife with LSD we will have to see drop the cluch at 8000 rpm in 2 gear :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 30, 2004 That should do it. A VR6 clutch is only good for about 350bhp, so you might need a Helix Autosport jobbie, or maybe an AP racing one or even a SACHS sporting if that takes your fancy. Still it'll be good fun shredding the gears, LOL! I think the CVs will give way before the box/clutch does tbh. You can get beefed up ones though..... Can't wait to see the finished car.... you'll have the fastest C in the country, possibly even the fastest VW in the country!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chimo 0 Posted May 2, 2004 I hope there's a syncro conversion in mind too... how are you going to put that kind of power down? you're going to spin like a mofo. 500 is madness, never mind 8 :shock: :shock: on a side note, who's corrado is running 11s? That's faster than any Rado I know of.... bill schimmel's was in that neighborhood, but has since been broken. There's a guy doing a 24V VR6 TT rear engine, RWD swap, that's going to be insane when it's completed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
