Anyone run a S1 gearbox in a S2??? With the standard S2 front anti-roll bar set-up??

I do and the anti-roll bar clashes with the gearbox casing [the end removable bolt on casing]. When the suspension compresses it hits the casing [enough to bend the casing].

Any else noticed this? Or is it just mine??

 

Yer I ran a S1 gearbox with the S2 anti roll bar, I never had a problem. I managed to bolt the gearbox onto the cradle by adding the studs from the correct side a few spacers and I was away.

 

im not runnin a front anti rollbar with mine

 

That doesn't help

Anyone else?

 

Im about to put one in mine mate ill let you know
of the results lol

 

Do you have the antiroll bar installed the correct way around?

 

matt p - Let me know

JesseT - Yes [I'm pretty sure anyway ]

 

I had a S1 box in my RS when I bought it, bolted in exactly the same way with no probs (blew it up a week after I bought the car though )

I've now got a S2 box with S1 diff

What type of front suspension set up are you running, on a S2 the front anti roll bar is required to hold the front set up in line with the front of the car. Do you have a modified S1 adjustable set up installed?[/quote]

 

that would be tellin mate, i dont run an anti rollbar at all

 

interesting. the only thing you can have is the adjustable S1 or RS 1600i setup or maybe the ones from MEF. I dont know tho but with that much power it must be bloody strong!

 

HEs obviously running the S1 or RS1600i crossmember and tie arms without the rollbar, there is no other way.

As for the gearbox fouling i have no idea whats making contact

Pictures?

 

isnt that what i said???

 

Will do mate gonna do a step by step do it yourself thing mate
and then post it up

 

Yea was just agreeing with what you were saying

 

isnt there

 

Well by all means correct me if im wrong or is it the worlds best kept secret.....

 

the box its if you use the s2 mount n cradle. no slip diff for s1's either.great fun.

 

Why is this missinformation coming up again and again...

 

I was thinking that do they or dont they??

I thought they did

 

Series 1's came with LSD's.

END OF STORY.

 

Cheers for clearing that one up mate

 

 

sorry. when i baught the box in question the guy assured me it was from a series one. it had the square front mounting point on the front too. maybe it was from an xr3 ripped. it didnt have a bar across when you looked into the hole for the driveshafts. is it true that this is a way to tell?
it also dropped massive burnouts everywhere

 

no bar through the hole = LSD

interesting fact - The LSDs in Series 1 Boxes are rebuildable unlike the ones in Series 2 boxes. Thats according to Bernie at CTS

 

The S1 LSD are "better" also because they have the more common six bolt pattern, so the LSD can always be put to whatever other box to make it an "RST-box".

John:
Did you really check that your left and rear on the antiroll-bar are the correct way around? This happens soooo often when people don't realize they are different. The left side takes a different route to better clear the gearbox.
