marco

 

Very nice Marco.....

 

Quality bits of kit mate!

 

are you going on gravel then?

 

Serious diff, atleast thats one less thing to worry about breaking

 

cheers lads marco here on martins computer

hi tim

no mate , it might see the gravel on race track.....lol...

being serious , it has been set lightly(progressive) theres not that much preload on the plates

it will break free off the gas and will let the one wheel spin a bit faster going around tight corners

the gripper in my 3dr is set nearly the same but with this plated diff theres load more plates inside this unit so makes it easyer to just different ramp angles

cheers marco

 

that makes sence then,nice item as well.

 

thanks tim

do you have any normal grp a engine mounts i can by

marco

well atleast you found out what the problem was , you shouldn't buy fook all on ebay theres some shit stuff on there (not always the case tho)

marco

 

hi jay

depends on what size xtrac front diffs ? ffd type/ 8.5" ?

ill ring you in a bit

cheers marco

 

ha ha it's not in the unit

 

pmsl , you never change


marco

 

what sequential box is it do you have the input ratios or gearing ?

 

hi jim

it's an xtrac box that was fitted to the wrc escort cos , it would have short ratios probaly with 4.4 center diff just guessing tho

imput shaft might have the ffd pattern maybe 12 spline




big thanks to bara for the diff and shafts


cheers marco

 

cheers marco how much would that set someone back
and just out of interest what would be the topspeed for this box ??

 

Hi Marco,
What would be the price of a diff and shafts like this in 3.9 flavour?

 

hi mike

xtrac plated unit with 3.9 and shafts roughly 5/6k but thats will be with brand new 9" casing not second hand one

personally i love the plated unit thats all i have ever driven with right back from the early mk1 mk 2 days

marco

 

hi mate

xtrac box was about 25k brand new i think

all depends on the ratios i would say max 140

but would be quick as fook getting there


this gearbox would make a car feel like it was on anti lag all the time

it wouldn't give the turbo time to drop boost



all im going for is a mt75 rwd with dog gears standardish car ratios

be good enough for me , i might try the 3.9 after a bit and se whats that like

marco

 

anytime I read anything you write I get your accent reading it in my head

 

lol @Dan

hi lads
quick update
firstly went to see Nigel at HSS plant hire , for a 100liter air compressor + extractor fan + electrical heaters as Kevin told me he wants to paint the inside of the car this saturday morning






after that i fitted the 9" diff today, i had to do a bit of modification to the diff mount loctaion as it's further away from the original bolt plates
i also had to drill a bit out of the top beam hole so the i could fit the top bolts in they are roughly 2mm out and you can get the bolts in unless you do that ,




later on in the afternoon got a call from Kevin saying he was going to paint the car tonight , i though shit , better get cracking , i fitted the driveshafts /hubs/ hub flanges both sides then had to wrap them all up so i dont get any over spray on them
Kevin and Nigel arrived so we made a booth to take away the over spray

Kevin then got to work and was dancing to ABBA pmsl ,here he is

heres a few pics after











the colour of the paint is a brilliant white you cant buy any whiter

Big Thanks to Kevin
Big thanks to Nigel @ HSS plant hire without that stuff i dont thing we would have painted it that good with the other farty compressor


massive thanks Marco
