Nick, these gearboxes have been used for ages here in the north with semislicks etc and 700+ bhp. they tend to whine a little after some use, but they hold the power. i have just been building up a mates sierra with a 500bhp engine, and the gearbox seen to hold very well. very nice to shift to.

Lincoln, it's actually been some failures here in norway, but i can warrant how the shafts previous condition have been. we'll just have to wait and see if they brake, but one thing's for shure, i'll shure as hell gonna try.....

 

Ole, that`s the only answer i was hoping to read here

And many thanks Lincoln.
Now I should be more successful in searching

 

Nice work, and sensible choice of diff, the 9' ford m-sport one is imo, obsolete by now, old, expensive crap in comparison to this , more modern and correct priced unit.

Is is available in 3 versions.

Lincoln, with 28 spline axles and all steel house.
Cobra, with 28 spline axles and alu house
Cobra R and latest cobra's with IRS, 31 spline axles and all alu house.

Rear lid is the 'weakness' off it, std unit handles roughly about 1000 V8 hp.

I'm using the Cobra R 31 spline version with a custom cnc machined rear lid on the granada.

Cheers

Joel

 

Hi,

very intersted in these wheels for mine , they look awesome certainly with this amount of drop . Any chance of sharing more pics like also from the side , etc , ... ? Would be very much appriciated.

sorry, don't have any other pictures than those who already are posted.

 

Great info mate. I bought the alu pumpkin brand new from ford racing bare for 550usd.

I got the Ultimate 8.8 rear lid with the bearing cap supports. Makes it easier to hang the diff mount off too!

 

Good afternoon,

Any progress ?

 

Olek, do you still have your Saph!?!?

 

Hi DaveCrack,

Yes I still have it, but time and money are going into a small farm at the moment. It does get some attention from time to time, but it's atleast a couple of years since I last worked on it.

Have been collecting various parts that are needed for the build, but I'm still missing funds for paint, engine management, turbo, exhaust manifold, wiring harness, clutch and various other parts.

Hoping to get it finished some day, then maybe use it on track for a year or two and sell it or trade it with something a little more usefull than can be used on the road....

 

Nice to hear you still have it! Hope you will get it finished in the end!

 

Just scanned the thread , loads of good memories there mate !!!

 

I'm glad you enjoyed it carl/saff

It sure is, lot's of 'Smiles pr gallon' as the americans say.

Still hoping to get the car ready sometime, but the money, time and motivation just isn't there right now....
