Cool will be good to know your power. I'm using the same turbo and manifold.

 

Definitely feels over 500bhp+. Will get graph up once its been dynoed. What cars your turbo/manifold going on?

 

Nice feature in ff this month pal

 

Great piece in fastford one of the best escorts about it sits so well.

 

Did sit like a replica before squatted at the rear. Sits just right now

 

7064 external gated, marks design manifold. 1000cc Id injectors, sm4 ecu.

 

Sorry missed read, 2wd saff

 

Spec R crackle cam cover fitted

 

That really finishes it off well. Any more plans for it?

 

Think thats it just have it dynoed at some point when I tax it when the weather gets better.

 

Oppliger long box going on in March

 

good read keep the updates coming mate

 

Mark told me to get the close ratio one, which are you going for?

 

The same box as I recommend for your one.

Mark

 

Very nice mate and lucky thier are no more of these gearkits being made as he's now developing the 6 speed I got the last one who are you getting to make the shortened prop spacer looks a good 50 mm or more

 

That spacer will be with the gearbox & a short shifter.

 

I want in car footage ASAP lol

 

I think he meant that with the spacer in there the box is longer so you may need a shorter rear prop. I THINK though that the rear prop slider reduce down in size.

If not then prop shaft services would do it for around Ł100

 

Serious spec this car is

 

I will send you it over when I have it.

As far as I know it don't need the rear prop shorten Im sure the gear stick sits further up towards the dash with a alloy longer gear level with the short shifter. Mark will be fitting it so what ever it needs he will have it sorted when fitting the box .

 

nice.

 

Oppliger gearbox removed. Should have the new Oppliger short ratio gearbox tonight with short shift & custom alloy gear lever.

 

great car m8...can you please tell me was is the cost of the new box..tried to get the info directly but no reply..
thanks

 

Try Bara Motorsport cost will vary depending on what you want doing to the gearbox http://www.baramotorsports.com/

 

oh thanks..

 

Oppliger close ratio gearbox with quickshifter and custom made gear lever. Either a B&M gear knob will be fitted or may have a custom gear knob made.





Both propshafts will be modifed 1 shorten by 25mm the other lengthen by 25mm.

 

Twin Spec R gearbox breathes same as the pic below on order mine will be left in polished finished.

 

Both props back from being modified & balanced.

 

Oppliger short ratio gearbox fitted.







B&M gear knob



Oppliger quick shift kit and custom alloy gear lever fitted



Spec R gearbox breathes should be done this week in polished finish.

 

Very nice!!!
Whats the difference in the close ratio gearbox?

Also the quickshift leaver? you feel any major differences?

I have the normal ratio oppliger gearbox but with dropchain 3.9 for the rear sierra diff (3.9)... And standard shift-lever..

Cheers

 

I read someone saying that a 300 bhp car with the close ration box could out run one with 400 bhp as it would always be on the boil.

 

The car is alot faster through the gears.

The feel of the gear changes is a bolt rifle feel slick, precise & no play does not feel like a cosworth gear change it is what I would say is perfection

 

Spec R gearbox breathe pots

 

Stunning car this.

 

Fast becoming weaponized perfection i'll be stealing the blue prints

 

Its how a cossie should all the gay shite going on putting them to standard , This is how they should be

Regards Jay

 

Pete at Spec R seemed more pleased with how it looked than I was he's done brilliant on making them.

Im with you on this one standard is not for me either.

 

Might aswell buy a modern diesel than drive a standard cossie lol . You are doing a great job

Regards Jay

 

Picked up a new filter off Pete at Spec R over the weekend for the oil breather.



Took a trip down to see Mike at Edwards Motorsport this morning to have the exhaust tip extended as it was smoking up the rear bumper when giving it some boost.

How it was like before.







Extended exhaust tip

 

Looking good mate have you had it Rolling roaded yet?

Are you using a turbo hanger?

Cheers si
