I'll aim to put something together once the turbo is done and tuned (in a few weeks), i'll post in here wherever it ends up being 👍 Packaging has been interesting to say the least, plenty of thought required but everything worked out...

You could ask, but I dont think they'd even end up selling more than one. From the looks of it, even EBS Racing have stopped offering the 6 speed version. That was around $2k USD at the time. There is very little demand and very few people using proper LSDs. Its the complete opposite end of the...

Hopefully! Its a known thing 3rd gear is a weak point on the 012 but, I have the 3 other boxes worth of individual gear parts and syncros which are compatible 👍

Yes its an 012 series transaxle used in Passat/A4, there are 30-40 variations to cover all models. I've had 3 gearboxes from various models over winter from Europe, as they have more favourable final drives - 'da internetz' said parts can be used from), but after actually getting them...

Great for a leisurely drive out, motorway cruising and a little rip now and again - which is the general democratic for these cars. Just terrible for an actual lively track driving experience. The five speed has 3.55 FD, I have seen 135mph+ in 4th gear. In reality, it needs a 4.2/4.4 FD, they...

Well the motor is stock, and they're quite high compression standard, so low boost for now, 7-8psi, which is why I'm using a 60mm gate so I have proper control with the ECU. There has been a lot gone into it fabrication wise but I'm attempting to do it properly with how I use it, with proper...

After 9 days in the car, totally bored of the gearing on these cars being so unlively. The 981 and forward are no better in stock form, well especially if you're not using it as a road car. Probably less noticable with a 3.2/3.4 with that little bit more torque, but still, I didn't even use 5th...

Fun was had.

Not that I can find for the 5 speed. There used to be for the 6 speed, however was £2k+ for a ring and pinion - regardless, I wouldn't pay that anyway. They aren't worth the investment as can't handle the power of a 3.8/4.0 for example (not for track anyway). My box is worth money 'as is' with...

I spent a while at the back end of last year getting/stripping VW/Audi transaxles (of the same gearbox code) in the hope 'the internet' was correct in the final drive/pinion being usable, but unfortunately nothing is compatible and the dimensions of the Porsche differentials are different to any...

Lots happened over winter, no original wiring left and it's pretty much at its 'lowest' weight now without getting stupid - around 1240kg. Had a shakedown at Oulton on Saturday after all the changes... It's much more fun having to work the little 2.7 hard, especially with the terribly...

It's on a 10x higher level now in all honestly 😂 Im literally just waiting on some CNC stuff arriving from China for the Porsche. I was going to do a thread, but I've spent the past few months since Oulton in November doing more major work to it and just not had the time. Everything is coming...

@Jamie86 @MarkCup @Matt Cup I can't reply in Marks thread, because cheapskate member, but I've done a few pairs of them now, both 5 speed and 6 speed. Dimensionally the cups are slightly different (on the CV end), but they use the same boot and shaft diameter, and it's a bit of work to...

Some footage from Anglesey back in August, I'll get round to Cadwell video and maybe write something up soon. Getting used to it a bit more now. Engine appears to be solid, as does pressure and temperatures.

At the moment, nowhere! When I get some time I'll start something (heading to Anglesey and Cadwell towards the back end of August). I'll update here when and wherever it may end up 👍
