Morning all,
Just a heads up to say that after much aggro, I've managed to get some improved synchro rings sorted out for the jc5's.
These aren't designed for fast gearchanges - that's just how the box is designed. What these synchro rings are aimed at is giving a significant improvement in...
I ran the 197 head on mine and ran the fully variable vvt on the gen90. No oilways redrilled at all. I've looked at all the oilways on the 1*2 and the 197 head, and there's no requirement to drill oilways. You just need to sort the dephaser solenoid.
The early ph1 cranks are what you need as they're the heaviest and according to form the strongest.
197/200 is the next one down in terms of weight, but it's been balanced from the factory to withstand 7800rpm.
172 ph2 crank is the lightest and wankest one. You only have to compare the design...
Cheers gents. Not been on in a few days, so only just got round to replying.
Unsure if the car is staying or going currently, but the akrapovic will most likely be sold regardless now.
@Markmec the parts to fix it are about £70-£80. I can strip and rebuild the box for you as well if you're interested?
Drop me a pm and we can discuss further if you like.
In that case, full stiff rear, half way on the fronts and then dial both ends in to suit. If it's too stiff at the rear and a bit flighty, turn the damper down one click.
The anti roll bar is welded into the rear axle mate at each end. You could try grinding the weld back and smacking f**k out of it, but how successful you'd be, I couldn't say. You'd also need it in a jig so you don't distort the axle mate.
