You'd be very surprised at just how hot they get when they're under heavy use mate. To fit a cooler imo is excessive on the jc5. I only did it on my f20 as it was a 2.5k box.
Remember if you duct air in you've got to get it out as well. You'll get a lot of drag otherwise and it may even lead to...
Sorry mate - only just seen this! Yeah they take some real hammer on the selector forks. All it takes is a bit too much heat to break the oil down and your into items getting damaged. The gripper'd add a lot of additional heat into the oil as well.
I used to run a gearbox oil cooler on my Quaife...
Corrected roll centres will make you even faster mate. They'd even make a car good on cheap coilovers tbh. They definitely work well with cup shocks and Cooksport springs! @lesley can confirm this.
That'll do nicely on the road. Stiffer at the rear for the track for definite though I'd say. Fronts might need upping as well though. Best advice - try it and adjust it if you feel it's necessary.
It'll be heat and the oil not doing its full lubricating job that's caused the tips on the selector fork to melt/wear Russ.
I'll be on it for those nuts as well mate - not forgot, just had a bit of s**t on as discussed via text.
4100 are sportline 1's (which is what I recall @Martin. is on?) and 5100 are the sportline 2's. They're an inverted damper on the 2's. It's also what I've got on my cup. They truly are an awesome bit of kit, but the penis that you have to deal with is, erm, not so awesome. Nice bloke, but...
Yep. Horrible things. Ruin the scrub geometry if you go to big. Look sick innit bruv at maccys though.
I run 6.5x15 turinis and they're et35 and I'm on 205/50 15 R888's. I also have an additional track width widening on the front from the fancy hubs.
What's the effect on the roof? It looks quite good! And I'm not usually a fan of stuff like this. Wrap looks very impressive too!
What's the score with the front number plate as well? I'd just run without one and risk the pull by Johnny law!!
More than one way to skin a cat mate. Just put the 200 internals in a 1*2 block and convert the 200 head to the 1*2 cambelt setup. That's what I'm doing with mine
Yeah you could do, but the block is different to the 1*2 block. The bolt pattern for the gearbox is also different so it means a different box to the jc5 as well, so that means different shafts. It's not impossible though mate, just requires a little thought and fabrication.
