Upgraded Cv's & Spool

[SPIKO]

Spiko,

Looks like a big improvement over stock.

Are you planning to have the ABS sensor gear installed on the new units ?

It is the spiked looking gear that is needed for Traction control and ABS.

No ABS or TC on my car Zapp.

Unfortunatly this doesnt look like a real option for us guys so far! U have to run the full spool, amoungst other stuff, which would take half the fun out of driving the car. I guess it would be a pig to drive round town, and also be highly illegal!! lol

Terry said if there is a market for us guys wanting to keep LSD then he would look at it then. But I guess that up to him and he is a long way from releasing anything LSD related. HE also said that the cost is around 6 grand. Which is way more then I am prepared to hand over lol. Oh well, just keep on waiting on for other stuff to be released, IF EVER, guess I sit here and wait another 2 weeeeeeks!! hahaha

I will part with around 3500,  but not 5 grand!!  That seems bloody extreme!!   Even the 3500 I am prepared to pay seems extreme!! lol So have these been finshed now or not?  Still two weeks away no dought!!!

I will post some pics soon and you will understand the cost and why? There is alot of work involved.

If you think 5K is alot you should see what the LS1 boys are paying for a cuctom 9 inch IRS with shafts apprx: $9000 fitted.

I think it's cheap, personally.

No offence mate, but you need to get your hand off it ... Who is paying $9K for a 9" conversion when it's not even needed! If anyone with an LS1 is doing that they need their head read or have an 8 second or lower car.

Just as an example is "BIG Shaun" (on LS1 forums) VY SS manual runs a 10.0 @ 141mph (pretty much full wieght) and the only mods to the drivetrain are as follows:

Gearbox: stock standard from factory T56 manual

Clutch: Textralia

Tail Shaft: stock standard from factory

Diff Housing: stock standard with addition of Harrop diff cover

Diff Centre: Kazz centre with 3.9 gears

Axles: standard GMH GTO axles

Cost all up: $3,000 - $3,500 (clutch not included)

And 9"? NOT NEEDED! The above is also a manual which is a hell of alot more agressive on the drivetrain than any auto will ever be that most of the fast T's are running.

Your obviously talking about the alternative, that is do nothing and wait till it breaks.

I do not doubt your mate is doing whatever he is doing. But I tell you this. There are alot of LS1 boy's running custom IRS 9" diffs that they purchase with CV,s from Diff Technics at around 9K they are obviously running auto's with transbrakes and Nitrous some of them any way and making alot of power.

I have seen many broken LS1 diffs and I asure you that my hand is not on anything buddy.

What your saying is there are guy's that are doing decent times without this expence. I AGREE but there are also guy's that are not and they are breaking them.

Keep in mind that I drove my car with over 500rwkws on the street at the track only 2 passes and I never broke my Cv's or diff. This doesn,t guarantee that if I do launch hard they will not break!!!!!!!!!!

I do not see where your getting your facts from but it's obviously not from the quarter mile scene, because you would already know what I am talking about!!

Never mind though, I just can't see what offended you. Maybe you drive a Expensive Daewoo that would explain it.

Regards

How's the new setup holding up spiko.

[XRDRIFT]

Yeah, Holden/GM never built something good, that's why they use the FORD 9" as the alternative to handle big power in serious applications and be reliable, not saying fords are any better by much but they are.

Anyways those CV's look FAT!!, hope they hold up, And good luck with the progress on your "T".

PS,wtf are Expensive Daewoo protagonists doin here? Its a Ford forum XR6t thing? Boot GTO out Jealous on what a 4.0 litre can do with a hair dryer beside it..pfff 6.0 litres who needs it
