God almighty, how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking???

[OuTTback]

I'm thinking at least 4k for that new 6 cogger.

 

Nice engine build.

 

$ + time * enthusiasm = bragging rights

lol...the 6 speed box was about US$8k delivered (including freight and GST).

 

I am so close to finishing now but I keep running into little issues which bugs the hell out of me!

 

O/s items are:

- mill the rear stud axels down 2mm to fit into B4 hubs;

- check if the Driveshaft Shop drive shafts I have fits the rear;

- get a one piece tailshaft because the carbon tailshaft I have does not fit;

- dogbones for the rear Brembo,

- bigger drum brakes so I can use the Sti discs which are cheaper than the conversion ones;

- the Driveshaft Shop front driveshafts don't fit! so annoyed...will have to see why the hub cv end is different and fix up;

- custom intercooler piping;

- wastegate piping made up;

- Cat installed and exhaust welded up; and

- Complete rewiring with dash taken out etc...

- Start and Tune!!!

 

I promised my kid this year but looks like it will be next year!

Tailshaft that doesn't fit! Will sell for the right price too...if anyone is keen? Driveshaft Shop part number is SUSH2-CF.

CV difference to sort out. Let me know if anyone knows what to do here??

 

​

 

Doesn't sit right at the back:

​

 

And is abit short so does come out all the way:

​

 

Any help appreciated!

Strip down the cv and see if you can swap end over?

[ap7]

That be the worst come scenario for me...The Driveshaft Shop cv's are rated to 800hp and the factory ones won't handle the power I will be putting thru it. Bit over all these now!

If you paid for them and were told they'd fit id be taking them back and telling them they forked up

Where did this mad pitch stop mount come from? It looks like a top bar from a tractor's 3PL hitch, only super fancy
