Syncro to rallye

[Chris P]

Having just lost out on some Rallye running gear I would like to know what it takes to upgrade some Syncro running gear that has become available to Rallye spec.or would I be as well to go straight to Haldex?Once my 20vt Syncro is sold I am going R32 hopefully 4wd.I already have a Rallye diff and realise that I need rear discs and larger front ones(already have S2 calipers)but what about the rest.Your advice would be much appreciated.Cheers.Chris

Apart from the obviously different bodyshell, the main difference is the cable change gearbox, fitted instead of the rod change on the lesser powered models, & the front driveshafts will need to be changed as well to suit the box, there are slight mods to the propshaft as well, but you can live without them.

Thanks for the prompt reply Chris.It’s all due to go in 3 door shell with Syncro tunnel and boot floor.So yes I know I will need the tank as well.Was gonna run VR6 box with VR6Syncro bellhousing.So can I use Syncro driveshafts with G60 brakes?Are the arbs thicker on a Rallye?Are the driveshafts or cvjs stronger?Can I use Syncro wishbones?Etc,etc.Any suggestions much appreciated.All work being done professionally by the way.just wanna know what parts to collect.
Cheers.Chris
