did you know…..

that a vw motorsport rallye uses 17/23 ratios from the transfer box and a t4 rear diff with no VC ?????

We do now thanks.

Since I got a T4 I’ve said underneath it’s like a Golf2 Syncro photocopied up to 1.5x size.

Bears out, doesn’t it?

I know that marcel (dutchdub) had provided that info a while back on VWVortex. The T4 rear diff uses the same ratio and mounting configuration as the Haldex diff that is so popular a swap. There are a few photos circulating the web that show this exact VW motorsport Rallye set-up.

Has anyone got any links to these pictures?

Here are some links to some images from a PDF file I have. I included some nice VWMS rear arm photos as well! Quality is poor but you still see enough to make you drool! []

wow! they’re the toys to get!

[Chris S]

For Real Toys, Pascal & I recently (A couple of months ago) went to see someone with 5 (yes 5) Golf Rallys, 2 were road Rallys, but the other 3 were VW Motorsport Rallys & included the 3rd placed car in the New Zealand Rally (when was that? 1991 I think) he had boxes & boxes full of things like 6 speed 02C dog change gearboxes, carbon fiber propshafts & driveshafts (with 110mm flanges) VW Motorsport Rally rear diffs like you have never seen, with no cv unit, it was a real treat & the 6 hours or so we spent being shown around wasn’t half long enough.

Blimey! that’s toys to behold

[re2]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mk21147]

Will he sell any parts??

[Dannysyncro1.8]

news to me, how do the motorsport cars handle on tarmac though? with no vc or centre diff, both axles would want to turn at the same speed? i thought you need something be it a vc or centre diff to split the axles.

[Chris S]

Next time I am there I will get some photos!
