    While doing this (Adjustable rear camber & toe in Guide) last night I faithfully captioned all the photos and the captions didnt show when I pasted them into the post oh bugger [:(]
    btw, the post has already had over 130 hits in the last 12 hours since I put it up, I know maybe I used 30 or so while building but that is a lot of hits in a very short time [:D] Shows we are doing something right eh [;)]

    Progress report, one side of the wishbone is now fully adjustable, both the inner & outer mountings are ready and functioning, I started the on the other side today, hopefully it will be completed this week end then I can post the full photo guide within a week or so,
    I will post some photos here later this evening.

    Photo guide now up and running, I will try and take some better photos later [;)]

    To run relatively safely without to many breakages, I would suggest not more than 140 BHP for the standard Syncro 020 rod change box, or 175 BHP for an 16v uprated Syncro conversion box fitted with a diff bolt kit.
    For the standard 02C cablechange box a maximum of 220 BHP, or with an early Rallye ASU code box fitted with a a cast iron transfer box & diff bolt kit 275 BHP.
    Other later gearboxes will withstand more power & abuse!
    I realise that these figures are on the conservative side considering what power people have put through these boxes and they only express a personal opinion of what I would be happy to run with and are not absolute figures,
    but as a general rule of thumb the formula is more power = more breakages, well actually its more torque = more breakages and once you get over 250 BHP you will also start to encounter problems with the rear diff,
    Driving style also has a lot to do with how long the drivetrain will last,

    Q) When I do connect up the prop and have the potential for 4WD, do I need to have the vacum line connected or the wiring to the rear diff?
    A) yes
    For diagrams of the rear diff have a look at photos chris s – technical info – then the last 4 diagrams in there
    it shows how the rear diff vacuum etcetera works

    The freewheel is turned on and works all the time, it is locked out and turned off when you are in reverse so that you have 4wd when going backwards, as you patently do not have 4wd I cant see it making any difference, just make sure the rear diff has oil in it please as even though it is not driving it will still be rotating and will get hot, also do not remove the rear diff mounted control box

    Probably Haldex as it will handle lots of both, or there is a French V8 in line (not transverse) conversion using (I think) Audi Quattro parts that has to be the ultimate

    Yes please, as I like to leave prospective new members waiting for a day, that gives any newly infected computer time to show up in a spam database.

    I have a 3 piece prop shaft for sale here in the Netherlands, but it will be a lot cheaper to buy one of Les as the shipping costs will be less and you wont get hit for import duties/taxes
