I think people might be getting mixed up, with the gearbox gears and the rear differential gears?

Very usefull info there.

thanks :dance:

Always like to help! Lol. I have a TT diff here and i am tempted to do it :cool:

If you think about it! the gearbox transmits the power to the diff then to the wheels! so if you change the diff ratio, it will cut a fair amount of top speed, no matter what the final drive of the transmission does! The diff determines what it will do.

 

But have driven two 300s with shorter ratio differentials and its much more fun, even if you top out at 150ish

How much did you get that for?? did you use USPS and avoid Import tax?

I got the pinion set through Smithy last year I think they were £485 delivered, not long after i got them the turbo's went fubar sorted them at which point the engine broke, only just got the car back on the road so now thinking about finally fitting them.

any more news on the group buy on these guys ???

they havent responded to any of my emails doh, smithy is on the case for us.

 

thanks

Right finally heard back from S/Z this afternoon. They ain't interested in discounts for numbers etc as they only have 6 sets in stock and they sell at a reasonable rate, they purchase in batches of 10 at atime, so that is the minum required for a discount, which isn't much at all.

So currently these are $800 with shipping =£405.

Even USPS will not do away with the import fees as they will not lower value less than 50%,

so maximum fees are £85, minimum fees are £42, both plus post office fee of £13.

Fraid the best i could do is £440 delivered.

cheers

smithy

Ok Smithy thanks, they are not very helpful lol but thanks again, i might investigate the n/a diff in more detail.

 

thanks again
