Hey guys, not as bad as originaly thought, the supporting bolts holding the side cover plate where the diff housing is had come loose which allowed oil to escape which made it look like the case had split, so it looks like all is needed is to realign the diff and tighten the bolts. Looks like...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows if the front main case of the Audi 01E is the same on the quatros and on the two wheel drive versions. I'm looking for a main case as I have just split my case on the left hand side where the drive shaft comes out to the front of the main case where it...

I have never given it much thought of what goes into shipping and what wasted air is worth, I guess that why IKEA is doing well as there is no wasted space when all their products are designed aand packaged into flat packs to reduce wasted space. I have the boys at touring car spares giving...

Thanks Frank for the heads up, I'll give them a call. Hi D, what I'm getting is the wide body lexus suspension from a BTCC from touring car spares. Everything including the fron and rear cross members, upper and lower arms both front and rear, roll centre corrected hubs, sway bars, quantem...

Hi guys, I need help to import parts from West Sussex Great Brittan to Sydney Australia. I'm building a Lexus IS200 track car and I'm importing suspension part from a BTCC lexus which would be loaded on a crate. I'm finding it hard to find a shipping company to do it at a reasonable price. Time...

Hey guys, I'm working on a Valiant Charger with a new gen 6.1L nemi motor. We're running an after market EMS and I need to know the tooth count of the Crank and Cam trigger wheels. I've looked everywhere with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. regards

Flatchat, the weather has been nice this weekend and had some fun in the car. The clutch is going great aand I'm loving it. Don't know about the tyres as they're strugling. Hey Paul, the make of the rosejoint I'm not sure of as they're specially made for Motorsport Connections and they're...

Earlier this year I decided to upgrade all the rose joints to chrommoly billet ones with teflon inner bushes. WHAT A MISTAKE. On my way to pick up a groom to take him to his wedding, the lower A arm rosejoint on the passengers side (left) broke in half while going over a small bump. Luckely...

Yeah it's been a while since my last post but I have been buisy destroying clutches. This year alone I have welded one clutch and completly destroyed another and the car has been off the road for three months. I have worked closely with Jim from Race Clutch Australia and have installed his...

Hi Mudgey, The only time I have had it logged is when we were dynoing the car. It was a 22deg C day and the average inlet temps were 11deg C with a peack of 16deg. When we hit full throtle, the AC cuts out and robs no power from the motor. The tank is big enough to supply the intercooler with...

I've had some long talks with Jim Berry as he seems to be the #1 clutch guy in Aus. He came very highly recomended by a number of different sources including Chris (Flatchat). He's a very clued up guy with over 35 years in the racing industry. The old clutch, flywheel and input shaft have all...

Racer Dave, PM sent. The transaxle to crankshaft is aligned using a dial indicator and from memory the reading was 0.09mm (0.0035")of missalignment and tilton indicates no more than 0.25mm (0.010"). Spud, the clutches which I have been using are a single 9.5" in diameter with a clamp force of...

I've just gone through another clutch and I need to address this problem once and for all. The clutches which I have been using are said to be rated at 800hp to 1,000hp (which I think is bulls##t) and no mention of their torque rating. What I'm looking at is going to a twin or tripple Tilton...

Hey Bernie, I have received your PM and I can still email you some more info or photos if you require. I needed to take the rear panel off to get to the gearbox as I was left stranded on the weekend because some lazy bum decided to install a pin in the selector shaft which was too short and it...

Hi Graeme, I've read a post which you indicated that you have the 01E six speed workshop manual and and if email is provided that you could send a copy. I've been searching for a while for this manual and if the offer still stands, I would greatly appreciate it if you could send a copy over to...
