Re: Roaring Forties #36 - Mark Worthington\'s GT40
Oliver, I have an Audi 016, fitted with a Quaife LSD and a 3.89 final drive, that I got with the car. The shift linkage installed thus far is set up for that box. I also have an low-mileage 01E 6-speed that I bought from a guy in Germany. Ultimately, I intend to use the 6-speed. However, I may build the car with the 5-speed and save the transaxle upgrade for later. One of the things that has been slowing my build is my tendency to become distracted with "upgrades" along the way. I've decided that I'll build the car with what I have now and save the upgrades for winter projects I can do after I get the car on the road. Upgrades will include better brakes with a triple-master-cylinder setup, a rear anti-roll bar, transaxle and engine oil coolers, in-car video, etc. I've asked Hershal and RF to get me the information for what I'll need to upgrade to the 6-speed transaxle.
