don't think that there's a longer final drive in standard b-series boxes than ours... see here: http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/Bgears.htm

dc2 one will stop gathering dust and will be put into action

and if I just put the 4.7fd in and left 5th as it was it'd be 3900 at 70mph http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalculator.php?kmh=0&tirewidth=195&tireprofile=55&wheelsize=15&tirediameter1=23.44&maxrpm1=8000&finaldrive1=4.26&gearratio1=3.23&gearratio2=1.9&gearratio3=1.36&gearratio4=1.034&gearratio5=0.848&gearratio6=0&trannytype=&tirewidth2=195&tireprofile2=55&wheelsize2=15&tirediameter2=23.44&maxrpm2=8000&finaldrive2=4.7&gearratioa=3.23&gearratiob=1.9&gearratioc=1.36&gearratiod=1.034&gearratioe=0.848&gearratiof=0&trannytype=&tranny=Calculate+Transmission+1+%26+2

I don't mind dropping it down to 4th if I need a quick boost, and the rest of the gears should be nice and lively

This is what the m-factory gear calculator works it out as... http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalcula ... on+1+%26+2 The red lines are the standard S9 ratios and the blue are what I'll end up with

lots longer... longest 5th for b-series boxes. looking forward to not keep trying to change up when I'm already in 5th

really reccomend the bosch aero wipers - have always had the sparco ones, but the bosch ones are much better. better made too

got my old arb bolts extracted today and some new ones popped in... the bolts on the other side (that hadn't sheared) were rounded off and probably gonna go pretty soon. the guy had to drill the sheared ones, re-tap them and ended up putting a third bolt in that side! it's great now - it's like when i first got the arb fitted lesson of the tale... don't use bolts from b&q to hold an arb onto your chassis

it would be a crackers mobile the looks of wtf when you smoked someone would keep you warm all winter long!

x2 I'm about 5'11 (with a long back) and my head nearly touches the roof with mine. do quite like the position though compared to the standard seats... would just prefer them to be a bit lower. i used the brackets off the standard seats onto the ep3 rails.

sweeeet

1"£££$££"!! cheers Dave been planning them for long enough sick of seing the drive train parts in the conservatory

been too busy sleeping / being a dad, but that's settling down now so thoughts are turning back to tinkering. went though a period of loads of punto's round here... was 3 used to park round ours... until they broke
-
plus... i seem to have parked my car up a wall (ctrl+r) and i hope that noone's offended by the reflection of the punto...

more than the clear coat.... down to the undercoat / primer still honda allan said he'd see about getting my 4.7 final drive & ls 5th in the next few weeks... busy times for tubs - nowt for about a year, then service, and a planned trip to the body shop / sports cat / gearbox awsomisation process (inc clutch & dc2 flywheel) all in a few weeks.... YEY
-
boo... just had to book in another trip to the body shop - noticed a white patch on the passenger door at the jet wash this morning, sprayed it and a patch of paint came off - someone must have hit the door in a car park and damaged the paint enough to loosen it... arse
