dogg1210 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 On the coilovers to stiffen it a bit more do you just lift the valve thing on top of the strut and turn to hard? Can you remember what you had the clicks at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah mate, did advise that as uniroyals are amazing in wet but Toyos can't keep up with em. Had a few 'moments' myself!Yeah I've got Uniroyals on the other car as wet track tyres and they were awesome a couple of weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogg1210 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Was looking at mfactory final drives as the box on vtis has already had carbon synchros put in would seem like a better idea getting a final drive instead of S80 they have a 4.7, 4.9, or a 5.1 hmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Best to find out what is better, S80 in general or new final drives.I had a blast on a civic5 meet one year with someone wih an S80 and it pulled really well out of the corners. Struggled to keep up Canny mind who it was, black deck IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogg1210 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah and the price for the mfactory fd is £450+vat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Handy to weigh up which is better for your setup. Including cost of parts/labour over cost of fitting a full box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It was me I've got a final drive out of an s80 (4.7) in my s9 box, but with a longer 5th gear from an integra ls to keep the revs low on motorways etc. Love it Got the fd second hand of eBay, and got the longer 5th from honda in the states (us model integra). Also needed a 1st gear from the teg type r to fit on the fd shaft (same ratio though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
