Look this video, my friend Gtvpp (camera inside) has these springs for years , and with only an ALfetta 2 l...

Re: A cheap way to fix a weak point of transaxles's gear box

Nice job is polish it like brand nexw one and then using a "varnish" for motorcycle motor or gear box casing. I'll stay nice and will be easy to clean. http://www.restom.net/resizer.php?src=photos/produit-1224785807-1224785810.jpg&width=648&height=451 http://www.restom.net/moteur-p...

Of course a 300 HP with 38 NM torque will break it (an everything in fact) Durind these 8 years he w...

Re: Front suspensions almost like real racecars...

2) How to move a standard koni to a coilover
Best results if you tune the internal hydraulic of koni of course.
This part with a koni and you have a adjustable coilover suspension !

A standard spring like STAC diam 160 mm

Front suspensions almost like real racecars...

We all know suspension kit from intrax, RSR .... Very nice adjustable springs... but a little expensive when your target is just trackdays. We use 2 cheap ways to make the front suspensions stiffer, first is very cheap and very efficient but not ajustable. 1) Buy 2 springs 10 euros each one ! Photos...

Re: A cheap way to fix a weak point of transaxles's gear box

75evo, which car and road use only or trackdays only...

More than 200 HP 9X41 are not reliable at all, many friends broke it during trackdays.

Under 160 hp they are very reliable even using trackdays.

10X43 is the shorter possible and stil reliable with powerfull motor.
