Re: PowerMods911 - GTV6 2.8 TT - Race Car
Here are some pics and dimensions of the ball joint. I've removed the rubber boot to give us a better view. It's 44m diametre fit into the LCA. SO it leave enough meat on the LCA.

Re: Andy´s white GTV6 (CZ)
The car sure will stand out and turn heads. Is it the reflection but the 2 outer headlights seem to have definite lines running through them making it look as if thye are cracked or broken .

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
Mats, that engine looks mighty neat.
Curious regarding the need for the extra support welded and bolts along side the support beams in the engine compartment. I've been toying with the idea, as I had to do some cutting on mine to fit the turbo actuators.

Re: PowerMods911 - GTV6 2.8 TT - Race Car
Kevin, yes the entire front suspension is off, as is the steering rack. Started fitting the original 2.5 GTV suspension on. So far only done part of the left. Fitted the left lower control arm, went well. Then onto the top contol arm, what a mission. Couldn't get the old one off. Eventually had to t...

Re: PowerMods911 - GTV6 2.8 TT - Race Car
Giuliettevo2, friends at GM have come back to me and although not 100% certain they believe its from a A4 or AQ series Komando. Apparantly no stock in South Africa (SA) so I'll battle to get my hands on OEM part, I'll look around for some NON OEM part. As a thought I'll post the dimensions on the fo...

Re: PowerMods911 - GTV6 2.8 TT - Race Car
I bought the car with the mods, so I'm not 100% sure. I've been told it's a chevy 2 ball joint. Went to GM motors with the sample and true to form they couldn't tell me. I suspect it's a 1977 Chevy 4100 or 4200 ball joint. I'll keep enquiring, there are a couple of suspension specialist shops in Pre...

Re: PowerMods911 - GTV6 2.8 TT - Race Car
Having battled for more that 6 months to break into the 1:16's at zwartkops, I felt that the front suspension mods were far to complicated for me to understsnd and come to grips with. I always battled with understeer. Finally I decided to fit the stock standard GTV6 front suspension back on. Took th...

Re: A new GTV6 2.5 entry into SA Marque car catergory
Guiseppe, let me know when you intend going out for test runs, I also want to test my handling once I have the front suspension back together, aiming for 21st April. Hang in there, the times will come. I battled to break into the 16's, did it once then went backwards into the high 17's :oops:. Took ...
