lol, could go c2 vts inlet? £1k for it would be a bit much IMO but then it would look mental.

Worth spending that money on a nice diff and a Be box - should taker a bit of abuse !!

I'm going to get 3/4 sets of Be bits made up when I do mine after the summer so will have some bits going spare

adzvtr · 19th March 2010, 12:29

m8, if u manage it, i will happily help u fund the be project it helps us both,
2 of everything lol.
as for the intake, i will keep the boost down while i save lol, or i have another crazy idea, which if done could be awsome and one off.

Liking the sound of it !!

Yeh it'll be cheaper to get a batch of bits made up than one off's so shouldn't be too bad. Only really need spacers for behind the hubs, and then both gearbox mounts. Will be a matter or sorting linkages and the drivers shaft seperately.

You run the Be hubs, which can come from a lot of cars.

Then you have them turned down to 37mm OD to fit inside the MK2 Saxo wheel bearings - and use a little spacer inbetween the hub and the wheel bearing to maintain the right offset.

Just means you don't have to touch the passenger side Be shaft, just fit it - then just need to get the drivers shaft shortened, or a custom part made up in the right length to go inbetween the intermediate bearing and the hub CV.

Not sure what i'll do with the drivers shaft shortening yet - will see how much getting the right length section made up and fitted would cost.

adzvtr · 19th March 2010, 12:45

ah, i might bite the bullet on the shafts from at, i know expensive, but if i can save on the rest it might be a little better, i can retain my abs then 2.

wasnt planning on this but, as i am stuck for things to do due to awaiting parts now,
so i decided to strip the engine bay, its a little confusing in there with all the wires,
and pipes, and a shedload of swearing with sterring rack and cables, bu after a couple hours i am now left with this

all ready to be steamed then prepped for spraying, not bad for me on my tod.
