Erm. Hmm.
ST165 Final Drive Ratio and then maybe a Solara 5th gear ratio from the states?
ST165 FDR will give 186mph me thinks. Solara will lengthen 5th even more.
I plan on getting the ST165 mod done in the new year....
Oh Paul ....
seriously Stu if your chasing top speeds in a MK1 your goona need to do soemething about the front end downforce or your gonna end up needin a pilots licence above 140 ! the MK1 really aint a top speed contender without auro mods IMHO as the the front will lift and keep lifting if you aint careful ! scoop the bonnet our and direct air around NOT over the windscreen and barge board the underside as a bare minimum, also gonna need to swap that rear spoiler out for them sorta speeds and raise the angle and hight of the deck fin !
cool,does this mean we can have a silly size spoiler and get away with it :thumbsup:Originally Posted by superchargedsam
yeah i knew front down force would be a problem
how hard is it to swap the 5th cluster ?Originally Posted by FourVeeSix
didnt i read that someone - i think quantumtools - has just removed the gt4 cluster as it wouldnt mesh correctly?
yes quantumtools it was
hey guys, fired up the the car last night after pulling the gearbox down and swapping all the clusters aropund again as the gt4 ones wouldn't mesh properly.
perhaps fire off a pm to see what the problems were?
I may be way off the mark here but I think it was that the gt4 gears wouldn't mesh properly...Originally Posted by lodgeman

hey guys just got the dilemma, the problem we had with the gt4 bits are as follows.
The gt4 main cluster would not mesh with our standard sw20 secondary cluster.
the two gt4 clusres will mesh together in our housing but not by mixing two different sets together.
This may not happen to all sets but be very careful in your assembly and check clearances, not like we did.
also use the bgb diagrams, it makes it alot easier.
hope that helps, any other questions pm me or stick em on the site i will check back more frequently
