vworks41 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Great job. could you add weights to the shift rods to make the change smoother if it is abit notchy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Great job. could you add weights to the shift rods to make the change smoother if it is abit notchy??Exactly what I was thinking. The GTi has a giant wedge shaped counter weight to make the change smoother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petar Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Great job. could you add weights to the shift rods to make the change smoother if it is abit notchy??No need for that. I already have OEM weights on both gearboxes. Gearchanges are a little harder than with one gearbox. It's smooth enough, but whit running engines gearchanges will be much easier and smoother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petar Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I will put rev counters in original clocks housing.Speedo will be on the left corner of dash under windscreen but I must make housing for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMischief Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 2x water temp and fuel levelPetar, get used to seeing the fuel gauge in that position What will the fuel tank capacity be, and also your expected range?? Living life "a quarter mile at a time" I thought you may have bought rev counters with a higher range than 8k rpm - once it's up & running & you get used to it, I would expect no less than some major engine mods to be done by yourself requiring at least 9k rpm Excellent engineering work all round, really looking forward to seeing it run. I've seen several twin engined autocross Mini's, they were pretty nippy too although nothing compared to the work you've put into this.

That is 40L, enough for 100km on foll throttle 8k rpm rev counters are enough because one day I will put turbos on Lupi (not N/A tuning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
