Lyndon Galbraith - New Zealand

[LyndonAE86 NZ]

Hey everyone,

My name is Lyndon Galbraith and I am from Timaru,New Zealand.
I have built and owned 1 AE86 rallycar previously and I am just starting to build my second one.
I hope to use this forum for helpful knowledge and info you guys can give me, and to source parts to build the best AE86 rallycar in NZ.

Cheers

Welcome !
I enjoyed watching videos of you and your blue AE86 for the past 3/4 years, so that's really cool to see you here !

Have you got a close ratio T50 in it? Just youtubing you!

[LyndonAE86 NZ]

Hi,
Yes it had a close ratio kit in it but only 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears were changed.
In the earlier years of me owning that car I was using a 4.77 diff which was extremely tall and 5th gear was useless. I had a 5.1 ratio built and modified in 2009 and that made the ratios alot better but still not perfect.
I have since sold the car and recently talked the new owner into buying a 5.3 ratio which will be ideal and has closed the gaps up nicely.

My new car is getting a TRD close ratio T-50 and a 5.3 diff ratio to start with but later down the track I may go to a dog box with 1:1 5th gear and a 5.1 diff ratio....ratios are where its at!

Yeah I have the same issues, running 4.77 but on a stock box, Im going to change to a S15 rear end, and need to sort out a decent gearbox, very hard to do with reasonable cost though.

Im thinking of going Lampola dog box out of Finland.
All the Irish guys uses Sadev sequentials mated to a type-9 ford bellhouse & Atlas rear axles.

Lampola
$4000aud delivered, might do a group buy?
