Very interesting - just ran the figures through a gear calculator and the 6-speed would be lovely along with the oem 4.3 final. Almost like a quaife/trd cose ratio box but with an additional low first gear for queing and traffic jams

Actually... since I've been tooling around with a 3.72 final drive in my AE71... (3.5 1st in the T50) I've come to the thoughts that the 3.8 first, and the 3.9 final drive still allow easy starts... but also allow a nice rpm drop(for economy) for 6th. Use 1st for starts, 2nd through 5th for close ratios, and 6th for mileage

send an email to Joe - [email protected] tell him Dan sent you :wink:

Achileas! My lost twin brother! Hahaha, i just came to check on your replies and i see this.. look what i just bought a couple of days ago!

Good to hear from all of you guys.. feels like getting together with a band of brothers, with whom i/ve fought the war.

Well 106 Rallye is nice, feels kinda like fwd hachi with even more oversteer Needs some work tho in correcting the suspension geometry etc. i just hope it will work

[ditn]

I can confirm this
106 gti/rallye really feels like a fwd ae86.

Classic

Now drop a 16V in it

Very popular here in Greece back in the days.
I ve driven some fantastic examples, one of them 195 PS in single throttle body.

By the way, since you are my lost twin brother, please prepare a bed for me in your house, cause I dont think I will stay on this country much more

Not alot of space here, but you can have my bed and ill take the couch! Although im not sure thers much gold to be dug here either.. But somehow i feel a positive atmospheere when talking to like minded people..

Had my first dose of liftoff and braking oversteer in rallye today.. im gonna like this car

195 hp in a 106 chasis sounds like a neck injury

[nmwisima]

195 with a single throttle.

They ve done 250 in ITBs and the strongest I ve driven is 327 on a turboed Saxo

I m not after gold mate :wink:
