No, did not buy.
will still need to get them done, but probably will use a local engineering shop:thumb unless the price is right for the others 😉 and they're ceramic coated😀😀
I now have a good 1800 Kombi box, now doing the research on the CV's.
I think you will find it safest to run either the bus and porsche 924/944/181 to a maximum of 17 degrees. You need to ensure you got the right CV before trying to run 22 degrees.
Currently reading Jeff Hibbards BajaBugs and Buggies. About a third of it is devoted to suspension setups and about two pages on CV options. A good read.
I think I feel more confused after reading it as there is so much that can be done.
G’day Craig
CV’s the Off Road racer’s nightmare, lol
Yes you can get 23 to 24 deg from 944 CV’s but don’t accelerate at this angle or it all goes south. You will save money in the long run going to 930 CV’s. Books like Jeff Hibbard’s Baja Bugs & buggies (published in the mid 80’s) are top books for playing, but when it comes to horsepower and racing it doesn’t stop there. To use 25 deg on our Racecar we need 930 CV’s, 4130 CV Boot Flanges, 4130 CV cages and we also use a CV polish bit to clearance new 930 CV’s. Ok this is Off Road racing and not black track but we don’t have the neck-snapping traction in the dirt.
Some Prices from Australian suppliers if it helps:
930CV from $130
Gearbox output flanges & axle flanges exchange $70ea
Chromoly cages from $100
Chromoly Boot flanges $45ea (a must)
The CV’s are also recognised as a weak link. Kombi CV’s can be used successfully if you don’t have huge amounts of travel in the rear, but almost everyone runs Porsche CVs. We actually run 7 series BMW CVs as they are the same size, shape and are almost as good as the Porsche ones at a cheaper price. We’ve had no problems with ours at all. A little bit of linishing and some specialised offroad cages and you’re on your way
Sounds like it could be a good option. Anybody here know any more on this?
they are the same as the 930 porsche CV which is bigger again in size than the 924/944/kombi CV........................big dollars for gearbox flanges and axles and stub axles
