I have a 6 speed dog box with straight cut final drive.
That sounds interesting. I will look more into gearboxes further down the road.

First let me say that this build is truly epic!!!! All kinds of unique, rediculiously expensive, and purpose built parts with amazing attention to detail. All I can say is :notworthy:
On the straight cut gears have you looked into the set Pat had made for his car by Franavehicles. I bet they will still make it. Here's the link:

Haha, thanks man. I am aware of the Frana set Pat uses, as said it's something I'll look into a bit later.

Awesome work with the SSS I-shifter and wiring Rene!
Thanks mate. The shifter is still uncharted terrain for ours cars I guess, but without exploring new stuff we'll never know! I found more positive feedback from users in Australia so I'm looking forward to actually testing it.

Sitting down with a beer admiring all your work mate... she will be a totally different beast.
Long time no see Anhar. I'd happily give you another ride after all work is done, the difference should be noticeable! :smokes:

Youve sourced a TTE WRC crank for it??
As awesome as that is... im wondering why??
Strength isnt an issue, so the only reason i can think of to use one is weight?
Thats then some big $$s for a small weight saving.
Engine wise I'm starting from scratch. After working out a sweet deal with Wevers Sport, the difference with a new stocker was small enough for me to go for the TTE crank. It is indeed lighter (not sure how much exactly yet) and is said to be bullet proof, which I like!

I LOVE IT......I think we all have a Love, Hate relationship with our 185's.
True story. And so worth it imo, can't beat the character and rally history.

Holy crap a TTE WRC crank? What are the benefits of it?
Weight reduction of both rotating mass and wallet, strength.
