GT4 Zed Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 You can import or buy via the traders here but expect to pay between 500-800quid depending on their mark up. I suspect the tuners here will charge 4-6hrs labour as it similar to fitting a diff. Personally for about the same cost I'll fit an LSD instead which will enhance your handling or do both at the sametime. I've done the LSD myself and can tell it will transform your car. Pm if you want more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) If your in the London area I can't reccomend Julian at garage-d enough he fitted my 2 way other weekend for about £330 all in with new oils the lot Edited July 6, 2015 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffGTV Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 ok...so pardon my ignorance...is the 4.08 much shorter to improve acceleration as std is a bit leggy? Given that HR is over 300bhp, it doesnt seem very rapid off the mark What UK in gear road speeds do you get with various final drive options? If gearbox is getting tired, is it cheaper to recon and fit different intermediate gears - are there alternative stronger gearboxes that offer shorter gearing and will fit without excessive mods? Is there a suitable flappy paddle manual? ..just shooting the breeze.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) It's a GT car and weighs in at around 1.4 ton so will never be super quick of the line (having said that my old 350 was pretty smart away but that had a wee bit more than 300HP) The mid range is where these cars come into their own A lower final drive ratio will improve acceleration but you trade off against top speed. This is not the same as an LSD which is designed to lock the back axle to improve traction. Hope it helps EDIT: Ref the LSD if your a drifter you are using the diff to lock the back axle to improve control - thought I'd get that in before the drifters crucify me Edited July 8, 2015 by Keyser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
