fuel is expensive enough. cheers for info.

so putting a diesel box in a petrol van will have what effect?

70 mph on petrol box - 3600 rpm
70 mph on diesel box = ???

i don't mind a bit of noise, although... the fuel economy will suffer. Just love hearing a decent exhaust note but that requires sticking your foot down all the time.

pretty certain mine is a late type system but i am sure the early will fit.

mine is a 1.9 injection (gw) i think.

i like the look of the simpler speedshop system.

big price difference between brickwerks and speed shop eh?

hello,

any one got a recommendation for a full stainless exhaust for my 84 westy? (1.9 Injection).

cheers paul

well. i reckon first things first. i am going to get the VC sorted. Then if i find myself looking at some crazy ass off road action i will head down the locker road.

just been out and checked, prop is there and turns when trying to tug itself out the mud.

hummm... i just did a little research and i just came to the same conclusion. So i need a VC?

where to buy?

first drive of the new syncro today and .......... yep. stuck in the mud. i need a diff lock. its as bad as a std bus in the mud with out. it just sat there spinning nsr wheel.

very disappointing syncro experience.

so i guess need some research time.

hello,

i have just bought a 87 syncro and it doesn't have front or rear diff locks? do i need them? can i retro fit?

cheers woolie

Bounce, please introduce yourself and give a location nearest in your Profile, many thanks No Uk events before end of march for me to cut my teeth on? Possibly some informal ones, but no, not Syncronauts official events.. SW france a long drive up to Normandy but that'll be worth it methimks... i'l...

i am going to sound like a real wet behind the ears type now but basically i like the look of a chunky looking off road type tyre. I have no idea if they are mud & snows? or what? The syncro isn't a daily just for fun and a bit of off road action. & my syncro doesn't have diff locks.

i'd also like to know that.

And the 15" wheels are we talking about steels from another VW? on a stock syncro, can you run 15's with the 205 at tyres without clearance issues?
