Amazing, thanks for that break down @jamesinc .
On another note, on the weekend i finally fried my clutch doing skids, it still drives but grabs very late (last inch or so). I've been waiting for this to happen for some time as an excuse to pull her off the road and make moves on the motor and drivetrain. $$ going towards the following, any resources would be much appreciated.
- I'm going to take a leaf out of head honchos brapwagon thread and order a Stage 3 clutch
- Resurfaced flywheel while i'm at it.
- The m46 seems fine to me, rarely crunches so not sure whether to touch it or not. Rebuild kits are fairly exy
- Diff...welded for now, locker down the track if i can't live with welded.
- Mmmmotor. Do i do a swap for a b230ft, do i rebuild the b230e and go 16v conversion and keep the k-jet or go 531 and turblow. Whatever i do i will likely be taking it to someone with the means and know how as the side of the road in Bronte is a bit red hot (any takers?)
- Stiffen the thing up: new springs, shocks, bushes, braces etc....
Evidently I have a lot of research to do... Budgeting around 3k FYI
