March 25, 201214 yr Author comment_592594 Diff has been completely re-assembled and ready to go in, with the Lines and Drums painted up and fitted today. 4.11 gears + 100km/h in 4th (top gear) = less annoyance of high engine revs, so we can't wait to fit it. :) If the revs are still a bit high with the 4.11s, we might look into finding a 5-speed for it. But the 4-speed will do for now. :yes: Woz & Josh :cool: Edited March 25, 201214 yr by JJT036 Report
March 25, 201214 yr comment_592644 do you know what ratio is in the current diff. 4.11 seems very short and good for getting a car off the line but bad for low rpm highway cruising. Report
March 26, 201214 yr Author comment_592710 Better than the diff that's in it now. It's around 4.5 or so. Either way, she needs a new diff under her. 4.11 gears should be fine. If it's still a bit too high, then we'll go shopping around for a K50 5-speed. :) Josh :cool: Report
March 26, 201214 yr comment_592727 good job on the car came up great... diff looks shiny! 5 speed isnt much difference... Report
March 26, 201214 yr Author comment_592733 good job on the car came up great... diff looks shiny! 5 speed isnt much difference... Cheers mate. :y: The new 4.11 diff should bring the revs down from 4000rpm+ to around 3700-3800rpm, but I'd still like to have a 5th gear, even though it only brings the revs down 500rpm or so. But, the 4-speed will do the job for now. :) Josh :cool: Edited March 26, 201214 yr by JJT036 Report

April 10, 201214 yr Author comment_596446 Got the new diff fitted. Also tracked down a KE55 Tailshaft because the one that was in it didn't line up to the Borgy, and the uni's were welded in by the previous owner. :blinks: We also fitted new-er Shocks because the one's in it were rooted. So it's all in, and she's running sweet. No more 4K revving it's tits off at 100km/h. :D Just for a laugh. The rear's on 13" stockies. :) Woz & Josh :cool: Edited April 10, 201214 yr by JJT036 Report

April 21, 201214 yr Author comment_598803 Nothing much new to update, other than driving her, taking photos of her, and getting a KE30 2-door for my younger brother Joel. Been getting some good photos (not bad for phone), and thought I'd share with you's. Coming home from the Melton Tabcorp Car Show. At the top of Jackson's Hill in Sunbury (tried to get a good city shot, but didn't happen). In the sun-light out front of the house. Next to the Joely-Rolla.
