Look at my shiney new gears...

Got home from work and had this nice cardborad box sitting here for me:




And what was inside this nice cardboard box i hear you ask...?

Well, it shouldn't break - it should make my car faster, until it tops out at 130....

IT's THIS....








And look very carfully:







Crap camera, but if your eyes are good you will recognise it as:

nice one! git

 

ooooo

 

what are they from?

tim

 

They are brand new to go into a my Mk2 16v gearbox.

 

NICE, USE f**kING MACRO!

 

It was on MACRO

 

Didn`t know mobile phone cameras had macro?

 

Why do you bother Tub's?

 

Very nice, I hope your going to be a little kinder to them than the last few sets

 

Lovely!

 

You could save time and money by simply smashing them to pieces, before actually having them installed?

 

So what's special about them (other than the badge)? Are they stronger, or are the ratios better?
Do tell

 

think he has a different final drive for the 16v box, ie accelerate quicker up to a slower top end - think thats right!

look awesome tho! vw motorsport! hmmmmm

 

How much did that set cost ya?

 

i reckon between 400-500??

 

In what way is the VWM C&P stronger than the standard parts?

 

oh man... that costs probably more then my car
you guys are nuts!

 

Yes they are a shorter final drive ratio.

3.94:1 rather than 3.67:1 (i think thats right for standard)

Means i will only do about 130 flat out - but get there faster.

They are stronger than a standard set, higher quality metal and treated.

Cost was in the region of 500

 

You'll still break everything else around the crownwheel and pinion tho!!
