I bought a V2 series 2 CV8 yesterday, it will be almost a week before I see it, as it is in Sydney and I am in Adelaide. I am wanting to know if anyone can tell me its factory diff ratio. I have a 3.73:1 and a 3.46:1 sitting in my shed and I am think I may change it but it could already have one of those.
I have picked the car up now.... It says its a 3.08.....
Should be 3.07
i work at holden and the come with 3.7s mate
Standard Monaros have 3.08:1 and CV8Rs came with 3.46:1. Holden gave the CV8R the shorter ratio and 10kw extra for a little more punch. I can cruise mine in 6th at 90k's turning a lazy 1250RPM.
Did you do a revs check to make sure it's not a Statutory Write off? By the looks of things it probably was a repairable write off. Ebay will become your new best friend. Good luck with it.
Its an Auto too dont forget. not a manual
I am putting my 3.73:1 diff in it on wednesday or thursday.... Should go a bit better. Also it goes in for paint and proper front bar tuesday. Airbag system is already fitted and I have ordered a new plate..... CYA L8R ..... Mafless tune and an OTR CAI will be in the near future.
P.S. I have already fitted the side skirts and purchased black headlights... I need extractos if any one can help...
Car has now been sold. I now have a VY SS Ute.
Hey why you up and sell it all of a sudden, it looks like a nice ride. Repaint the bonnet and bumper etc and good as new?
