Paul's VZ SV6

[PaulSV6]

I did the calculations Richie & found that the 3.08 would only be 7% out while the 3.46 was 21%.

All in all 3.08 is more practical as i found out it offers much better take off response than the 2.87 without compromising fuel & top end speed to much.

Ill be selling the 2.87 to Andrew, as the diff in his Calais has developed a clunk & my diff has only just ticked over 70k while Andrews has done close to 140k

Yeah my diff supposedly was only 24k's old and has a slight back lash as well which is annoying....

Andrew's aint the best either, when we where coming back from Melbourne, we got off the M7 & came to the first roundabout there was a horrible whining when we slowed down.

Yeah, well its not my diff, mine's fine. I just wanna higher ratio!

Hey boys n girls,

Well after spending about 6 hours finally have installed the 3.08 diff. Much better take off in first & better pickup in 2nd & 3rd.
Its off to Gregs on Monday night to get the speedo recalibrated & a few other things fixed up.

Pics are up too.

Owwee, Nice update,

Like seeing things being pulled apart, to be put back together better :devil:

Bit of an oil leak on your old one? New one looks clean though, hows it feel?

 

[PaulSV6]

Thanx Boys,

Haha, not that i noticed. prob just a slight trickle but i never saw any oil on the garage floor. I just gave the new one abit of a scrub. Feels much better than old one. Prob why Holden fitted 2.87 diffs the SV6 & Calais was getting good fuel eco with the 190 motor.

Well finally finished the sound sys install

Having a few probs with gettting pics up
