Long Travel BS Thread

True that, but i tell ya what if i were to do it over I know Ive found a few 2nd gens with bad titles that would have been a lot cheaper than buying from a dealer.

 

If I could do it all over again I would've kept the truck bone stock, bought a RZR, a trailer, and beat the fuck out of that thing.

The Raptor is just a more expensive starting point for building a true prerunner.

 

I wanna build an LT Subie Forester I day dream about it all the time

 

Ah that would be sick! I would be ok with something along the lines of this...

 

Gymkhana all day FTW

S my D

 

im still dreaming of paddle shifters like those! If I am changing the trans on my truck eventually im going to attempt it haha.

 

good luck, sequential transmissions like those can be around $10,000 and higher

 

We use them in a lot of our VW's here at work. The DSG's are bad ass, there's nothing like shifting gears in .8 of second with the click of a button lol

And ya they're about 6k if in need of replacing

edit: and that's for a car with a measley 4cyl turbo.

 

supposudly you can build a t-56 dog box into one but they are around 5-6k alone. and add some air solenoids and such might be able to do it for around 7500

 

Drove my buddies VW golf that trans is incredible!

 

I'm saving my money for the Leduc swap meet.

 

oh boy what kind of tyres?

 

There's no air solenoids in the VW's

1st, 3rd, & 5th are all on one clutch
Then
2nd, 4th, & 6th are on another so there's not down time of changing gears and waiting for the clutchs to engage. Each gear is already on a clutch ready to go by the time you tell it to shift. DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox)

 

wrong forum, I dont see a Tacoma in that picture

 

Oh nice I did hear of the double clutch. I know nothing of transmissions but I smell what your stepping in. its all electronic to the clutch then to a servo/actuator?

 

Essentially, its basically an electronic manual valve body with clutches.

If that makes any sense at all lol

 

are those paddle shift?

 

Yes it does haha, Im an aircraft mechanic not a car mechanic but I can understand theory lol.
