i am bored and thinking about moving in a different direction. and i am contemplating selling the dog box and sequential shifter.

it is just an idea, i do not need to sell it, but again i dont need to sit on it forever like i do most things i change my mind about.

there are thousands and thousands of dollars wrapped up in this.....

REM / Isotropic micropolishing to the gearset/shafts.
Clutchmasters/Quartermaster hybrid triple disc clutch setup for VW/Audi 4cyl.
Wavetrac front diff.
custom geared straight cut gearset.
full Sequential Shift setup.
in 01E form.

i am not in any hurry, just thinking out loud.... looking to go lots quicker and possibly faster ;)

i did go 9.34 best ET, 167 mph fastest trap speed, and 1.400 best 60' to date.

what are you interested in for including?

the trans and Wavetrac are not separable. i wont pull the new bearings for the diff and put the old ones back in with the stock open diff.

the sequential shifter setup could be separated from the package. same with the clutch, it doesnt have to go with.

i will be putting 5/6 gears back in it when i get a chance. and a regular Torsen center diff as well.

i would like to see around $7000 not including shipping and dont NEED to sell it so that is an idea to start with, not including the $2800-ish sequential shifter or triple disc clutch..

the gearset is like a 4-6 month order, sometimes quicker, and goes for $8000. plus shipping.
the Wavetrac is around $1450 or so.
the REM/ Isotropic work was a few hundred.
the requisite bearings and seals and stuff was another couple hundo.
and i have new fluid to put in at almost $100.

You may try marketing it to the front engined Porsche set, they'd need a FWD tailhousing to replace the center diff and output but I'd think that this (less shifter and clutch) would be great for a NASA 924/44/51.

i dont even know if it can be converted to FWD only?

i wouldnt even know where to look to try and market it anywhere else.

i would like to sell it, as i wont be running the AWD car anymore, but if i dont then i dont.
