Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A transaxle race car article going back to 2013 from Speed Hunters. I'm sure this may have been covered in PFA back in the day, but that was before my time.
Any other go fast transaxles out there? Post a picture or link to a write up.
Bonus points if its road registered.

That was/is a PFA member if I'm not mistaken
I was very close to buying this well sorted and quick Turbo from Buik Motorworks. It's now in Victoria and has done the Geelong revival etc
twin fish names

edit: I have literally just decided to have the dash redone on the Kalahari beige also ... paging @prostitch
I bought it as is & only did a few things to make it a little better/reliable, new ECU & engine wiring loom, new race fuel tank, new roll cage & seat etc... apparently it was built in QLD & as far as i know its a stock first gen 1uz Lexus engine with all 924 turbo running gear, Volvo 4 piston calipers on the front & Wilwood pedal box. Not a show car but well built
My little baby, which you have already seen in the flesh
@brian in buddina
, but I might as well share to get some more content in this thread.
Still street registered and regularly driven on the road as it is my only car, and it does everything my motorbike daily can't do.
I take it to local sprint days for fun. It's quite capable out on track, I am in the 58's on the Queensland Raceway Clubman Circuit, which is only around 2 seconds slower than what a well driven 997 cup car will do.
Basic rundown:
- Factory 2.5 8v Turbo, rebuilt by me back in 2016 with some go fast bits added, makes 375hp at the wheels.
- Bilstein coilovers
- 993 big reds on the front on cayenne 330mm discs, stock rear brakes
- Turbo S gearbox with factory LSD
- 17x9.5 wheels all round running 240/610r17 slicks
- Still has full factory interior and all original body panels and glass, so its pretty heavy at around 1300kg.
thanks
@Timm
Your" little baby"...
- Factory 2.5 8v Turbo, rebuilt by me back in 2016
what was the condition of the motor? how many KM at rebuild? How were the bores, no scoring? Did you re use the original valves? Any issues to mention? Any changes from factory?
some go fast bits added,
What bits? where you happy with your added bits,? In hindsight would you do anything different?
makes 375hp at the wheels.
Is the 375 in one go or did you work up to it?
what is the next step, motor wise?
- Bilstein coilovers
spring rate? any other suspension tunes/adjustments, ride height? original sway bars?
- 993 big reds on the front on cayenne 330mm discs, stock rear brakes
couple years ago you had Wilwood calipers on, why did you change?
- Turbo S gearbox with factory LSD,
where did you get this from? has it needed a rebuild?
- 17x9.5 wheels all round running 240/610r17 slicks
changed to square!
-BONUS POINTS!
Still has full factory interior and all original body panels and glass
, so its pretty heavy at around 1300kg
any plans to add lightness? like an alloy torque tube, is it Paul??? in Melbourne?
thanks Timm, gotta get you out for the next drive.
