Hey guys i'm brand new to this, i'm seeking good advice!! Ive an AUIII XR8, the log books tell me its an ex victorian hwy car, prob suggests why ive an unusual diff ratio. Revs very high in 5th on freeways ect. Its got 225000km, the gearbox is tired, the whining bearings have told me so. I plan on getting the box rebuilt next wk, but come tax time i'd like to make my car go a lil harder. I understand that with the mileage i may need a rebuild, i like the car and would like to keep it for as long as i can, so if i have to rebuild it to ensure that, no probs. My budget is about 6-8 grand, what do u's suggest in way of engine upgrades, remembering i dont wanna spend the whole lot on mods if its gonna cook the motor and then i have to rebuild it after. I was thinking maybe to just rebuild it and put a stroker kit on it... is this a worth while idea?? Anyone got a better idea. Any help would be great!! CHEERS!!!
