T5 = What are all the bits it should come with? Don't want to buy and then fall short with something missing.

Pacemaker's = What's the type everyone recommends for EF?
Is it the 4480 6>3>1?

Silly me :P, I finally found the Pacemaker site, FINALLY. I'll get myself some PH4480 Competition Headers. They are slightly smaller in the Primary and Secondary pipes from what I can see, but are they all that better than the PH4499's?

Would a swap to a 3.7x lsd effect my speedo in any way? And if so how and what can get it calibrated?

Dont quote me on this, but i have a feeling it would reduce the safest speed your tailshaft could take - i.e., you wouldnt be able to get to 180 safely anymore. It may also throw your speedo out a little, not sure on that.

To get the speedo recalibrated, you'd need to send it to VDO, who made the clusters. Im pretty sure it cant be done using the WDS. LG sent his in i think, so yuo might want to contact him and see what the best way to go about it is.

your speedo will be out about 18%
so yeah, fair whack out.. u can buy things that can correct this, i know Santoitaliano put one in his EA, but had a couple of issues.

Ah, thats right - probably the best thing to do would be get the speedo sender gear from the same car you get the diff gears from. Then put it all in as a replacement for what you've got now.

Just on this topic - i know my speedo is out,however i havent done a diff gear change or anything like that, messing round with the cluster to put new dials in didnt help. Can i get new speedo sender gear and put it in?

lol, shit stirrer.

I think the difference in the Pacies is, that, one of them is crap. Don't quote me on this though... seriously.

Yeah I'll just stick with the Comp Headers as planned.

Hopefully get the exhaust n headers done soon, and finally sound as phat as Dave's noise

:

I think ill fix the bonnet up after that and get my front end lower.

Thanks for the helps dudes.
