eric Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Is it possible to change the Ford parts inside the 3.92 De Dion (not LSD) or are we obliged to change all the De Dion supplied by Caterham. Who knows the Ford part number of the inside of the de dion Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Eric, If you want to change the ratio of the differential you can do this. Ratio's from Ford are 3.92, 3.62 and 3.38 Most 6 speed cars have the 3.62, most 5 speeds the 3.92 The smaller the ratio number, the taller the gearing - or the faster you go for given engine speed. The higher the number the faster your accleration. I do not know who can make the change for you in France, but you could send the diff to the UK to Phil Stewart. He charges around £175 (E.250) to make the change (inc the parts) plus shipping.

EFA Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Or en Francais via Babelfish: Si vous voulez changer le taux du différentiel vous pouvez faire ceci. Le taux du gué sont 3,92, 3,62 et 3,38 Les la plupart des voitures de 6 vitesses ont les 3,62, les la plupart 5 vitesses les 3,92 Plus le nombre de taux est petit, plus l'embrayage est grand - ou plus vous allez chercher la vitesse de moteur donnée rapidement. Plus le nombre le plus rapide votre accleration est haut. Je ne sais pas qui peut faire le changement pour vous en France, mais vous pourriez envoyer le diff au R-U à Phil Stewart. Il charge autour de £175 (E.250) de faire le changement (inc. les pièces) plus l'expédition.
