What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon :) Can you give me any info on the gearbox you are running in the clan please. I'm doing the same conversion in an Imp, and my fear is the gearbox ,firstly the strength of the thing, I do plan on an LSD to strengthen the diff pins. And secondly the ratios. Your clan sounds as though it doesn't drop too far out of the power band when you change gear, I'm sure the weight advantage of the Clan helps with that, but I've heard others that seem to have a big "hole" in the gearing upon changing up, just wondering if you are running close ratio? Any advice much appreciated.
The Engine Shed the gearbox needs strengthening externally-mine was done by Dave Weedon. I don’t find an LSD remotely necessary but this may be different in an Imp and am not sure how it would help with the case strength. There is too large a gap between second and third so we went for lower 3rd and 4th which is why it doesn’t drop out of the power band. Again this was done by Dave Weedon.
@@fsmlittler That is fantastic, thanks so much. Do you have any contact info for Dave? I've owned my imp 25 years, I've come across Dave's name before but never dealt with him, my email is theengineshedonline@gmail.com
