Default Taking orders for Fixit kits

These are the big tooth gear kits PROVEN to take in excess of 700bhp. Unfortunately at the moment it still uses a standard first gear, but the new Fixit first gear when it becomes available will retro fit. This means it would be unwise to use in a drag car at present (even though some standard gears have lasted 100 launches with big power and these gear kits, some have only lasted 5 - I think it depends on the driver ).

Price is £2600 delivered for gearkit only. Bernie charges approx £800 (which includes shot-peening and polishing) to install in a customer supplied casing (check prices with him, as these were from 12 months ago).

The ratios are slightly taller and slightly closer ratios in the lower gears, so is ideally suited for track work allowing you to stay in the power band more easily.

Standard ratios and speeds achieved @ 7500rpm with 225/40 x 18s and standard final drive.
1st is 3.61 = 43mph
2nd is 2.08 = 74mph
3rd is 1.36 = 114mph
4th is 1.00 = 155mph
5th is 0.83 = 186mph

Fixit ratios and speeds achieved (same as above)
1st is 3.00 = 52mph
2nd is 1.99 = 78mph
3rd is 1.33 = 116mph
4th is 1.00 = 155mph
5th is 0.825 = 187mph

Please note that the speed figures have been rounded up or down accordngly.

Deposit of £500 required to secure one. Delivery ETA 4-6 weeks.





What they look like after Bernie has 'peened and polished them.

Forgot to say that this is a LIMITED run and once these are sold, another batch won't be produced for quite a while .
