Default best Rst Gearbox

I have to change my gearbox as it's pretty foocked up.
now i'm wondering what to do...

It has to take about 250 bhp from a 2 liter ZVH engine @ 1.3-1.5 bar.....

I know cts has some good stuf but it's pricy..... what or my options or do i have to spend big money to be safe it wil hold...

Thanx all

CTS does some good work, a stage 2 box would prob suit your needs but as you say can seem a fair bit of money.........you pay for what you get tho I'm affraid.

Other wise there is a MTX75 gearbox option for you.......have a look on www.oddkiddcreations.co.uk for more info on the MTX75 conversion

My CTS box is coping with my 250bhp and has survived my slightly lead right foot for two years including a couple of mad days at Brunters and full days of hammering at Bedford Autodrome.

You get what you pay for and I wouldn't consider CTS pricey for what you get for your hard earned

A Quaiffe ATB diff fitted to your own box and overhaul is your cheapest option.
