Speak to Elite and get one of these. Would imagine its about half the price.

what a waste of money, seriously, get yours sent off to CTS for stage2/3 build with quaife diff, much cheaper and this way you can have a spare for the same money.

I think buying an 8k gearbox is silly, let alone getting into debt for one.

If 8k on a box is silly then geeting into debt for one is fucking stupid!!

You will regret living beyond your means if you spend it on a item that will be hard to resell and loose a load of money on!!!!!!!!
