i have got a stage 3 big bearing box in my garage and i'm just wondering how much there worth . I've had it rebuilt with a brand new 5th gear

Cheers mike

 

I recently paid £700 for a S1 CTS box which was low mileage. I would assume if you have the receipts for the rebuild from CTS a bit more than that.
Series 1 boxes are more desirable as they allow the use of the S1 ARB so fetch a little more.

Hope that helps.

 

Is it a series 1 box? if it is im interested! bmoldskoolw@aol.com cheeRS clive.

 

Didn't realise there was any such thing as a stage 3? Stage 2 and 2+ have the quaiffe atb, what's the spec and how much was it brand new?

 

i should imagine it is the stage 2+

 

That's what I have and what I assume this fella has as there is not a stage 3 box

The new prices are stated below which may help define how much a second hand one is worth.

Stage 1 uses uprated Ford viscous limited slip diff : £495
Stage 2 uses Quaife ATB limited slip diff : £895
Stage 2Plus has shot-peened gears : £1,195

there is vat on top of them i think

 

There is indeed, which is why I now need a pacemaker and purchased a used CTS box

and a surcharge if its an outright sale ie no part exchange.

I was gonna say my stage 2 was over a grand with the dreaded on top....and i broke that last year lol. Due to the diff being ok though it was only £350 to be rebuilt which was cheaper than i expected!

 

are these stage 2+boaes actually stroong? ive just bought one for 800 brand new still wrapped with the receipt for 1200, i here good things and bad things, my car will be pushing around 220bhp with loads of torque, should it be ok?
