has any one got bara's number please? I've just broke my bara box. Think the main shaft broke. Its meant to be the uprated one too

 

how the fuck have you managed that??

 

Bara 01527 880 011

How did you break it??

 

shit news Andy.

 

i launched it on tarmac, span all 4 as usual and then went whilst i was still in 1st. Just glad it happened 20 mile from home as opposed to at pod

 

tell me about it dave. Rumour has it you've got one in your shed

 

lol, not a rumor Andy.

 

thought bara/mullit boxes were supposed to be really good up to like 600bhp etc??

 

so did i

 

The uprated main shaft seems to be a weakness (im basing this on a very small sample size, so ive used the word "seems" as im not claiming that to be a definitive statement) as Dave Moss (mad yum) broke one too.
He changed to a standard shaft, and has had no problems since, and thats been at over 600bhp and treated to plenty of full bore launches etc.

 

i remember that chip, but i paid Ł1000 for the uprated shaft

 

The big problem with any mt75 based box, is that the size of the main components are limited by the original design sizes.... There is only so much you can do to increase strenth of original sized components.

Andy, serious question do you just lift the clutch, or do you nip it up, hold the car on the handbrake then launch? If you "wind up" the transmission first you stand a lot less chance of breaking things!

 

Get yourself down to tesco! They have cadbury chocolate fingers on offer!

 

on tarmac i just try slip it slightly and go. But it broke when i hit the limiter in first tonight. Not when i launched it.

 

bad news that mate, didnt YUM have similar problems?

 

Momentum of the car accelerating Vs the engine trying to slow down (due to hitting limiter!) and the gear multiplication, would prob be a major cause of this... Think of the forces going through the car! At these power levels (500+) and the torque your car is producing, something somewhere has to be the weak link

 

limiter! An on boost misfire destroyed my dad's quaife box.

 

So did he, and it broke, but the standard one it was replaced with hasnt.

 

Yes l broke the modified input shalf it was about 1500 pounds if l remember thats not going to please Bara because the guy who makes them up thinks they are ok.

Martin said to replace it with standard shaft and get it frozen, we did that and its been fine.

This is what my shaft looked like

 

spoke to bara and he going to fit one like yours dave just need to whip it out and take it to him.

 

Do you get a refund of your Ł1000 then seeing as it wasnt upto the job! LOL!

 

Least its getting sorted. Was you racing someone or just launching it??

 

maybe worth getting gear kit shot peened and polished aswell if not already done

 

If it's just being frozen get it done yourself, get everything including the case done and it it's not very expensive.

I'm getting a new mainshaft and some gears for my gearbox and getting it all frozen.( not a ford box)

 

rad, racing a pulsar lol

 

thats a kick in the nads......... you were racing a pulsar and it was YOUR gearbox that broke


hope you get it sorted soon mate

 

very very ironic lol!

 

 

Beat me to it


Pisser Andy!!

 

Does freezing really make that much of a difference??

Sunny

 

i know gutted, i'll get him next time.
