It will certainly be noisey when driving with the whining of the gears, I have no experience of that kit but I would of thought at stand still it shouldn't really be.

If its a straight cut gear kit then they are noisy.

I've had mine built with a Quaife Gear-Kit by CTS but haven't used as yet.

What Oil have you put in the thing as they are supplied dry.

I know "Sucking Eggs" and all that but I thought I'd best ask the question.

Paul L. (North Yorkshire Cossie Breaker) runs or used to run one in his Track 3Dr and he said it was noisy

Best of Luck
