It will be noisy, ratios aren't great for the road, and for the same price you could do a much better MTX conversion. The gearsets are rated to only 175 BHP, however this is a huge underestimation by Quaife for warrantee purposes. It should handle anything you can throw at it TBH. The quality of the gears and shafts are far far superior to the standard Ford items.

I'd say, complete, £4k maybe? It's hard to say, cars don't seem to be selling lately. Lad I know is still trying to sell his immaculate 57k S1 for £6.5k but just can't shift it.
