anybody got one, are they any good?

jus investing in an uprated box by geartorque

 

Yup! well worth the investment

 

works well

 

What you doing with the car ?

Dont rate them for what I do with mine.

 

And if i remeber right Geartorque boxes are no good

The only car ive driven with an ATB is the Focus RS and it works very well,Dont know how it is in other cars though

 

Funny u should say that about geartorque.....the 'uprated' box i bought off em a year ago shat its load on the wkend! Only runnin 170bhp and wasn't really givin it any stick at the time! I had terrible service off em n all, they tried palming me off with a non rsturbo box at first!

 

Ive heard a lot of people having trouble with Geartorque boxes

Never heard a bad thing about C.T.S though

 

Yeah C.T.S are well good.

Stage 2 box i think comes c/w an ATB, not a bad price either

 

sorry but who are c.t.s?

Im sure your little plug will help tho

Are those prices plus VAT ?

 

What are the ib5 bearings used? - diff bearings?

 

The rollerbearing next to the crownwheel pinion at the end of the centermost shaft(layshaft or mainshaft or whatever). I've carried out this mod to a few boxes that have hold up fine so far. The bearing is around 30e from Ford.

 

Tony why dont u rate em? Might be diff if u had 300lb of torque?
