in our german forum, there are 3 guys using it, one is Cyril Sneer, buildig his MK3 4x4 Cossie, 2 others are driving, heard of no problems, but the wheels are standard size, keep that in mind...

so no huge things.

Hopefully there come some more replys to this thread, as the price is hillarous cheap...

ATM Sport has a "cheap" gearkit as well.... shall being produced in the UK, but I don't know any more details.

well what i asked was has anyone tried one or know someone who has, remember this kit is from italy as they might not have caught on how to take the piss with some of these prices or exchange rate. not everything that costs more is better but would like some proper feed back from someone using one, cheers

they know exchange rates and so.

but the Oppliger kit is no big tooth, it's standard size, so this might be one of the top reasons of the lower price.
We (turbostylez Forum) from Germany asked if we can test a box on a 550 bhp hill climb car, but this was denied, so we can't say....
