Tim be great to have the cars together next year at pod, I really enjoyed Central Day.
Next year will be great with some strong contenders!

With regard to a few questions above,

Sequential box, I had a quote from Sadev for a 6speed sequnetial custom bell housing blah blah blah... BUT two problem.
1- Wont handle any more then 300 lbs/ft
2- 14k price tag

St170 box I was paranoid that my box was getting noisey, so we took the box out and fitted a new one with the Quaife diff. It sounded EXACTLY the same!!

The issue is (almost) solid gearbox mounts/engine mounts and rose jointed suspension.
It just sounds noisey so something I have to live with.... Only issue I faced when at Santa Pod was missing 4th gear every run, would be interested to have a go with a car with short shift to see if feel is better.

Ratios for topspeed on the st170 need to be better!

As for Focus Rs box its a winner too! High horsepower you have to fit one or an ST170 box. Waste of time with anything else!

little bram

going to be good tim, is the mt75 a close ratio box and will it be good for 1/4 mile's

crazycage

the ratios in the focus rs box are for 225/40/18s i top out at 154mph @7150rpm on 15s but probably hit that in half a mile lol. but you can put the final drive out of the 2.0l diesel witch makes a big difference!!

MTX75 has been fitted for over 9 years to some oddkidd cars. Boxes have been bought for as less as £40 no joke! AND still running now after being in four cars used and abused also one which was rolled in gear and one which was bananafied in a bad hit with a crack welded up and still worked fine. :0 The most expensive part is the driveshafts which you dont want to cut corners with! These cost £500-600 for a pair. Other than that the clutch depending on what power you want to run is the next cost factor. Around £320 will get you a decent clutch which holds to around 340bhp till it slips then the next step is £440 what holds to the max that the CGi 2lt engine with a Genuine T4 and Greys can have no idea on power as the car never stayed on the rollers to find out?


A pic for a little help.
