who has one and who can tell me what they are like??

i know there noisy.

but have any broken with power around 450bhp??

im stuck between the tremec box and the quaife one..

theres about 500quid diffrence so not alot but wondering which is the better box

 

i have one in mine.

wines a little but as soon as your into 5th its silent.

in full trim its not that noticable at all, just a bit of a whine.

 

now i know FA here but hasn't rod got a tremec? if so surely thats the one to have...

 

yh he has but he has how much bhp compared to mine

Ryan how would you rate it.. isit good box?

 

Ryan's might be for sale as well?

 

mike, its already spoken for, 1st thing a certain sailor asked for.

i think its an absoutely awesome box, very very tight, never missed a gear, easy to select gears, not movement once in gear at all.

only thing is it sound like you have a nackered box, which i thought i did, until i looked threw the receipt

as i was told that it had a new gearbox in it.

 

Ryan,

are you deffo breaking your car then?

 

still not decided yet, but certain bits are spoken for if i do, (i.e front hubs )it all depends on the insurance, and what they let me have the car back for.

 

so ts a good box.. i know dingys had issues with his so im unsure..

theres just a couple things putting my of the tremec box..

so may just get a quaife. i dont mid the whinning noise

 

i sometimes wonder if you're half man half woman mate as you are one of the most indecisive fuckers on here

you're wondering which is the best box so surely its the tremec if it can handle huge bhp?! at least then its fit and forget and not change again if spec changes.

clearly you're not shy of a few bob so whats an extra £500 for peace of mind?!

 

who wants the front hubs. It escapes me

 

Yeah, if I can put up with you, you should be able to put up with a bit of gearbox noise .

 

mike

i told you time and time again i appriciate the advice il even put a RandB motorsport sticker on my car for when it gets its mag feature

 

dingy, had a bernie kit, not a quiafe kit as far as i know.

might be wrong.

good thing with a t5 kit is its a direct replace, the tremec is not, although with work it does fit, but its certainly not a bolt on item.

i.e drive prop modded, custom gearbox craddle, hydraulic conversion, custom bellhousing, custom clucth, gearstick tunnel exit modded, as the box sits further forward, then you need to fit a quickshift to move the stick back to the original place.

Think thats about all

 

500 quid is the diffrence between the quaife and a couple stack gauges or just the tremec box

the spec wont go more than 450ish.. its a road going cossie and i find anymoe than 450 is pointless when you cant use it

 

have you taken those fucking stripes off yet? Forget gearboxes and if you must concentrate on a box, get the tremec

 

Euan runs a tremec aswell doesn't he, very succesfully?

 

fuck thats seems alot thought it was bolt in and forget
may go for the quaife one and get a couple stack gauges

 

nope not yet

 

are you going to

 

he uses a jag box.

 

Euan runs a Jaguar Getrag box

 

Dis some one say 'sailor'

 

depends how the mos look first

 

so dingy runs a bernie kit and not a quaife one?

 

im sure he can confirm, but i think its something bernie has designed rather than simply installing a quiafe kit into the T5.

seems a bit of a farse to call it a bernie box, if its purely a quiafe kit fitted into a t5.

its a bit like me installing a harvey engine in my car, and calling it a RP motorsport engine.

As i've said im sure its a CTS specific kit. Could be completely wrong though

where is the penguin when you need him? steveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

 

Thanks

 

bored today? fancy taking out an engine ?

 

well ryan your ran faultlessly so thats a plus.. dingys was shit but maybe it wasnt a proper quaife one

 

yeah but also mine is no where near the power of steve's.

 

ahhh ok what power was your ryan??

iv spoken to bernie and he says that there perfect and can handle 500+

 

Maybe that was down to the driver

 

Indecisive, too fooking right he is!! Earlier he called me telling me that he was buying a Tremec kit from me on Monday and wanted my bank details to transfer the dosh. I wont hold my breath...

 

its not that martin. its the fact that i dont have the facilaties or space to do mods under the car.. if you can te me that it wont be a headache then il order the box of you on monday.. my only concern is i cant have the car of the road for to long.. its my everyday driver. and im not sure about how its going to fit in the original center console as the gearleaver goes forward. if you can explain it to me then theres no problem.

 

Other than playing with the console my kit is a direct swap, but go for the Quaife it will be grief for me!!

 

so how do i go about modding the console martin?

 

martin il give you a call on monday and you can run me through it if you have time.
