anywere from 10 to 18 grand, depending on age and what bits come with it, such as clutch, flywheel, starter, both props etc

there is some h pattern ones from 7grand but the conversion is another 7grand to sequential, think im going to ring bara and pester him a bit as i need this back on track

anything over a 150 terminal at the pod and they only let you run if a parashoot is fitted to the back

so if you hit 150 on the first run they wont let you do anymore

..i wonder how much the M5 7 speed smg box would cost to replace, this is a really nice box and i except the slow speed gearchange isnt the greatest but driving fast its un fucking real!!! Especially in S6 mode! A sequential box that you can drice slow is cool.

Sorry of no use to this topic but just thought what a cool box it is!

No, it's because you are to M5s what BM08 is to N95s.

ffds take alot to break, the input shafts break as they are designed too, we have now had 2 years of abslute abuse to the ffd in the escos, i drive it, old boy drives it, and it dosnt get it easy at all, but we have just had it to bits and it is in good condition, two new gears, for different ratio, and one dog ring due to wear and we are off !

i think a new ffd seq off bara is 14k just the box on its own, also slightly varies from 6/7 speed iirc cant remember what he said now

If a shoot is fitted does that mean you have to use it ?

No, it's a failsafe. i.e if you're brakes fail for any reason you have a way of slowing down!
