Default Coswoth gearbox options

A topic for discussion and my education please:
R & D gearboxes, I keep hearing that their customer service isn’t up to scratch but what about the box it’s self?
Are they suitable for a track day car and what is their reliability like?
I suppose the same goes for an FFD box so please questions above also answered with an FFD box in mind.
Thanks in advance.

A FFD is going to be the thick end of 10k, nigh on indesructable though.

I'd probably speak to Mike Rainbird about the new dogkit he is using as its supposed to be strong and isn't a mental about of money.

cheapest option I have seen is the Oppliger motor sport item from Italy, around 1700 squids for the gear kit and then around a further 300 squids to get the kit fitted into your casing, so all in for around 2k gets you the box

a few videos are dotted around with the kit/car in action Romain is also a registered trader on here so have a butchers and check him out
