Them sequential gear box's are un real in a road car!
Mate of mine has an ellite one in a gt35 powered m.a.d saff with 500bhp it's never off boost as you don't have to let off to change gear they really do make the car quicker
Was speaking to a bloke the week regarding this sort of thing, i'm more than happy with the performance of mine but i think one of these boxes would use the power more efficiently, really want to use mine on the track so it would be nice but i don't have around £7k spare for a gearbox
My old centrelocks well the outers anyway, the current owner made the inners from billet ali and sold the original BBS magnesium centres on, his company makes some top notch bespoke cnc parts.
At £20k I think its not a bad price just for the car considering the components its built from, I can See Mark buying this and breaking it

I've been in that same Saff and know exactly what you mean, makes a massive difference.

The box in this car is only rated to 400bhp though lol

I have been trying to get hold of the owner but no replies to emails , and no bloody phone number
My mate dan payed around 6 grand for his elite one he has over 500 bhp and drives it fucking hard and seems to take it
Yeah, Dan's got the Elite Il300 Evo 2 I think. The new version seems pretty good, but no one has really pushed one hard yet as far as I know, at least with big power. The old Il300 'boxes had a mixed reputation.

Yep, either that or just guess and try and keep count

I'd love one but even if I could afford it I can't run a sequential box in my class, I suppose I could just screw the old T5 gear knob on and hope nobody noticed lol.
Rich
Ha! They would think you're shit hot at changing gear, too! Sequentials are amazing, driven and been out in a few and they transform the car. I want one for my car but can't justify it
A tractive box is worth the extra as its lighter stronger better gear change better customer service but its 10k so all of the above wont matter if the usual mentality is used of cheaper is better lol
Agreed, hate cages that go in front of the dash.. And I hate silicone (waiting to fail) vacuum hoses even more, it doesn't look a bad car but it could take a few improvements.
I thought silicon hoses were classed as an upgrade, is this not the case?
Genuine question mate.
