hi
im after a better gearbox but i dont know what 2 go for??????
was thinking about a RA box but havin 2nd thoughts bout it now (130mph top out) i know it would be good low down but with getting a new ECU with anti-lag i dont think il need the RA box
the std box is no good ( to weak)
so what do i go 4? ppl have said the sti8 box is strong and a few r getting them fitted
i want sumt that will take about 400bhp?
how loud r the the dog boxes? maybe a bit much for a road car?
what r all the big BHP scoobs using? surly not a std boxes

Billy, just my opinion:
Daily driver/400 bhp go for the 6 speeder. Nice and quiet,reliable, 240mm clutch (if you want) and all that. Cheap @ £1600 for the 'kit' and will be plus about £600 labour for a good guy to fit it. Bad news is it is very heavy, but so what?
Weekend warrior/400 bhp consider the above (!) or a dog box. Bad news is ££££££££££££££, noisy and not always realiable, but fast change, street cred (so what) and keeps it light.
Cost is in the fitting as well as the maintenance needed if driven on the road a lot.
6 Speeder it is then.

If you go that way, watch-out for the rear diff ratio otherwise you will be fitting a rear diff and that takes about 4 hours.
Recently, there was a P1 drivetrain on the Snet, £800 low low miles, with rear diff etc, a bargain as it is the Type R box, short ratios too.
Good luck!
