Agreed. You would struggle to find better service with someone else. No wonder I`ve spent around 10k£ with David

i hope so pete lol im mainly going to be using it for 1/4 mile and scooby shoot out. i've built the car from the ground up and its cost me about 26k so far, still reckon its gonna cost another 10/12k to get it up and running but cant wait till its done

Pete

With that estimated power mate it,ll put in some SERIOUS 1/4 mile times..

What box have yo got in her??

hi pete, i've just fitted a 6 speed for now which will probably hurt my 1/4mile times. i was gonna go ppg but didn't like the idea that 5th gear was standard. dave offered me another box with all 5 gears straight cut and uprated but chose 6 speed just incase i put it on the road.

Pete

Dave,

Can the PPG`s take all that kind of power?? i,ve heard they struggle after 450ish, mind you that,s gossip on here...

The PPG fast road kit is rated to around 450bhp but a straight cut 1-5 has handled 620bhp on TerryB's time attack car

Banny

Going 4 400bhp

Im trying to get rid of my PPG straight for a 6 speed at the mo, Makes far to much noise for me

I would be interested in a swap as I am taking my car off the road for a while, Pm me the details for the ppg and see if we can work something out Ash

Who mentioned PPG ??

We use various boxes depending upon customer needs.

The one Dave was interested in is a Japanese " Takata brand " straight cut dog box as used by many of the top Time attack Japanese cars. The gears are huge compared to PPG.

We use it in our own car, soon to be seen in the RACMSA Hill climb championship driven by Ace Racer Rob Harriman.

Look out for an announcement soon on here somewhere.

PS Thanks for the kind words all above, much appreciated.
