Does anyone know how much one costs?

spurner 16 February 2002 11:22 PM

What is it?

Crusty 17 February 2002 10:32 AM

Try MRT, there not far from NZ..... !!

rallycol 17 February 2002 06:25 PM

Its a Possum Bourne developed group N ,stronger, gearbox gear kit.

Rallycol,

Try Stuart at Town End Garage. 01524 733837.I think he has a rebuilt Possum kit.

FYI it is slightly stronger (say 10% max) by virtue of different gear material but the limitation of std tooth count and profile is still there.

Thanks for the help but its the cost I really want .I'm going to look at a rally car for sale ,with a brand new NZ box and spare and this will be part of the negociation on price ,hopefully it will be nearer my figure than theirs ;)

Rallycol,

Can get you a new Possum kit for circa £1700.
Would value a recon at £700.

Steve

rallycol 17 February 2002 07:36 PM

Thanks for that I know I'm picking your brains but how much are new front and rear plated diffs

steve rally 17 February 2002 07:42 PM

Genuine front plated diff from Prodrive c.£850
Rear plated £550

Stuart at Town End has Torsen Front Diffs at £500 ish..
Would recommend torsen as front plated can be snatchy - and not really suitable for tarmac.


Just another thought.... we have a Dog Kit made by the man who makes the "Possum kits" on trial at present - circa £2900 if you are interestesd.

Steve

rallycol 17 February 2002 07:53 PM

Maybe interested in the future .I havent looked at the car yet and I'm going abroad to look at it at the weekend .Its a very good spec and double national championship winning car full group N before dog boxes were allowed. With a load of spares its a cheap car, do you run a car yourself?

steve rally 17 February 2002 07:57 PM

Yep!!

Type R V4 Clubman GP A spec Tarmac car.
V3 Type R gravel spec.
Curently building GP N cum road rally V3 type R.

If you need any advise/bits/etc give me a ring on 07836 635001.

Thanks i've run a group A evo for 2years and know a bit about subarus but I'll have to learn a bit more.The evo has just been sold due to sponsor problems.

spurner 17 February 2002 08:03 PM

Or you could just go for a full dog-box from MRT, for A$7,000.

UkLegacyT 17 February 2002 09:06 PM

rallycol, if youve got the cash, then MRT make an unbreakable dog box....£3750+vat...eeks!!

You could also try the Twin Turbo boxes, they are slightly stronger about the same as the ones you are querying. Plus they use a twin baulk ring setup to aid that crunch from first to second.

I have just got one for my car, cheaper than those gear kits and had all the gears crack tested and shot peened.

submannz 17 February 2002 10:20 PM

Just rang them. NZ$5,500 for the Group N gear kit, which is currently being used by Cody Crocker, and Possum has used these in the past.

rallycol 17 February 2002 10:23 PM

Thanks for that ,what a gent!

submannz 18 February 2002 09:39 PM

I live 10 minutes drive from them so no hastle.
