Dog Box

[Cupra-Craig]

I've been doing some think an i'm thinking about a straight cut dog box wanting any info people have on them ie prices where to get them from.

Also do they all come with like an LSD in them or what?

Wouldnt mind a second hand one

All info needed cheers

straight cut box sound lush, but im sure they aint realiable to drive around every day and cover big miles in them?? (may be wrong)

best person to speak to would be john at GMC, he will defo be able to point you in the right direction. with regards to what you want or the next best thing. but tbh they will be alot of money, even second hand.

you can also send a PM to williamsvts he knows a shed loads about this kind of thing, or ratty (not sure if he still comes on here since he left the saxo scene, but he is is a god when it comes to getting big power and gearboxes and diffs to handle the power) lol he had an amazing setup for his turbo vts, im sure it was a box made up of loads of uprated bits and bobs with an atb diff.

vtsturbo had 1 of these in his

for the love of money i cant rember where he got it from

[boz]

im sure rattys was a mega uprated set of ratios etc, with better bearings etc and an atb diff, i know it wasnt cheap. i got his twin plate ap racing clutch of him think he got the box made up at GMC?? but dont quote me on that

if i was going to spend good money on an uprated straight cut box, i would get a one that you could sprint to 60 is fook all time lol wouldnt be to botherd about top end.

thought you could get one for £600 LOL

QUAIFE

[Foggy]

Here you go Quaife

Running semi helicoil with ATB diff. Gearing is spot on for what we need but tops out at 98 MPH.

Need to run Silkolene Syn5 oil to get smooth gear change

[vtsturbo]

had one circa 2 years ago, best thing ever purchased for the paxo!
purchased from tms for about £3.5k(casing,gearset,diff + build/fitting). as mentioned you`ll struggle to get anything like a decent top speed so very limiting if used in an everyday runabout. also nothing like as bad to use as many comments suggest, very noisey(screaming gearset & cluncking from diff affects) which could sometimes be slightly embarrasing as sounds like car is falling to pieces and generaly knackered,lol.

dog box --not for road use --lsd -yes good idea

[boz]

john did ratty get his BE3 MA setup from you??

[boz]
