quote: The Corsa. Roughly 300 ish Bhp. I spoke to Quaife and asked them about their sequential gearboxes. They actually use the same box as they use on the K20 Honda but just with a different bell housing. But the thing that put me off was that they said it required regular servicing...approx once a year if it was just a weekend car. And the cost? From £500 upwards depending on what needs replacing....eeek! I could basically afford to put a fresh recon box in every year for that sorta money... So recon it is...booked in for Friday. | |

I could be on the M25 in 11 minutes, looking out for any stolen vehicles. | |

Engine mounts will still be an issue regardless of gearbox, if anything, with a sequential it's likely to be harsher on them. | |

Indeed, we have all done it, I have done it plenty of times - with a normal gearbox, not quite getting why you need a sequential box to do that...surely the idea of a sequential box is to shorten gear change times to get best possible times etc. | |

There's plenty of places you can safely accelerate a car from a standing start. The only reason the video makes it look dangerous is because of the aggressive gear-changes and wheelspin. But lets be honest, we've all done it. | |

I had a sequential in my bike-powered kit car. Obviously it's different to a 'normal' car with a car engine. | |

Drive one first in anger and see if you like it, personally I feel more at home with a H gate and they're £50 so although its a bit of work to fit one that's a lot of spare boxes for your £6k. | |

E46 Auto BMW's have a sequential shift too, whilst not a true sequential, it's the same in essence. | |

They are indeed. Around £6k plus the vat I think... but they are pretty damn awesome. You can opt for paddle shift too if you so desire! | |

do the quaife boxes not come with a lifetime warranty like their diffs? | |

Has anyone had or experienced driving a car with a sequential gearbox? My dream is to have a car that I can thrash all I like through the gears without the worry of blowing up gearboxes or damaging synchro's. |
