looks great!!

can you give us an overview on their sequential gearbox. do you need to use the clutch for shifts other than starting from a stop. how fast is each shift? i tried to go to the quaife site to look it up but their site is down and has no info

1 C2E Carriage & Packaging - European Freight 350.00
1 1968 POTENTIOMETER - VARIOHM 109.94

This was the parts list I needed from Quaife, all pricing in GBP. Exchange rate is actually pretty good right now.

...
At current exchange rates, that's ~US $9,373.57

I love the idea, but I could never get past the insane price.

for having the knowledge and wallet to do this though. I've often imagined how awesome the S2k would be with a sequential gearbox.

I think the price is ok, people pay close to that for PPG gears and bearings with install.


And the Seq Sellholm MPG we use cost another 5000 USD.



Can't wait to hear it in acton

I've never looked up the list price for a new OEM before, but I think you'd be crazy to buy one for $5k. A low mileage used OEM can easily be had for under $1000 for AP2 and under $700 for AP1

It's strong, but it's not insanely strong:http://www.rallyinguk.com/new-quaife-ford-...rbox-i1393.html

I'm not knocking the mod. Like I said, I think it's awesome to put a sequential in an s2k. I just don't think the cost/benefit is there for $10k. At least not for me. YMMV...
