Sequential

[taffyracer]

Going to be placing an order for a 6 speed sequential within the next week or so.......options are the Quaife G60 and the Elite IL300, i know plenty of caterham's use the G60 and i know some that have used the lesser Elite IL200, the Il200 has had some issues but i'm told the IL300 version is much heavier duty, much more so than the Quaife and can can also handle more power and torque, i also have heard the usual stories about the Quaife leaks etc, the Elite is a tad cheaper but for the sake of £500 i don't want to compromise. Car is a CSR 260

Does anyone have any direct experience of both boxes, or opinions on either box?

Having spooken to Quaife it seems they have made some modifications to the gearlever and seals......I think i'm going to opt for the Quaife.......what do people use for the flatshift?

yep seen that, think it was the IL200 thought and not the IL300.......i'm going to order a Quaife now anyway, everyone seems to have the Quaife and it looks like an easier and better long term solution.

A bit late in the day to come in, but did you consider the Drenth box?

Actually yes I did, but it really is alot more expensive, with the euro the way it is then it's not far off being double the cost, I've used the Drenth in an M3 and they are superb but I just don't think the car warrants a box that expensive when a Quaife will do the job

All the BMW's you'll see racing use Drenth....its the best option and they really are very good, but in caterham that has 150bhp less I can't see the need for paying more, if I was prepared to pay more than the Quaife then the Drenth would get my money, I've only used a Sadev in a Clio Cup car, 22mm I wouldn't have though would have sufficient impact to warrant the extra outlay either

Dave....Was going to get a nice lightweight Ali or CF prop made, tried twice to contact Torqline now and they just bother to respond so will be looking at an alternative, plan is to also get a new smaller clutch and lighter flywheel and get it all balanced nicely balanced
