Elite Sequential Boxes
Discussion
Hi Folks,
Is there any experiences with Elite sequentials on here? specifically the IL200, I'm considering one but the few people I've spoken to have all advised to go Quaife, problem is the quaife is over double the cost and I know a few people who've had shocking customer service from Quaife so it's tricky to know what's best to do...

What application ?
Tractive or Samsonas would likely be better, although they're probably aimed at more powerful stuff
Single seater, 200 bhp, 500kg, slicks. Don't thing there's too many small, light sequentials. Sadev is the ideal option but our budget doesn't stretch to one.Tractive or Samsonas would likely be better, although they're probably aimed at more powerful stuff
It's not that odd.
Folks in our formula have had their fair share of Quaife issues, like sending them a sequential box for a service and it being returned with two third gears, no fourth, Quaife refused to accept it was their fault.
Another guy bought a new box from them, before fitting made sure it was ok when on the bench, input shaft seized solid, took it down to Quaife who wouldn't even look at it whilst he waitied, he had to do the 5 hour round trip again a few days later when they'd decided to be bothered to look at it.
They're a baffling company.

I ran a 5 spd elite IL200 in my Westfield. I broke it a few times but one was due to my ham fisted changes and second I built it myself. When I got the upgraded shaft and the by the factory it was solid.
I swapped it for a 6spd which I thought was much better.
Mine ran with a 270hp duratec. It was incredibly light compared to the Quaife 60G I have in my escort.
I still have some gears for sale for an IL200.
Changing drop gear ratios was great and very easy too. I'll miss being able to do that.
If I see an IL300 come up I might sell the Quaife. They're good boxes.
Great info, thanks!I swapped it for a 6spd which I thought was much better.

Surprised you went with a 6 speed IL200 with that much power, must have been on the limit of its capability, they say the 6 is limited to 200 ft lb and the 5 to 250.
