Hi Daniel,
Sounds like it will be a ferocious little car when built.
I might have missed it above, but what engine are you planning to use?

I've always had the same BGH Type 9 in the car so when it went bang it seemed sensible to get it fixed (Alloy cased E8s have some value after
all). A T5 is a possibility but I would be much more likely to so sequential for the next box (Elite IL300, Quaife 60G etc)

I sure hope it's a beast! I'm planning to use the GM LDK (called LNF in the US) 2L ecotec engine. 290hp with a factory tune and easily
more with some fiddling.

*edit*
ecotec (GM), not ecoboost (ford)

yeah, I've got a bargain iron cased E8 waiting to go into mine just now and I know how much that cost
the alloy case alone must have set you back a bit, do you know the total weight of your E8 ?

You guys make me thing I have to bit the bullet and get the quaife. I just wish I could find someone that has used it to offer some opinions.

Well not exactly but.....I tried to pick up the Iron Type 9 and struggled to lift it (as in....this is bloody heavy). The Alloy case one you can pick
up easily and carry under one arm.

might be worth having a look over on the westfield / caterham forums - I know quite a few of them use the quaife boxes

It is quite common to use the dog box version (57G ?) in sprinting with the Westfield guys, those that don't use the 60G of course.
