why would anybody go with that?
Because they want a six speed sequential box in their car?

I know of a Quiafe QBE34G (dog) sequential box, second hand up for sale soon/at the moment with the adapter plate for an F23. Comes from a nearly finished VX220 race car project by someone I know of in Scotland.
SUPER CLUTCH TWIN PLATE CLUTCH & 7.25" FLYWHEEL
QUAIFE 6 SPEED SEQUENTIAL QBE34G DOG GEARBOX
It looks almost brand new in the pics I was sent, if anyone is interested.

Unless you want it as a decoration, why?

Note that quaife don't even give a torque rating for it...
Old saying on motorsport, buy cheap, buy twice....

It does have a nominal torque rating somewhere, I remember finding it and dismissing it as a result. It's not really suitable for big torque turbo cars, though Cliffie's engine might be circa 300 ft/lb (at a guess), so maybe a possibility. This particular unit is second hand off Colin Blower's VX220 and is straight cut and dogged. The straight cut cogs might give it a bit more ability than the helical gearset.

knowing what materials they use and seeing the pain others have gone though with them over the years, only to end up starting again.

Mike, why the difference between rear left and rear right weights? Do they all have this disparity or is it a result of your lightening?
Did you ever weigh the car last season, it would be interesting to see the difference compared to this.

They're never equal side to side. Out of the box, anyway.

The disparity left to right over the rear axle is due to the engine sitting to the right and the gearbox (much lighter) to the left.
Didn't weight it last season sadly but I reckon we were probably about 30-40KG heavier.
Weight is without driver or fuel.
