alivr6 0 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Stealth is based in warickshire and is probably the best to go to for the three items you require but also don't come cheap.They do the charger for £3200 fitted, the schrick is around £1600 and they do a gemini six speed box.Your best bet would is to ring vince who will help you in more depth. 8o) Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 think the 6 speed conversion is £1500, but you'd be stupid not to add a quaife atb (and about £500) at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
jamieVR6 0 Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Right! So it's either the 6 speed box or the schrick.Any sugestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 shrick all the way. then supercharger !or if you engines pretty much stock, turbo all the way son ! Link to post Share on other sites

mightyvr6 0 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 what kind of problems? Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 i'm sure vince quoted me a while back summat like 2500 for a six speed box with quaife atb , fitted! 1500 for standard re-built 5 speed with the atb! but ring him to check, or ask him at inters! Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Right! So it's either the 6 speed box or the schrick.Any sugestions? gotta be the gearbox.no point in adding bhp and torque if you can't make the most of what you already have!also, having a charger without a diff will just waste that investment as you won't be able to put the power down effectively.

jamieVR6 0 Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Right! I better have a word with vince at inters then & see how much the box actually is. Sounds a bit more than my budget at the mo &| but that's what credit cards r for! !amazed Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 gemini have stopped trading so vince only does the quaife box now. the box is £2100 +vat, and the diff is £580 +vat. which is a ball ache. lol. also he has had some kits on back order since last year and he has no idea when hes going to get them, but call him yourself tho, u may be lucky.[ Edited Sun May 02 2004, 11:27PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
jamieVR6 0 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Aaaaah!!! Bugger! That'll be nearly £3000!!!! Don't like waiting for stuff, so i may just do the body work first. I'll have to decide when i see whats at inters, I need some ideas Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 same here. would love a close six speed, but too bloody expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Don't think Stealth Racing, ie Vince will be at Inters, never seen him at a show with a stand yet! He's so busy I don't think he needs to advertise, most of us who use him do it for him, lol! Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I had stealth fully rebuild my box and fit a peloquin diff and 3.94 final drive and a gemini 6 speed. the bill wa £2600, but I'd rather have this box than a supercharger anyday. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 is that because you dislike the chargers, or because the box has a great increase in drivability? Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I thought the charger would be pretty pointless without a decent diff. so I went for the box instead.The car didn't need more power, it needed grip and a stronger, better ratioed gearbox. plus it doesn't put the insurance or fuel consumption up, nor does it stress the engine any more.

VRmonster 1 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 just a pity that gemini have shut up shop. would a different final drive make much of a difference to a standard 5 speed, or should i save and get a quaife 6 speed. Link to post Share on other sites
