what is it that causes the whining sound in rally and touring cars...? something to do with gears/lsd or related item, curious....[/i]

[Rich]

square cut boxes mate! if all your gears were the same as your reverse gear yours would do the same

[Swervin_Mervin]

straight cut boxes.

There was a nova with one at the 'pod @ Retro Cars show. It was pretty rapid actually. Cool noise as well.

Whats teh advantage of a straight cut box over a normal one, i guess the difference is that teh teeth on the gears are straight accross the cogs, trather than on the angle?

[Swervin_Mervin]

Cuts tranny losses I think. Changing gear's a bit more difficult though isn't it?

instant power basically easyest way to describe it,
changing gear only difficult if attempting it at lower revs very snappy .
