Re: Merlin's 4G Time Attack Lude
I don't think it matters what B series box it is as all the gear ratios and final drive will be custom as the dog gears will be manufactured specifically for that box. So sky is the limit for choice. You never know, after some digging I might find that it is just as easy to get a company to mod a H series box if it is all custom built anyway. That would sidestep B series fitment issues.
There are companies such as these guys who I'm sure if you sent them the H series box they would build me one. http://www.saenztransmissioneurope.com/about.html

Re: Merlin's 4G Time Attack Lude
Its a scab I don't want to pick at ATM but I assume somewhere in the ball park region of £8K? A LOT of money but it will be worth it
If I do this I still wont be the most expensive car in class
I estimate that title goes to the Mazda RX8 that I was up against.
Edit - In relative terms I dont think it is that much though not when you start thinking about the price of other systems / components on the car, eg £2.5K for the cage, £2.5K for brakes & wheels, over £1.5K for the current gearbox and so on...

Re: Merlin's 4G Time Attack Lude
The final rounds of SLS 2016 will be covered on Motors TV on Friday night. I hope that this one will be much better as they got a bit of a slating last time. Plus the mid season coverage has actually been quite good this year
