New Gearbox – Gear X / Kiwi Special Projects
by Ronald on Mar.19, 2013, under Garage, General
Many of you might have seen some new decals on our DC5 race car…Gear X and Special Projects.
So what happened? We hadn’t updated our blog for a while, but during that time our team member Reinier did an excellent job in rebuilding our gearbox. The stock box wasn’t too happy with the 300+ HP we thrown at it, so time for improvement here!
We got in contact with Jeff Owen from Kiwi Project / Special Projects / Gear X. After some discussion and advice with the goals for this car in mind we decided to get the following parts:
* Pro III CLose Ratio Gear Set
* 5.08 Final Drive
* Carbon Synchros
* New bearings/Seals.

After this job (and to be honest, we had to do it twice because we got the wrong synchro’s at first), we tested it and this resulted in improved laptimes immediately!
I would like to thank Reinier, Peter and Jeff for their support!
