It is inportant though to now the price installed on the car. I asked what the extra cost would be if I wasn’t adding the sequential in the build, guestimate was 2 k’ish.
I think it would be a bad saving not to buy through the factory. The price difference just seems not present or minor.
A lot of people stumbled over each other to say the 350 upgrade is way to expensive, now it turns out it is pretty good value...
Good point it is an engine out job, gearbox is then sent to Quaife to fit their parts. Ariel also have a nice installation to accommodate a removable steering wheel in that the pins are inside the steering column, there is no plug to plug in yourself that some cars have to hook up the paddles. They also fit shift buttons either side of the dash. That said, if the price comes back as silly, then I will look at alternatives. Some things at Ariel are really great value, other things have a very large mark up like the titanium bolt kit, Willans Harnesses, lap counting etc. You'd be mad to spec those, either that or you have more money than sense.
