adeal3 Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Hi All At the risk of re-starting an old subject. Does anyone actually use one of these in their road car and is the noise bearable (accepting this is very much an individual thing). I have an x-flow so am used to a fair amount of noise but not mechanical whining! Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Loads of people use SCCR boxes on the road and whether the whine is bearable or not depends on whether you like the idea of a race car on the road and individual sensibilities. I particularly like the SBD blurb for the semi-helical 'doesn't whine like a straight cut box', but boy does it whine.... perhaps like a semi-helical ? - it's all good fun though.

I reply to every thread Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Doesn't bother me - If I want quiet I take the CRX or MX5 (Rarely!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Yep, I have one too - just adds to the experience, but then I've never driven a Caterham without one so don't have anything to compare it with smile.gif So it whines a bit, but the noise of the xflow soon drowns that out.

robmar Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 I had one in my previous car and loved it even took it touring with the missus to spain and finland bought an intercom system and this cut out most of the noise also the whine covers up all the other various noise you can get worried about driving a caterham blush.gif rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
