Are you sure you want to stick with 4 speeds? When I built my Ulster I started with a Vince Leak C/R 4 speed with a 5.25:1 CWP, 19" wheels. Whilst it all worked well I always felt that something was 'wrong'. In the end I changed to a 3 speed box with fake Ulster ratios. Not only was the car transformed but the fun was transformed too. I'd never go back to 4 speeds. I do use the car for speed events so that, obviously, was a factor in the change but it's a road car I use on the track rather than a track car I use on the road and it works so well in both environments. The long second is, particularly, good; 55+ mph and a change up to top is brilliant at the Traffic Light Grand Prix! OK, for next season the new axle is 5.67:1 to give some more punch out of the slower corners but I'm still sure it'll remain a great road car.
