I'd say $300+. The high demand for these boxes has pushed the price up here. I know a number of people who have exported them to Australia. And have also heard numourous aussie's say that they've bought them off tardeme too.

Are Dog leg boxes better than the standard 5 speed?

they run different syncos and i find the dog leg ones are way stronger and longer lasting, thats just my experience with them in rally and race cars.

Funny you should say that. I've been told that the H pattern ones are stronger.
But they are all pretty good really. I've done unholy things to them, and never broken one.

I heard the dogleg box has bigger syncros or something making them stronger, I never broke a dogleg box ( but then I never break anything cause as bart says I drive like a nana)
