No they sell you the gear set and u install it your self or have some one install it for u . BTW why do u want this box for drifting ? or drag ? or street ?

well actually the car is automatic and im looking to do a conversion. i'm not at this point looking to drag nor drift with the car due to lack of facilities but i would like to over-engineer so to speak for future use. the dogbox is expensive but its looks as though it can be used for street use. i'm wondering if i use the helical cut gears if it should reduce the cost.

COST will still be high and if u going this way it would make sense to go straight cut although it will be noisy straight cut cant take more abuse than helical . Good luck with this and happy spending .

Dred, do not put a dog box in your car unless you goin to use it, take this advice from ah man who spend ridiculous money on one.
By using it, I mean for the intended purpose. It is not fun to drive except for the sole purpose of which it was made ie circuit or drifting etc

Excellent Advice!! To many times i've seen ppl waste thousands of dollars on parts that they will never use...unless they was actively racing the car.
