Quaife Close-ratio Gear Kit

[driversdomainuk 8]

Hi Guys,

 

Currently having really good success with my new setup - rear 25mm ARB, from 22mm ARB, Tran-X plate type LSD and of course new Yoko A048-R tyres.....took 3 secs of PB at Loton on practice day alone...

 

However, the season has started and the addiction has begun once again!!!

 

I am looking at getting a Quaife close ratio gear kit from DT:

As any one had experience of this, and is it any use for hil climbs/sprint driving.

 

cheers

i've always been a believer in a stiffer rear on a FWD car. From all the stuff i've read in the past the theory certainly works for me also.

 

I'd just put a 4.4CWP in the box rather than go balls out on a big budget box (unless one comes up cheap)

Hugely expensive for the performance gains I would have thought. On my road car I checked the other day what the revs dropped to if I re-lined it in 1st and it turned out to be a smigin under 5000. This will be even better on a 1.9 box. Do you really need it to be more? 4.4 for tracks, 4.8 for hills, but 4.8 not worth it at the 'new' price.

Put the Quaife ratio's into Sean's BE3 Gearbox Ratios and you'll see why they're worth having.

 

I'm running the Quaife kit on my car, it's the best option unless you have thousands to play with. I'm not using their final drive though...

 

You will see good gains Simon, in racing every little bit helps.

So already running a Tran-x LSD... sorry guys, no totally nothing about gearboxes at all..how would a 4 .4 CWP help me..? Will it be worth going for just that as opposed to the full Quaif setip..? I think WhitePugs runs this setup.???????

 

Thanks

You really are determined to get that record aren't you.

 

I'm looking for a slippy diff for mine atm. Hopefully i may even have some money to get one soon.

That record....well someday!!!

 

Having mad ideas about getting a Mi head and having it BVH'd and camed - I think Ralph Pinder's was a 8v with a 16v head..? and he is making 260bhp now with his dry sump setup
