Hey, I just recieved this e-mail from Quaife America and I'd thought I share it with you the rest of you.

"Thank you for your interest in Quaife. The ATB diff for the Tc has been developed, and is due to be released late this year. Please stay in touch with us in the fall, as we will have more up to date info on it then."

 

thats great news.... i will be a buyer!!!

 

woOt!!

 

saweet. add that to list (but pushing it up to the top)

 

bad ___!!!

 

Anyone have any direct experience with their products? I have heard good things about them, but know no-one personally that has used them before. This would be a great thread for some consumer experiences before it actually comes out.

 

all my 3g eclipse buddies use them. mucho better than phantom.

here's a generic 411 page:

quaife is a torsen based diffy

Quaife = $$$

But, Lots of Mini owners swear by them.... Prior to the OEM LSD being released for 'em.

Plenty of Bang = Plenty of Buck

In a whole different class than Phantom IMO.

 

Excellent product. Installed one on an '03 SRT-4 (before they came w/ em standard). With it installed there is soo much less wheelspin. This mod is going to be especially good for those with high FWHP, cause getting traction on a FWD vehicle is pretty tough.

 

i bet if ZPI's scion(12.12@115) had this lsd then it would hit 11's easily....... i can see 11's with 14psi

 

That's right. ZPI would have ran 11s with an LSD. The LSD is a must for any person going FI.

 

LSD's are great for any car, FI or not.

 

Just to drop this ahead of time, we already sell Quaife. When it's released for the tC you can bet that we'll have it. As for now I'll just be running an ACT street clutch until this unit is available.

 

how much is it

 

No price since it is not released. Typically they run anywhere from $1000-$1500

 

holy crap, thats reeeally pricey. *takes it back off the list*

i dont race so i dont think that i really ned one. i just wanted it for snowy/icy weather. haha,

 

yeah its' usually around $1300 but if you're doing an install, do the clutch, flywheel and LSD at once and save on labor

 

The LSD itself is around 1000 bucks. You will need to pull off the transmission and open it up to install one of these things. Most tranny shops will charge you 400-800 bucks to get this one. Like Matty said, while you're at it, you could upgrade the clutch and get a lightened flywheel.

 

How will it affect handling??
