I have been leaning toward the Audi 01E transaxle but want to make sure I am doing the right thing by getting it.
I love the Griffin 960 that is coming out soon but it's about 50-60% more than a strengthened Audi 01E. The Porsche G50/930 is great too but it's a bit more even (German metal must be forged from diamond I guess...at least Porsche metal). Same with all other options that can handle, or be made to handle, 500lbs of torque (ZF, etc.), save the Renault UN1.
Given that, I'm kind of in between on the 01E and the UN1. I've dug around and it seems that both can be upgraded to handle the torque reasonably reliably at almost exactly the same cost (around $7500 or so with a LSD). The Audi is a six speed unit and the Renault a 5 speed, but that doesn't really bother me much.
So, if both boxes were about the same strength wise, and both boxes were about the same cost wise, can anyone make a case why one would be better than the other?
My set up is a LEFT hand (American) drive and the shifter will be in the center BTW.
