Hi all
I did not post initially because this was hot off the press, ie. the GTD factory visit.
This news is out months before the transaxle has even gone into production. Yes there
is a lot of speculation but please be patient give Quaife the time to sort out their
marketing and production stratergy and to test the potential of this trans before you
demand performance figures.
I was fortunate enough to go on the factory visit for which I thank Quaife for their
hospitallity, and I was very impressed by their facility.
Having recently demolished a Renault gearbox on my trip to Le Mans, I for one want
to install a transaxle that is made for the Job and can handle the power.
From what I have scene you are welcome to go with the miriad of transaxles that were
designed for 2 or 3 liter European cars but when you get seriuos, you will want either
a ZF, Hewland, or the new Quaife.
Quaife has the best of reputations in motor sport and their engineering is second to
none. Ford themselves are dependent on Quaife for differentials for some of their
sports models here in UK.
Robert Logan is in contact regarding this transaxle, why not get in touch with Robert
as he has asked, and maybe he can help to clear the situation and present a united front on behalf of this forums members. Then hopefully we can all benefit by Robert’s
efforts.
Regards
Chris
