Quaife Gear Kit!!!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section!

I am in need of some help, if anyone can point me in the right direction i really would be truly grateful!!

Currently my car is in pieces waiting on a Gear Kit, i have been chasing Quaife to try and get a completion date for 1x Gear Kit, they have come back today and told me at least 4 weeks, probably running into May before any Full Gear Kits will be ready.

Apparently they have most of the kit in stock but are waiting to have the Input Shafts made, this takes 4-5 weeks to make 1!!. My car is currently at Hiteq, Ian has told me that he has been waiting for 2x kits to turn up since Nov 04, every month Quaife add another month onto the manufacture time!, I've only been waiting since Feb 15th approx but the thought of having to wait another 6 weeks before any progress really is annoying.

This is not a e-mail knocking Quaife!, it's just a desperate owner trying to get his car back!!.

If anyone can tell me where i might be able to get one sooner i would be very grateful!.

I would say forget Quaife and go PPG in Austrialia. They should have it in stock. Just the shipping time is your only wait. www.ppgearbox.com.au

Thanks :wink:
Not heard of Pfitzner Performance Gearbox, anyone running one etc etc?

Bit dubious about performance gearsets from Oz going by past experiences! :lol: :wink:

there have been some right horror stories over the years because people went with overseas manufacturers,especially when it comes to gearsets :wink: :evil: .

my advice would be to stick with quaiffe :shock: if anything does go wrong,you're protected by British law or you could just send the boys round :wink: :lol: bit difficult to send them round if the company happens to be in germany though :wink: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I hope that anger is directed at Quaiffe and not myself as i had the box fully rebuilt and insepcted by a well respected gearbox builder and the sentence could look like you were angry at me :wink:

Thanks for all your help guys!

I have spoken to Quaife today, they have told me 4 weeks from now, to be honest I want to use the Quaife items as I have used their Diffs in the past and they have always proved to be strong and reliable.

I guess it's just a case of waiting, still while I am waiting it gives me time to look at other things, I'm going to have a go with D2 Coilovers and a 2 point lower brace bar, hopefully this should improve the handling over the Koni set up at I have the mo.
