s1 rallye VS quaife gear kit - Saxperience

sexy_gt · 8th July 2011, 22:56

as above i think either one will be my next move, already have an atb in a vts box but its too long.

quaife kit worth the vote? who runs one?

id like to max out 125mph 5th 7,800 15" rims 50 pro tyres

currently reaching 125 in 4th!

stew

its not just the lower 5th gear speed but the factall the others are alot closer --first is good for around 40mph --not 23mph --and how many times are you just wrong geared onthe track with std ratios --nearly every corner
so yes worth the money --there are two sets of ratios avaialble as well .
I can offer discount on quiafe price as well -more if you could find a couple of other people

yer quaife gearset is the best option to go for.... expensive step too... like john said it not just where you want to top at.

if you ring quaife up they could sort you a gear set that would get the most from the engine....

s1 box are ok for the pick up of revs the rev drop still the same... and with most n/a engine it not that good as it drop a bit too far IMO on my car anyway.. but i like the s1 box as it sort of helps with that as it pick the revs up faster, so can get quicker to get back in to the power band.

i am thinking about a quaife gear set.... i am going to be talking to quaife themself about one...

really a long first gear then short 2nd 3rd and four gears is the best way and a longer 5th gear for longer straights.

but like i said all MA gear set are the same...

if you have the money then yes defo get a quaife gearset.

cheers lads. im pleased someone has replied to this lol.

AndySAXO^p · 16th July 2011, 11:22

Yer it a fun box really not best suited but works better maybe a XSI box would be better as know few who run them like it.

Would need to get the diff of the final drive it on vts box.

Maybe save for a Quaife gear set? I am doing that I think at some point.

sexy_gt · 16th July 2011, 19:55

Hey money is sat here lol just dont want to blow it on a daft change of gears

AndySAXO^p · 16th July 2011, 20:14

Yer full Quaife set about 2k..... Maybe worth talking to quiafe, see what they can do with a better ratio, will make the engine work so much better. Will make you quicker too if you get the correct ratios

sexy_gt · 16th July 2011, 21:33

john boy (gmc) tells me about 1300mark delivered if i remember correct. i have an ATB in the vts box already.

AndySAXO^p · 16th July 2011, 21:55

yes but quiafe price is plus vat,buying all those difs has given me better discount ,which i pass on where possible
there are 2 kits c/r + homologated --you can see the ratios on quaifes site

sexy_gt · 29th August 2011, 18:58

john possible group buy?

Barry123 · 29th August 2011, 20:05

Might be useful to add the quaife gear set to the Saxo calculator... Completely irrelevant but might be useful to people with highly tuned engines (narrow power bands) to predict rpm changes and that. Or even for engines in typical tune to see the benefits of the gear set.
