I'm not absolutely sure myself. I put Steve's e-mail there for anyone who would have questions. I haven't built my trans. yet, but when its time, I'm sure I'll ask many more questions many more times. Keep in mind that Rennsport is strictly a Porsche tuner and this e-mail was regarding a 915 build, however a Bug has the same general similarities. IMO I believe the Quaife is definitely better than stock for any type of driving, the ZF style is just apparently better in some situations. You really have nothing to worry about. Didn't mean to alarm you..... just for reference.
Hehe... Thanks for the note. Does anyone have input or thoughts about this? Since most of us run street car (instead of track only), would the Quaife make more sense?

Is it the case that the Quaife was developed for motorsport and the ZF for mud/sand/snow?

Quaife has a better website than ZF :D

I've sourced a ZF with cryo'd discs and 181 'flanges for my '79 T1 and I need to make a decision sharpish:confused:

Well, if you do decide to give up on the ZF, let me know. I'm interested in it. :)

Come on Matt, either sh!t or get off the can!!! ;-|)

Guys, I have more than one IRS ZF, talk to me.
But don't e-mail me at the addy I'm registered with, I don't use it. Instead, use this one:

Do you use one yourself Bruce? (ygm)

I've had the one in my car since '96. I've since driven it about 130,000 km.
I lock it up every day:)

Someone above talked about the maintenance required by a ZF. Other than changing the gear oil, I've done nothing.

That'll do for me.

Email me the neccessary :)

Hi, I have a Quaife for the IRS. Let me say "it one well made carrier" I have not installed it and I will be doing the rebuild. I will get my parts from Long Transmission. I bought a jig from a friend for 50$ without the gauges and I will get the gauges from Long. Between the Berg book and the Bently manual I should be able to do it. The quaife and and fifth gear from Wheddle will do it.
