Chow I have heard that Vladim has his with the stock diff, and they say it holds fine. however I am in agrement that the quaiffe is a fine idea to help put that power to the ground!

No, Vadim is running a Quaife.

Hey I might drive down there to see it, oh yea and I also have to visit my sister, almost forgot!

I would like to hear more about this as you progress through the various stages. I am looking to do this possibly as early as this summer.

Good luck.

Keep me posted! I'm looking to do a swap when my 2.5 SVT gets tired (75k now) I wonder how much work the heads will need at that point(and how much it will cost!)

TIA
Flacoman

DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roger I saw and drove Vadim COntour SVT 3.0 and I must say weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I LOVE IT!!!!! **** I wish I had the money to do it too, but one thing for sure I'll be doing is getting them Racing seats, they held my Asain ass in soooo good. Much better then my lether ones. hahah Well to anybody who wants to know the car screams!!! through 4 gears(couldn't go any faster didn't want to get a ticket) man'o man what fun... wish i was rich

Hey chow give me an estimate for the 0-60 time, even if it's a very brief estimate. I've been in my friend's 98 cobra and that is a 5.5 0-60, so what is the 3.0? 5.7, 5.9? Stop teasing.
I hope you are serious. I might be coming down to LA soon so maybe I could meet with you guys, if that is ok with you guys of course.

Hey there British Banger I didn't have a stop watch in my hand(and even though I did I still would want BOTH hand on the wheel) But I can tell u this, in 1st gear after 4 grand u still need to baby it or u get wheel spin and then when your in second still have to careful, In a way I can under stand why there really not that may front wheel-drive cars what have like 250hp@ the wheels its sooooo dam hard to STICK. Never the less I wish there was a buy-now, pay later program Vadim could offer, this is one mod that puts a grin on u in a sec. WOW REAL POWER!!! I felt like a Mondeo Touring Car Driver

does he have a quafie differential

I am extremely interested in performing this mod, especially since I found out how to get a Quaife for about $650 bucks in england. (wait a minute I'll be going there soon woo-hoo). Any info you guys could get to me as to price, phone #'s, amount of installation needed, would be extremely helpful. thank you.

Hey KC2000SVT, where in England are you going to? I lived in Chievely (spelled wrong) when I was a child, and have visited Cambridge many times, what a beautiful area to drive in! Don't suppose you could pick one up for me! I was going to go to England this summer, but have decided to get a summer job instead to pay for things done to my car. Send me an e-mail.

Listen up Arslanyan.

Get off the crack you smokin'.

The price of the Quaife is 555.00 UK pounds.
That's $811.00 US.

That's with the UK VAT included. If you ship
it out of the country, they will deduct the
UK VAT, which is 15%.

So, it's actually cheaper to buy it from
the US, and have it SHIPPED to the US.

I didn't even end up paying the 2.5% tax
I was supposed to, so my total came out
to be about $770.

You save about $40 if you buy it from
Demon-Tweeks, instead of NFS. Demon-Tweeks
has cheaper shipping charges.

John

If one more person asks me if "I am serious" I will ****. I just paid 1200 for the motor today. I saw it, and touched it, I even picked it up for a sec, well, tried to. The car will be done 2 weeks from today. I will have MSDS headers, ported butterflys in the manifold, and the intake and exhaust will be port matched to the heads. I am going to use the SHO Shop off road H-Pipe, and I will use the factory exhaust with a straight through muffler in place of the factory resonator. I'd like to have a 2.5" cat back exhaust, but I don't think I'll have any money left over. I will try to take pics. Work begins a week from today.

Hey there Roger I got your back, I saw and touch your black COntour thats getting the 3.0 change,Even one of the mech. there are abit mad cause your getting done before they are, but ha its all good
By the, where did ya get that SVT licence plate?
Chow

which block are they using? from the escape, taurus? or are they all the same?

yeah, is this the Taurus short block with SVT top end?

British Banger...

Yeah, both places sell the Quaife for $700.

John

Is Demon Tweaks based out of England or America. Do you have a web address or phone number for them?

Hey Guys,

Is this Quaife the very same Quaife sold here in the U.S. for $1200 or a different brand/manufacturer and if so, just as good?

The quaife in the us is dist. by Autotech Sport Tuning. I got one there when I worked there. I can tell you that $700 is very very cheap. You figure that after you shipped a diff here it would still be in the $900 range. If you do bring one in yourself good luck. The exclusive agreement that Quaife and Autotech have says that no one in or from the us can buy a diff. unless it comes through autotech first. Wether quaife cares or not when you are on vacation I don't know. From what I hear autotech has already spent 200K in legal fees chasing people around who are trying to back door the stuff. I can't wait to get my 3.0L in though. I have a new stereo, and slotted rotors waiting to go on. I am trying to get ferodo fast road pads, but I am trying to see if they are available right now. 1 week and 6 days.......

F*ck americas legal bullsh*it. What could possibly go wrong if I get my uncle to buy one for me (in England), take it out of the box and stuff it in his suitcase. What would the airport security (Forgot the name)guys say "Uh yea, this is one of those differentials that autotech has the exclusive rights for importing only". yeah right like they even know what exclusive means.
OK if I am overlooking something, then tell me.

3.0 E0 SVT,

you trying to tell me it's illegal to buy a
Quaife from England? Bwaaaa. Come on. What
are they gonna sue me for? Buying their
product?

I got it shipped for $78, so the total comes
out to $780 shipped.
www.demon-tweeks.co.uk

They don't have the part listed in their
catalog on the website, but e-mail them,
they can get it for you.

John

The housing looks a little different, but it
will fit no problem. Or at least it's supposed to.

John

So ah can I get the "about" price on this mod (the 3.0 Liter) after installation and head work and all?? And maybe even an e-mail or number for it. Thanks

Damn you guys are bitter. I was just stating that.I don't give a **** what you do. I was just sharing my experience. All I was saying is if an american went to quaife in england they might not sell you a diff because of their agreement with Autotech .That's all I was saying. No need to get all wet about it.

Cost on the diff at autotech is about $600. That includes shipping costs.

Thanks to sharing the MTX-75 with the Focus, the Quaife for the MTX-75 is now only $875. Take a look at the Quaife website and check out their catalog. This used to $1275+ ... a discount of $400!

But who sells it for $875?

Didn't think I could be more clear ... Quaife has it listed in the official catalog ... anyone tries to tell you different, reference this link:

http://www.quaifeamerica.com/price/pl2001r.PDF

I was off on the price by $20 ... it's $895.

[This message has been edited by fastcougar (edited February 02, 2001).]

Check out SP Motorsport's website, they have it listed at $1095 - a new reduced price from $1295.

What is their new IP address ... DNS points to an empty directory.

Correction SP's new price is $1075 not $1095. You can also get a rebuilt transaxle with a Quaife for $1999 with a $1000 core charge.

Try this url - you might have to cut and paste it. http://209.221.154.139/

What's the labour cost usually with the Quaife install?

It's generally 9-11 hours of labor. Not cheap The whole subframe has to be removed and then the transaxle. Then crack the case open and swap diffs. Not a quick job.

You all forget 2.5% import duty on automotive parts from UK to USA.

Terry's Website

That brings the total to a whoping $917.38. I have a feeling that retailers know that by droping the price only $200, they can increase their profit margin I don't blame them ... I would do the same!

Mine was $791 shipped.

Turned out I didn't even pay the 2.5% import
duty tax.

FedEx just left it on my doorstep. Hell, I
was surprised it was FedEx, and shipping only
cost $78...

John

All I have to say is, JVT is the man with the UK Quaife and everyone, or at least I am, is waiting to see if it fits properly in his MTX-75. When it does, let the ordering frenzy begin, b/c I will be getting one, with a new clutch and probably a lightened flywheel. My first steps to a 3L. Now, I need a better job to afford all this!! John, get that damn Quaife installed!
