NoLimits Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 From what I have read recently on TechTalk - do a search and look for the most recent discussion. Its a bit long and my understanding is ..... If you realy drive hard - jump kerbs on track days and sprints etc. then its the ZF If you need a lsd but your quite calm the the Quaife is fine. ZF will by all accounts induce more understeer so you will more than likely have to set up your car again to reduce this. Another subject again. By the way I have the ZF and have had no problems to date. MY 51VEN Give it some Welly Edited by - NoLimits on 13 Nov 2005 09:05:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I beleave the the ZF is the one to do for, but the ramp angle needs changing. Adrian has one in his, and was geting lots of understeer ( well that was his excuse 😬)so he went and got the ramps changed and he said it sorted out the understeer. I am sure an expert will be along sone to tell you, whats what. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S. Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Malcolm, If you're getting it primarily for sprinting get the ZF, what's the point in compromising & getting something that won't work at it's best under all track conditions. I didn't experience any increase in understeer when I fitted my ZF but it must be modified to reduce the preload (I think to around30 lbft) otherwise it will make your car very snappy. R&R did a great job on mine while I waited, they get the modified ramps in ready to just swop over (it's Road & Race that do the developement and fettling work for the diffs that CC fit). The other thing you hear people saying about the ZF is that it's noisey, well mine isn't, apart from the odd clonk when on light throttle - definately not an issue. Also it's a ZF that CC fit and not a Quaife so if a torque biasing type is better surely they would fit a Quaife BRG De-dion, 2Ltr Dunnel Zetec 165, now with slippy diff 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
