To quaife or not to quaife? This is the question.

For road racing, autocrossing, or just taking that curve in style. Oh yea, and stopping!

Our shop (Wagon Works Boise) has installed around 12 of the Peloquin ATBs over the last decade. Zero complaints from customers, all are very happy. These were all 2 wheel drive vanagon campers which can get stuck on a ripe banana peal on flat ground. They really help. I WANT two of them for my vanagon syncro and another one for the 091 in my baja bug ($$$).

UGH! This kind of thing makes it's so difficult to decide. I want, either, a Rhino case with a TBD like this Peloquin or a Subaru box with the reverse R&P for my car.

If I go with the Rhino I'll need a adapter plate and, at least, a good superdiff. With the Subaru gearbox, the reverse R&P is about $1500, but no adapter needed (BTW, I'm installing an EJ22) I can use a stock WRX clutch and I do get a 5th gear. Hmmm.

You can find those with a factory TBD as well.
I suspect the Suby trans will be stronger and better geared for the Subaru motor.

Once you start putting custom gearing in an 091 it creeps up to as much as a Spendeola.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
