Just getting this started to get number's. Already emailed them and will be calling quaife tomorrow to get details on numbers needed and what discount we will get.
If your serious about getting one then stick your names down on here as im sure the more we can get the better this discount would be. If we cant get enough i will ask around other forums.
TSR sell them at £639 incl vat with £12 postage so direct from quaife should be a lot cheaper. Hopefully these will be in the region of £550.

James - if they can do a better discount if a company sets a trade account up with them, then let me know and we can do it through PPP.
-
Ok Andy, I will ask them tomorrow.

Been hoping a group buy would come up for these :)
-
Not entering the group buy - but as a Quaife owner, this will make a lot of difference to your car, but in a good way! It's just as easy to drive as standard, but without lighting up the inside wheel all the time. Worth the investment! 8)

i can second that love mine aswell :)

Ok got an email from quaife and phoned them. Not really that great prices but still saving some money.
They said:
Hello
Thank you for your enquiry, I can confirm that if you wish to order a
baulk buy from ourselves I can offer:
10 people = 10%
15 people = 15%
20 people = 20%
So at £595 plus vat and £10 postage that would be £714. We can probably get 10 so that would make it £71.40 discount and total would be £642.60 plus £10 postage. Same price as what TSR sell them so really unless we can get like 20 people there is no point of doing this.
Andy, they said trade is only a 5% discount and we are better off with a group buy.
Have sent an email to TSR already and Im gonna speak to them tomorrow and see if they can do a deal with us as they are £639 plus £12 postage but i can pick these up.
If TSR cant do a good discount i will post this on club polo and see what response we get from them.
-
i've asked g-ladersiete if they'll do a group buy price.
-
Andy, they said trade is only a 5% discount and we are better off with a group buy.
I think Andy means they might do some better group buy rates for a trade company. So giving it a wild stab in the dark, you might get another 5% off. But I don't see how trade discount can only be 5%, surely TSR are selling at a loss then?
-
I said to them if my friend sets up a trade account with you would it be better but he said only give 5%.
He said TSR might have done a bulk buy at some point and now selling them at a cheaper rate, although i do remember TSR selling all diffs at a cheaper rate a few months back. They did some big group buy i think.
-
I'm surprised that there's 7 people on the list already! Not bad for 24 hours or so!
If we get to 20 then it's basically VAT free! :D
-
Yeah, once i have herd from TSR i will make a decision and see if we can put this on club polo as im sure we can get a lot more.
-
Her from TSR this morning and they replied:
Hi James,
Yes I will be able to sort you out a deal for sure I have a order with Quaife at the minute so please let me know and I can try to tag it on to get the best deal.
Regards Rob
TSR Performance
So they are already cheaper than quaife direct. If we can get 3 more than i will say we want 10 then he can let me know how much they will be.
-
Is it worth a post on Club GTI to get the numbers up?
-
I'd have thought you'd get a lot more interest on clubgti than on clubpolo!
-
from thorsten at g-ladersiete.de we have the following offer
10 Pieces: 799,- EUR
15 Pieces: 759,- EUR
20 Pieces: 719,- EUR
roughly 15-18 euro each to ship
this includesvat
so for 20 = £638 ish (1.15 euro to pounds- all depends on exchange rate we get tbh)
if 1.19 like some places = £616
-
I'd have thought you'd get a lot more interest on clubgti than on clubpolo!
Yeah i was ment to go on club gti, will do that now.
-
So really TSR are the best place. I will ask him now how much he could get 10 for.
-
TSR have said
Hi James,
Potentially £575 but I will need to double check I can add them on to my order or our discount will be less.
Regards Rob
TSR Performance
So if we can get 3 more then thats quite a good discount.
-
I would be potentially interested depending on when you would need the funds and the final price.
-
Hmmm interested, but would need to know payment times and arrangements before i could commit
-
Whats occuring with this? Do we need three more definates?
-
3 more deffo's and we will be good to order.
-
Is it on club polo yet? I rarely go on there, it's too busy! :D
-
3 more deffo's and we will be good to order.
I am interested, but it's difficult to commit to when details are vague....
-
what details you want then?
-
Need a firm price, TSR have only stated a Potential price. Personally that gives them too much leeway for me to commit.
-
Do you have any idea how long it'll take Jezza?
I want to be on the road in 4-5 weeks from now (beginning of March) so I'll have to get one separately from the group buy if it'll be 2 months lead time or whatever it may be. I can't imagine they're sitting on a shelf somewhere and have no idea how long it takes to manufacture something like this?
Might just have to bit the bullet and pay extra :( Unless I can arrange more exciting transport than a Corsa diesel. I want to kill myself daily in that car.
-
Ok i will call rob tomorrow and say we got 10 and what price incl vat and postage will be.
I will have to buy them all and take payments from everyone and send them just so you are aware.
-
Cool, cheers! I can send/ paypal you the money whenever you like. Just PM me with details when you've got it all sorted ;D
-
I am really interested, as stated but need full costs, and expected times for costs and delivery.
£600 is a fair commitment, and although I have it spare, I will need to juggle it with other part buying, hence the need to know timings of cash
-
Any news on this Jezza?
-
Going there tomorrow to drop my car off. Will let you all know.
-
Don't want to keep on, but any more info? I'm gonna have to pull out soon and buy one seperately if it's no further along.
-
Spoke to TSR this week and they put an order through for themselves and he said if i was do this group buy he would need at least 10% deposit then he will make the order. He wanted it this week and i know for a fact that everyone would not of had the money. I certainly didnt after spending a lot on my car for the mot.
Price though he said might of been around £550 but he would need an order to be placed before he got any exact prices. There pretty cheap from TSR anyway and i will be getting one later in the year once i sorted out my car.
-
Well they are £595 on Quaife's website so thats £45 discount. Better than nothing I suppose.
-
the prices on quaife website are plus vat and carrige by the way

I'm not being funny with you, but rather TSR. But what kind of business model involves making someone place an order before you'll give them a price?
-
I think that's more a case of actualy believing that this order is "real" as there must be alot of dreamers and talkers in the modified car buisness. There going to be cheaper than a single price which is pretty cheap already to be honest.
-
Yeah, there probably is but none of us would commit till we had a price, regardless of the fact that it would be cheaper. So I fail to see how they expect to get an order like that. I'd be giving a price per unit based on order quantities rewarding bigger numbers. Not asking you to place an order and then we'll tell you what it will cost.
-
How many people are still interested in this with circa £600 ready to go?
-
If we can get 10 people I can do the diffs for £595 - basically VAT free.
Still trying to work on a decent price for 5-off.
-
I would of said yes but my charger seals have just gone and got stung on import tax for the charger i bought.
I only gave up on this because it only seemed to be a few of us that want it and had money. and its a pain trying to organise it!
When you get closer to the time of deposit required let me know and i will probably found some money.
-
I could just about stretch to that if it's in the next week or two. After that it'll be swallowed up by other things I'm afraid.
-
If we get a deposit date set I will have one dependant on the date
-
Now £570 if we can get 10 people. Any less and it's not really worthwhile.
-
Right, GET adding people.

Good, I've not missed it. My car's still sat there, rotting away with a broken box. The Ibiza is dreary and bland. I need some fun again!
-
This thread is dead I'm guessing?
-
im still in if we get 2 more
-
I'm saving up to jump in with this, dont wanna put my name on list incase it gets to go-time and I dont have the penny's!
-
Andy's on his honeymoon at the minute so you probably wont get a reply for a week or so.
-
I'm still up for organising it if people are interested, just need number 9 and 10 to join the party!!

We're getting there gents!
The leadtime on these is about a week from placement of order, so hopefully we won't be waiting for long once I've kicked things off. The bad news is the price might go up by a fiver or tenner as Quaife have just increased their prices, but I'll see what I can do!
-
cannot wait!
-
We're so very nearly there!
-
fuck it.. im in..
Whats occuring on cgti? Thread could do with a wake-up Andy!
Can bring cash to polo show if need be.
-
Boom - that's the number we need! ;D
I'll kick this off in 2 weeks time as I'm just about to go to India with work, so this should give everyone a bit of time to get the cash ready etc.
I have spoken to the supplier and it's looking like £585 each will be the final price as Quaife have bumped theirs up, if I can negotiate any further discount now I've got final numbers I will! Payment will be in full up-front as the supplier require this and I can't afford to sub everyone in the meantime!
-
Yes
-
I got your PM about this but unfortunately i cant afford it this month as i've had to replace my rear air bags on my golf as i split one :(
GLad you guys have got enough people for it tho, an im gutted i cant join in :(
-
Worth keeping your eye on this thread as there might be time to squeeze in whilst I'm collecting people's money. ;)
-
If anyone drops out I have cash waiting or if you can do one more count me in cheers gaz
-
Sweet ;D
Are you attending the polo show Andy?
-
If anyone drops out I have cash waiting or if you can do one more count me in cheers gaz
We can have more than 10 people, so I'll add you on! :)

Sunday only, but I'll be in my new ricer rather than the Polo.

Tidy thanks andy
-
will the same diff fit a gt box and a g40 one? I know the original diffs are different with one having a bolt on crown wheel, but if it does I may be interested in getting one to run in my gt box until i get my hands on an g40 one to transfer it to.
-
You need the bolt-on crownwheel. If you've got an AHD GT 'box then it's pressed-on, so can't take an LSD.
-
You will probably struggle to get one in a group buy again though so will have to pay full price in the future.

Yeah as Andy says, an AHD code GT is no good for a quaife. You'll need to have the CEH code GT gearbox iirc for your plan to work.
-
when would the money need to paid and to who?, will it be in full or deposit first?

Will PM all the people on the list at the end of next week with payment details once I'm back in the UK and have confirmed final prices with Quaife.
Jezza - let me know if you want in on this. :)
-
Will confirm final prices tomorrow if all goes to plan, so will be in touch with everyone.
-
Chased again today for a final price, once I've got it I can start taking cash from people and get the order placed!
-
Final price is £585 each by the time I've collected them. That will be plus postage, unless you want to collect from me or meet at a show etc.
PLEASE CAN ALL INTERESTED PARTIES PM ME WITHIN THE NEXT 3 DAYS WITH THEIR FULL NAME, CONTACT NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS.
I'll then email you bank details for the payment, and once everyone's paid we'll get the order placed as I need 100% payment upfront to order. Leadtime should be circa 2 weeks from the day I place the order.
-
Can't wait! :D
Anyone getting theirs fitted somewhere? Reckon anywhere'd be up for a group buy for machining & fitting them?
-
Bump!
-
Pmd u andy but ant got any payment details mate
-
Can't wait! :D
Anyone getting theirs fitted somewhere? Reckon anywhere'd be up for a group buy for machining & fitting them?
They don't need machining, prior to fitting i would check the size of the shaft that the diff bearings sit on to ensure a press fit as a couple of people including me have had in correctly sized ones meaning that the bearing was too loose.
as for fittings its pretty easy realy although there is a guide if you have access to or know someone with a press it will be very helpful.
-
I have the money for one now so can i jump onboard?
I'll PM you now to confirm :)
-
I've sent you a PM too Andy but not got your bank details yet.
-
I'll ping everyone details in one mail over the weekend - can anyone else still interested please let me know ASAP?
-
Jose, vwnut & XRich - I need your details as per my PMs if you want in on this still!
Email going out tonight/tomorrow depending on when I hear back from these guys. Thanks for your patience!
-
Emailed everyone who got back to me with bank details.
-
7 payments received so far. :)
-
Whats the news on these now? :D
-
Including mine, I now have 11 payments. ;D
I'll be getting one more payment on Saturday, then if I've not heard from the others nor had payment, I'll place the order next week without them.
dekerf1996, vwnut & jose - please note the above.
-
Andy,
Just paid mine across to you, sorry would have paid sooner, but boss has been on my balls all week!!!
Dropped you an email confirming this too
Cheers
Mark
-
Andy,
I've just paid the full amount for the group buy will drop you a pm now.
Thanks josh
-
Will be placing the order tomorrow, if you want one and haven't paid yet today is your last chance!
All payments that I was expecting now received - will be placing the order tomorrow.
-
Andy,
Apologies it is so late. I have just paid £585 in to your account (should be transferred in next 2 hours - so in by 02.30am Wednesday 15 August). Please add me to the group buy!
Thanks
Peter Allen
-
Order placed, and an update in your inboxes.
;D
-
Any news on these?
-
Andy's currently on his way back from Spain mate, I'm sure he'll update once he's back.
-
Will chase early next week for an ETA. :)
-
Awesome, cheers!
You seem to be living the jet-set lifestyle nowadays Andy! 8)

If it wasn't working on Tata products I'd agree ;)
-
I've been told these are being packaged up to send to me! Once I've got one to package and weigh I'll let people know postage costs.
-
Any progress?
-
We have any news on these yet?
-
Will have an update on Monday for everyone.
-
I've been told these are being packaged up to send to me! Once I've got one to package and weigh I'll let people know postage costs.
Seems I got some duff information whilst my main contact was out of the office... :( No diffs have been sent to me yet, as they wanted to ship the complete batch - and as per my earlier email to you all, they're having to do another production run to fulfill our order. An unfortunate side effect of us being slow in placing the order whilst everyone paid!
Should be getting a call back tomorrow to confirm delivery dates and postage costs, and will update you all again then.
Good news for people that missed this first time round is that there should be another few diffs available at the Group Buy price - I'll hold a 'reserves' list, and it'll be first-come first-served.
-
9 diffs are ready for dispatch, waiting for confirmation on the remaining ones.
Postage on the diffs is £12 each. I'll email the first 9 people on the list for payment and their addresses, and we'll get them out to you.
-
I can wait for mine Andy if someone wants theirs before me. I'll get it off you when I see you next.
-
Sweet dude! Just the inspiration i need to get mine road-going! Let us know re postage.
Andy
-
Cool Sooner the better - Haven't received email as of yet ?- I have the postage money ready let me know and can get it sent over to you.
Do we have an estimated delivery date?
-
same as. car is off the road at the moment with the gearbox in bits. approx eta would be good
cheers
-
You've all got mail.
-
Just a quick reminder to those people who I emailed in the first 9 that they need to get in touch to arrange payment for postage if they've not done already.
If anyone's not arsed about getting theirs now, let me know as Priyesh in the December batch is in a hurry for his. (Sam - does your offer still stand?).
As per my earlier message, the December batch will have another 5 diffs in it also available at the Group Buy price, first come, first served. Please state your interest now:

-
Yeah I'm still happy to wait until December. Not a problem.
-
good stuff, thanks alot Sam. Can finally get my car back on the road. ;D
-
All postage payments received, and the first batch of diffs should be making their way out shortly.
-
Can we expect them next week? do we have a estimation on delivery date?
Many thanks
Rich
-
have the diff's been dispatched yet?
-
Mine arrived today!
It's almost a shame to fit it, lovely bit of engineering :)
-
Just got mine an hour ago. Cheers for sorting that Andy!
-
Got mine 10 mins ago what a beauty
-
I do like getting parts delivered to work! Cheers for sorting this Andy, top man!
-
missed mine :( o wel re-arranged for monday thanks once again andy for sorting this out
-
Yeah thanks Andy! ,
So ive had a busy day today got the gearbox out, changed the crown wheel and speedo wheel over to new diff ready to put back in and noticed this.. 2 missing teeth and one chipped one
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/laluk_22/photo17.jpg)
What do you think?!
Cheers
Rich
-
Not good that! How are the teeth on the opposing cog of that gear?
-
Must say got the diff fitted and back in the car
What a difference!
Amazing!
-
The remaining people waiting for diffs all have an email in their inboxes - diffs are ready for despatch!
-
Woohoo,
Nice one cheers Andy. Payment and address sent.
-
Anybody from the 2nd batch of diffs had theres delivered yet?? because i haven't :(
-
I've asked them for an update as they haven't charged my card for all the postage costs yet.
-
Finally got a reply tonight - turns out their admin person shredded my card details in a pre-Christmas tidy-up and as they hadn't charged my card yet for postage, they haven't posted them. ::)
I'll ring them tomorrow and see if I can get it sorted.
-
I could meet you somewhere and deliver these mate. Im going to shropshire next sunday for a 2 week course if thats any help. Will be right near birmingham.
-
Remaining diffs should be with people in under a week.
If anyone else wants one, there are a few more available at the same price - PM me if you're interested.
-
For those people waiting for them keep an eye out, mine arrived this morning. Cheers again Andy.
-
mine came today ;D
thanks again Andy!
-
Got mine last night
Many thanks
-
Mine's getting fitted with a gear box service / check over at the same time - can't wait!
Anyone registed their diff on the Quaife web site to get the life time warranty? If so, what are the details for the following questions:
Order number?
Invoice number?
Purchase date?
Purchased from?
Andy, can you help with the above?
Just want to make sure there are no complications later on in case there are problems with the diffin the future.
-
