Cheap (new) LSD crownwheels
Turbo Mini Forums

Don't know if anyone has seen them before?

I can't comment on the quality, but I guess the old adage of 'get what you pay for' could be used. Then again, if you assume that the 'first' retailler makes a 100% markup, then this is probably more than MiniSpares buy them for....

I've noticed that they are stright cut, I was under the impression (from you I think Dave) that semi helical is better for CWP?

Hi

I asked him this:

Q: Hi Is this item sold by any of the larger mini sales places? I only ask because if it is it have been a bit more quality tested, so we know how the quality is like. Your price seem very good!

A: Hi The price is very good because I manufacture these for MiniSpeed (very bad payers).They are well tried and tested for over 4 years in various forms of Mini related motorsport

Its a bit dodgy of minispeed to have JK in their part numbers when it is actually not made by JK (that dont even exist anymore I though...)

Ill post up the responce I got from this bloke a few weeks back when I asked if he was interested in a bulk buy, basically I htink he said he would knock 15% off iirc...

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I htink I asked how much he would discount for orders of over 10 units.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I may be interested in a set then...As a 4.57:1 may be a bit exhausting in the new engine...

superb post dave...

I better get a couple of them ordered!!

Well, Im game.....maybe another group buy?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I think a group buy should be organised here, 15% is quite a bit!

I'm in for a group buy :) 3,9 is what I am after :)

theres no reason why they are not up to the job,
i know for a fact that most retailers have big margins on the stuff you see in the mags,
i once supplied some wheels to a chap who was [in my oppinion] mislead into paying a big premium for a 3.77 as he was told there were the rareast,what bollocks, as i could get my hands on about 30 of them at the time and saved him over £200.00,if only he knew at the time,.
nothing wrong with straight cut. i used a 4.9 for three years and its still perfect,

ahh fair play then! I'll buy one now

Team Racing

why now, instead of getting together and getting a discount?

I'd be up for a group buy on one of these,

I assume he'd do a "group" of different ratios?

yea sorry, group buy is what I meant

So..how noisy will this setup be....

SC drops
SC gearset
and SC diff !!!!!!

Holy feck.....I'm guessing pretty damn noisy !!!!!!!

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

you'll only really hear the drops as the rest are mostly covered in oil.

but is that a problem? Its a nice noise!

Who will organise? I could do it, but its a bit stupid as I am in Norway. Joeybaby?

list is like this:
Jimster
Joeybaby
miniminor63
Vegar
mini13
AlexF? (a couple?)

I ran with sc gears and drops with std diff then changed to semi helical lsd. The semi helical is louder than all the rest put together.
Youre right though it IS a nice noise.

I seriously doubt it!

Was talking with Open Classic about this on sunday. Someting like a none pressurised return would probably be ok (maybe not straight from a turbo .. :) ). Not sure how the poor seal on the primary would cope against a jet though.

Given the position of the oil pump what about a small bleed of from before the relief vavle or maybe re-routing the drain from the relief valve???

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

another possibility might be re-routing one of the return paths from the head but you would have be careful about drain rates etc.

I dont mind organising it, but as per the Quaife group buy, some ground rules would have to be set out first.

Ill contact him today and see if he will do a batch of mixed ratios as Im certain we wont all want a 4.57:1

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Righto, spoke to the guy just now, he would like to know what ratios we want, as some he might have, and some he might not.

If we could repost the list with the ratios next to our names, that would be triffic
