As soon as you go to a LSD, you need to machine the casing and that takes a fair bit of time...

Depends what you want from the car. X pin diffs are a lot stronger and more durable than std. LSD's will transform a high powered car by controlling wheelspin and giving more traction.

The quaife is a great diff, got one in my 205 track car. However I wouldn't recommend one for everyday use over high mileage, due to the design they do wear themselves out over time.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

so far for sure we know trannex ones do
Yep ! Got the bolt heads machined down on mine, this meant i didn't have to take quite as much of the casing away. Phil.

The gearbox casting does most definately need machining/modifying to accept the Quaife lsd. I've just had to do the job myself. As for the JKD equal length driveshaft kit the man you want speak to is Turboharry, he is the only guy that I know of who's running one on his turbo mini. |
