...sorted my suspension out today properly so it works, which is nice!
went over to marriotts to play in the rain with it, he took it out... diffs rock!
never driven the car hard since i fitted the diff, so it was nice to have a play on the way home, love it, recommend one to anyone, regardless of power lol

450 ish for the diff i think, i got an old box rebuilt aswell when i had the diff fitted to it.
difference is very amazingly noticable, ask robin, driving slowly then the car feels the same, give it death and instead of the usual understear, the car actually wants to hit the middle of the roundabout or what ever your driving round!

Good are'nt they.
Have you got an atb or plate diff?
You can see why the focus rs that came standard with an atb lsd had all those reports of veering off into a hedge under acceleration now...... wimps eh
If you like the diff you'll be amazed if you fit a straight cut gear kit.
i had the quaife kit with 4.53 final drive and the difference in acceleration was staggering. the ratios are much better suited to a screamer of an engine like yours.
topped out at 115mph @7500rpm tho lol
get that put on your shopping list for next

atb, was going to get a straight cut gear kit, but think id have been stabbed by the misses with said gear kit!
got a 4.18 final drive to fit when i get chance, its currently flying round the back of my car....
would got for a 4.53 quaife final drive but my cars still an everyday car so it would be a bit of a pain lol!
mate has one in his nova, goes thru the gears well!
