I know about the Quaife diff will it help or are these just mainly for track use?
Reason i ask is couldn't resist the challange set to me by the lad that owns fads old corsa only problem is it was wet and all as mine did was spin in 1st 2nd and then a bit in 3rd. What can i do to combat this or do i have to put up with it.
Thankyou kindly

When its wet and you put your foot down in a fwd car with 200bhp+ its gonan spin 
Control right foot ease the power on till you have traction 
Other than that decent tyres and lsd will help

thats what i was thinking - racing should only be done in the dry. 
Easier said than done in the eagerness of handing someones ass to them that was a joke.
LSD is bloody expensive tho - feel it maybe a good investment tho

What tyres you running? As that's a major contributor.
And LSD are worth the money, but course you gotta justify the money spending on it, good for santa pod 1/4 mile times i'd imagine though if that's what your into also
