Very interesting.

You may also like to read this on the Wavetrac diff.

I have one of each but they're yet to be installed in a gearbox. I'm looking forward to comparing them on the track.

i recently purchased one will be installing along with shorter final drive,
longer fifth gear and stage 2 sachs clutch with lightened flywheel should work out good just gotta find time to get it done

[Peter Jones]

Who's installing the diff? (If it's not rude to ask?)

I'm looking for someone to rebuild 2 boxes for me. I've had a couple of suggestions but haven't chased anyone up yet. Waiting for some finances to sort themelves out first.

I've got all the bits just need trustworthy labour now.

i go to volkwerke in greensborough to get most of my stuff done
(MK2GTI) Chris and his dad Loyde runs the shop they do a very good job
Loyde from what iv heard has had a lot of experience with gearboxes over the years so i dont doubt he will be able to handle it.

No secrets on here!

One diff came from our good friends at GAP.

The other came from Parts for VWs

Their gasket sets and rebuild parts are good value too.

Autotech has them too

I was able to sea freight them back to myself when I visited the US earlier this year so I can't tell you the air freight charges but I'd be guessing about $100 for something this heavy.

Yeah...like ''buy one rack and pinion set from Tim and receive a free peloquin LSD!'' I wish.

[mk3pete]

[MattyT]

Matty, Yes we should see if we can get 2 cheaper

[MattyT]

I just read that wavetrac writeup, looks pretty interesting!

I'd love a quiafe, but only because I'm under the impression they're the best. I have no sound technical basis for that though. All I know is that my car would really benefit from an LSD of sorts.

Steve your idea is interesting... very interesting
