I saw the engine yesterday, Looked brand new! I think your car will need a wash though Marco!

Chrissy

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

i cant here you chrissy..

In my eyes, Joe or Jake has washed a valeted the car every day forthe last 4 months..

LA LA LA LA LA LA

I don't undertand how a cardboard box with QUAIFE written on it will transform a 300-350 bhp coupe into a "complete animal" ?

really?

that box sitting in my passenger seat will make the most difference to any car

I must be being thick then, please explain

you not thick Dave..

i assumed your just having a laugh.

im having a Quaife fitted to my car.

as the Quaife is an uprated LSD and after going out in JBT's car at spa, the level of grip ect that his car gave showed this would be a worth while upgrade.

And the improvement was all down to the Quaife? Not any other suspension/engine/wheel/tyre differeneces? And what do you do with the viscodrive, chuck it away and replace it with the Quaife, or are there two Quaife units, one for each wheel to replace the CV joint? See, I am thick, really

Marco, it's a cracking read this thread. Congrats for sticking with it! I look foward to the read once it's all back together with the Quaife fitted.

Dave, from what I have seen, the viscous drive is deleted and the Quaife diff replaces the actual diff inside the gearbox.

Does the Quaife make you a better driver then? If not I'll still overtake you

Was all down to the driver not the diff

from what i could tell, the quaife makes a massive difference!!
the Visco gets binned along with the OE diff, then the quaife & replacment seal gets put in.
when it gets fitted i will take MANY photos to show whats what to make life easy in life!!
you will see!
and like i said, your not thick... juat special
LOL



Paul - regardless of what power ect, im not stupid to race you theres crazy then you

with the amount of drifting you did i had to check it was not RWD

JBT whats your opinion on the differences between Quaife and Standard diff/visco unit?

best to get first hand experience!!

how is this a cracking read??

i read it back and besides the spelling i want to hang my self!!!

just makes me think why did i even bother!!!! should of just invested in some tesco finest petrol and some matches!!

The diff doesn't make cornering better IMO.
Take the French lad Regis and Barbz at spa.
They cornered faster than me so it's down to the minerals.

I backed off as I was reaching speeds I was uncomfortable and unfamiliar with.

Fitting wise this will be a classic case of why one should seek advice.
Watch this space.

Well I want whatever minerals they are on then

Allegidly your born with them it's not something you can buy.

Either way I have never seen such quick yet scruffy driving.Hats off,was great to watch

i can trust the fitting, after all we have fitted over 200 + Q2 diffs and Quaife diffs to customers car's and not 1 failure to date

im happy with them numbers

getting excited now, i may have it back soon!!

this was fun to watch!! they where truely going nuts!!
they both did not want to back down
i love this one pic of Barbz's car

Haha quality

You stuck with it mate, when many, many people would have thrown in the towel. That's true commitment, and why it's a cracking read

yes marco has stuck to it and he has show alot of commitment but on top of that it has been the forum spirit which has kept him going aswell.

cant wait to see it going again

If it was not for the forum and people I have met and people who have helped that car would be in bits and bunt to the ground then laid to rest in the scarp heap.

You really know how to treat a girl

Good stuff Marco

Glad it's going well Marco.

Great to hear she's back on the road, will you be bring her to Ace on thursday?

Yep!
see you there

Good

That is all

Great to see its all up and running now Marco.

Good luck with it all and keep us posted,

Now you know how much work, stress and money goes into it, this is why it is alot easier and cheaper to buy one thats already done, is your Forged too?

Have you set a date for the mapping?

Alright mate!

see, the stree was all involed with the componets used.
I.E bent crank, damameged block ect.

mine is not forged, is a fully lightned and balanced.

the joy about my build is.. ive built it.

if some one else was doing this, then it would of cost them a sh*t load more in man hours.

i would always do it my self.
thats why i did all my courses and got my tickects!

if i was not able to do it my self..
then buying some thing like your would be the best option.

ive worked out in balls deep around 10k +

mapping is set for around the 30th!
