Yeah got CNC knuckles now so cars fine... LOL

He was just a bit winded lol straight in the chest hahaha

I must say, the lightened longer chassis worked a treat, its quicker, jumps better and has better control! Plus now i've got CNC knuckles my car didn't break!!!! I was in penenden heath today has a good laugh Here's the short vid, had a slight accident LMAO Video

As above always take electrics and engine out when cleaning. As for more water resistant when bashing? I've never had a problem with the hyper its good standard...

I put my standard one over the top of the new one lining up the front, everything lined up from the front diff housing to the engine flywheel groove. The only difference was the back diff housing mounts being futher back

It basically has moved the rear wheels back slightly, only by about 10-12mm. So the weight is slightly forward, suppose to help with steering I think.......

Just consentrate on the HSN for now, once you get that right its usually only a tweak on the lsn anyway. I've also given my mid range needle 1/4 turn anti clockwise, It seems much faster from doing that but I wouldn't touch that until you've gotten used to tuning. Its a skill you pick up in time...... You can tell if its too rich as top speed will be lower so just do as it says in the guides with 1/8 turns at a time, you'll find it'll stall to begin with as you open the throttle, this is because its too rich so keep turning the HSN clockwise 1/8's until this stops.... I find after a while of very hard bashing you end up richening the HSN slightly anyway as the temps get so high it leans more natrually.

I got a result it cost me about 16 quid with delivery.... I wouldn't have paid new price from jespares though unless i was rolling in it....

I've just fitted the long chassis to my hyper, I liked the way they channelled out loads of material in places which you dont need it. Plus I have the ally centre shafts which are a hell of a lot lighter than standard. Not had a bash yet though so can't tell you what difference its made, it seemed pretty quick in my garden

My mac 28 goes pretty fast, i wouldn't swap it for anything at the moment.

Excellent, cheers mate...

The protection has come away from one of my bell house bearings, I dont have any spares so thought i'd buy some but does anyone know the size of these so i know which ones to buy??

Its not as bad as that mate, honestly I know many who say they have less torque steer with quaife diffs..... I get torque steer due to wheels spinning on my real car which is stopped with quaife. Its running 290bhp throught front wheels and can do 160 mph..... Clarkson's review was crap, you talk to an owner and guage their reactions.... RWD cars can just as easily put you in a ditch without and traction control

Nope but I know many who have quaife fitted to there cars and I will be fitting it to mine soon. Well you can..... Just dont get caught.

Its totally fine to drive if your a good driver and a hell of a lot quicker.

So why did ford fit a diff like that to their focus RS?

It changes the caster angle... Good for steering.

I will have to try get a vid next time i bash.....

Don't think i've seen all power stopped from the front, it just biases it towards the rear rather than just spinning fronts. When you pull away all 4 spin, as the weight goes to the back those have more grip so the power goes there (but never stops going to the front), once you reach a top speed or back off the throttle a bit the power returns to more like a 50/50 split. If your cornering it will balance the power between fronts and rears dependant on the corner... Its weird really you can only have a go and see. The good thing about them is the off power steering too, because you dont have that thick oil in the centre (I have a spider centre too) you get better off power traction as the diff is working correctly.

Its actually faster to have more power at rears, thats why F1 cars are RWD and the bias of rally cars us usually torwards the rear. You need to use the rear wheels spinning as a kinda 4 wheel steer. Yes its not easy but when you crack it you fly..... I think in race conditions the torsen will beat a normal diff in certain corners...... normal diff with thick oil in others...

There is still friction from just having the wheels connected... If I have the front wheels i the air they spin a little then the rears kick in and it goes over the object with ease. Before it just span the fronts... I find I can drive the car on all surfaces now flat out with grip from thick wet mud so slippy hard mud....

I find it totally fine, you have to get used to more drive at the rear wheels as it drifts more, you use less steering etc.... But its much better than standard diffs IMO. Its the acceleration which is crazy, no more wheel spin it just goes!

Can't remember now about 20 quid i think....

Its all to do with gearing mate.... Quaife make ATB diffs for road cars which are simular to torsen diffs do a search in google. They use satellite gearing to achieve it....
