Who's fitting the diff for you? Would be nice to hear some feedback once fitted as you mainly use your car on the road?

Also looking forward to seeing your opinions on these upgrades and to see how much a difference they make.

Yep DG doing the work and he is getting Dave H to fit the diff to the box. I have had an S1 Elise with a Quaife ATB diff and for me it transforms the car. Nothing worse than an inside rear wheel spinning all your power away. I will post my thoughts next month once I have it fitted.

Fast road Sachs one of Courtenay sport in the end I have no plans on going past stage 2 and they say its ok upto 270bhp and my car swas RR at 237bhp

[Graeme Lambert]

Surely it's torque, not bhp that matters for a clutch?

Yep it's torque what generally kills clutches

It's rated to 275Lb/ft about the same as my car It has the OEM clutch on at the minute with 50 thousand miles on it and showing no signs of slipping so I'm pretty confident it will be ok.

Sam.....it will be fine.

[Bumblebee]

I'd of gone for one rated higher personally just to be on the safe side (if your going to be right on the limit of what it's rated to) but I'm sure a lot of it comes down to driving style i.e some peoples oem clutches start slipping at stage 2 and some don't Just IMO though

Yeah I can see what your saying but with the OEM clutch holding up fine I am happy with the fast road one. Time will tell

Car dropped off with DG for diff fitting (nice to finally meet you mate) looking forward to Monday for a very sideways drive home

Take it easy Sammy!

[Sammyturbo]

Just arrived home safe and sound with alot less tread on my tyres than when I set off

 

DG seemed impressed with the diff I am going to have fun getting used to it over the coming weeks

[Duncan VXR]

More than impressed, fully converted! So so so much better in these bad conditions and silly fun where allows for drifting and even straight line traction epic Not sure you 4.3 neg camber at rears helped lol but cheered me up for the week. I have driven a LOT of vx220s of all specs and I need one in my vx! Glad you got back ok same no doubt that diff will get used DG

Yes, keep us updated. You always drive the VX to the max so it will be interesting on your thoughts etc after using it for a while.
