Getting my boarg warner diff modified to suit the torry, its and LSD but found out its floged out. you hav to expect it, as most v8 holden drivers give their cars a hard time.
Its gonna cost another 900 bucks to get it rebuilt. :( NOT HAPPY JAN!!
anyhows went for the locker option as it was only 500 bucks fully rebuilt and put back togeather ready to go, and i get my LSD centre back. Im hard on the diffs and just think its gonna cost me more when i screw it up just like the bloke before did.
i know ittle go good down the drags but arround the race track pple say that its gonna make me under steer and handle like a dog? is this true??
the other options were a diff that lock
s on and off , cant remember what it was called , aparantly the v8 super cars use it. It was 1900 bucks so i didnt take any notice.
there was another option that was 1300 bucks , and it was sumthing similar. but this diff is getting blown out of budget as it is.
what do u guys think ???
Thanks guys

The Torsen gear style diffs apparently have the smoothest action, providing very smooth transition from on/off throttle while still providing full differential action. Not cheap.

Fine spline axles: How hard will you be trying?

Hell NO, Definately take spare axels, and even with spares axel you mightn't get home. I've alway had welded diffs and now gone to a nine inch finally as axels are getting rare here in tassie. When you break an axel sometimes the bit that gets stuck in the diff is very brittle and when you try to tap it out it shatters therefore you have 5 million little bit of axels floating around in your diff which will end up stuffing the center. Otherwise you have to pull the diff center out tap the axel out and then put it back in, but when you do it this way the other axel breaks soon after anyway.i take spare axles with me? would it be ok to drive there, race, and drive back from brisbane?
If you've got a bit of power which you have and a welded diff, you would be very game to drive somewhere, race, and drive home, Unless you take a spare center and a few axels. I got sick of doing this so went all out and got the 9 inch, cost me $1800 all up for housing, 31 spline axels and 3.7 ratio reconditioned center with a minispool.
Cheers

you didnt get a locker, you got a mini spool.Heya!!!
anyhows went for the locker option as it was only 500 bucks fully rebuilt and put back togeather ready to go, and i get my LSD centre back.
the locker i think is about $600 supply only.
spools are great. no drama when you get used them. far safer than a single spinner or worn lsd!! (no bullshit either)
