Also anyone fitting one ...note the Crown wheel off your old diff stays facing the same way but bolts on other side ...it's how it's designed & machined ... Buy new crown wheel bolts & strong loctite also  I used RTV super gasket seal by wurth ....amazing stuff ! |

I love the diff, 100% agree it was the best thing we've put in the car. Mine's obviously in race spec as well, not sure how you deal with it on the road, it's not nice to drive slowly!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

That's not particularly aggressive and has no locking under deceleration, nice set up for a fast road/track car though IMO! ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Where's cheapest for the 3J? Thought Spooks was reasonable at £664.20 including Vat - but experience tells me that they must be cheaper elsewhere ________________________________________  |
