Right i've just destroyed another diff so what are my options?

Front diffs - what are the options for uprating these?

centre diff- can these be uprated?

Rear diff - The 9" rear ford motorsport 1's are ferkin expensive and getting more difficult to find. what can be done with sensible money?

Just think that these sort of parts are becoming harder and harder to get as the cars get older and will run out at some point.

cheers

John

 

Turn down the power?

Drive sensible?





I don't think there are any cheap options mate

 

In what way did you destroy it - front or rear?

 

Front diff:-
Quaife ATB in Thick wall Ł700-1500
R&D Ł1000-1800
FFD Ł3000+ plus mag sump and LHD rack conversion if you go for the daddy 8'5

Centre diff:-
Think you can get a quaife ATB but they aren't that prone

Rear diff:- not that prone of Esc Cos's but if you have to

Standard 7" diff re-torqued Ł500
Standard 7" casing with Quaife ATB Ł1000
7'5 Inch diff re-torqued Ł500 +2wd beam
7'5 ATB Ł1000 +2wd beam
7'5 R&D Gripper Ł700-1500 +2wd beam
9" Ł2500 onwards or less if your lucky and called Ryan +2wd beam

 

must be something out there? not everybody can afford to go groupA this WRC that, surely i dont have to spend MEGA money just to enjoy my car?

 

 

Or if your fucking loaded, X-trac fully active WRC stuff

 

Just waiting for Harvey to report back on how bad and much its going to cost

 

Once you know what failed, then we can see what you need to do about it .

What were you doing whem it let go?

 

Dont know really! car was fine when i put it back in garage, went to kent meet last wednesday and on the way all of a sudden " oh dear i dont like that noise" was not even giving it large

 

hey not all of us are high flying exec's like you paul! im just a lowly engineer!

 

so you dont know if its front or rear diff then?

which diffs have you broken in the past?

 

Mike, I have just bought a ford 909 thickwall diff off Tim Finch,( not a shonky ATM one ) , is there any benefit to running a steel sandwich plate AND your machined cover plate? or will one or the other be fine? I just want to try and make it launch-proof as possible ...
