How much are the FFD diffs then? I have just bought Kevs 7 speed ffd box and interested in upgrading my quaife's. More information and less slandering is needed on this thread or people will start to think there is the odd bit of jealousy kicking around...............

7.5 will go in standard rhd,is that not why it was designed??????????
8.5 is in a lhd car but lets face it,mines a group A car,as group A as you can get,iam right handed so naturally a lhd car is the only option.
as mark says we will be niased as used our cars purely for competition / motorsport,i wouldnt fancy doing the gumball in mine!!
mind wouldnt fancy useing a "kids club" diff to do it with either.

martin,not bolshie at all iam fooking english for starters mate!!!!
i just reacted as i always will to any R+D product,they are wankers to deal with and their stuff is shit,iam talking from first hand regular experince of them,anything ive had or used or any dealings with them has always turned to shit,even collecting an evo 7 shell from them 4 years ago went tits up,they do not have a fooking clue what anyone else in that building is doing,this leads to mistakes,big fooking huge mistakes!!
iam spoilt with proper stuff admittedly but its well worth the time effort and hard work to get the right kit,why go halfway?either do it right or just dont do it at all.

Martin..i hope my parts are done..i dont like to think you are putting the internet over them 
TBH i think Martin is saying that the MAD engine YUM has wont have enuff horses to trouble that diff
BUT then thats me being cynical and to be ignored as my parts may take longer

i was going to say stepping of but not with your gearbox , but you might have misconstued that into thinking something else
as for the 600hp on the r+d box - all i can say in you were lucky
but.. in saying that, you will find more r+d gearboxes that destroy themselves in competiton rather that standing start/dicking about/topspeed runs, all i will say is the faut tends to be reverse after thought
