Right its cold already up here so i been staying in saving money.. plus i get ma pay rise in xmas' pay..

im havin a bit of bodywork done ova winter, just minor things but im fussy and want it mint for summer. But i also would like a limited slip and a type 9 going in as i can get flat out in a relatively short space, and on a dual carridge way i may aswell just tottle along at 60 rather than kill my engine and my ears..

I know whats needed to fit a type 9, but my question is..

What and whos LSD shall i go for, ive read about so many my head is spinnin.. anti torque biasing, salisbury..

no idea.. ne advice welcome..

nice 1

 

Belive A stands for auto.

What do you want it for, drag or circuit/fast road?

 

auto.. fanks..

gonna mainly do fast road n sprints.. but will do a few days at pod hopefully at shows etc

 

Correct

 

For road and tarmac track use - Quaiffe ATB
For loose surface - Salisbury plate/clutch type.

the quaiffe ATB is much more civilised for road use.

 

Quaife ATB is very good for the road. Check www.gearboxman.co.uk for price's and im sure Bernie will be happy to advise you more

 

my money would be on a plate for the mk 2 all day long

 

on gearbox website now avin a browse.. nice 1..

i fitted a FR32 when i got it, and got the power bug, once ive done the majority of wat i wanna do which is body work, cage, lsd, type 9, il do the engine sum more..

wanna stage 3 head, and overbore to 2.1 and will trade ma twin 44 id's for sum 50 or 55s. so should shift a fair bit more then.

 

I've used both, the ATB is much more civilised for the road - no snatching, banging etc when the preload breaks away, and no need for continual dismantling to maintain a constant preload as the plates wear.

On the loose though, plate type works better, as it does not rely on both wheels having a degree of grip to work, the plate LSD will drive one wheel with the other completely unloaded (I'm not telling u Mark - I'm sure you appreciate this already!! )

 

youmust have had a rough diff then m8 , yes i will agree there is a certain amount extra noise from these units at low speed cornering , but unless the preload is massive then for road use the noise will be more than acceptable !! and i never had to replace the plates in mine yet !!

 

just been lookin at atbs on bernies site.. good price compared 2 burton
