You have done well if you paid Ł150 ish for it my best advice would be to clean it up and sell it for approx Ł1k ish and buy a gripper diff !

My atb works well in my fiesta but I only have 180 horses at the moment and will never put more than about 230 through it!

One of my friends in the city had a supercharged V8 m5 engined beast that made more than 800 bhp he had a Quaife diff that was fine BUT it was made to order and he had to provide max power and torque figures!
