The diff wont be hard to drive as my RS Focus had the ATB Quaffe dif in and I never suffered torque steer with 300bhp. The power delivery was different though as it had a torque limiter in 1st and 2nd, though 3rd gear was amazing! 30 to 95mph in one gear, so twisty roads were eaten up.  Just remember not to lift off when cornering as the diff wont work properly. You need to keep the power (to an extent) on so the dif will send the power to the correct wheels and pull you round the corner. :driver:

Looking great now Mike. Cant wait to hear your impressions of the diff. I loved my Mk1 Golf with Peloquin fitted. Was an animal to drive.

Alex has smashed out some more work today.  Inspected Clutch & flywheel, put box back together with Diff, renewed a load of hose clips and sorted oil leak, removed WALK, Fitted superPro inserts.

Just fettling of wings & fast road alignment  :party:

Massive thanks to Alex.  Ive been informed of progress & findings every step of the way.  Im 100% returning for Chassis polybushing and further tuning!

The VWR /  Vibratechnics lower mount when it was fitted was either raunched tight or no copper slip used and Alex is having to drill it out & re - tap.  :sad1:

The small dogbone bush has been upgraded to Vibra technics as the OEM one had perished.

The inner WALK bush on the passenger had started to show signs of wear so I had that replaced with the SuperPro inserts in OEM consoles.
Im ordering replacement bushes for the WALK and am selling it.

Fast road Alignment & arches rolled should be done by Friday  :party:

Fingers crossed no more niggles are found along the way!  :sick:

Had updates everystep of the the off Alex.  Looking forward to going back already for some Poly bushing & custom fabrication.....  :party: :party:

Glad the worn bits / damages have been picked up by his attention to detail, although its frustrating the extra costs Im really glad to have bits all renewed and made right.
