Would love one. Been quoted from 1200 notes for the Quaiffe from several places.
Shame we missed the exchange unit at AMD early in the yr.

Another year or two years now. Not worth selling for a Cupra R and the Golf R20T is severely overpriced.
AMD never ended up selling that box by the way.
Any reason?
how long do you need the car for to fit the kit?
Thanks.
Approx 8hrs labour.
My DSG ED30 is just being put back together as I write, with a shiny new Quaife in place.
It is properly scary Mary watching the DSG being cracked open and having the OEM diff drilled out
I looked at the Wavetrac, but they don't do a DSG version, so opted for the Quaife over the Peloquin.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")

What else you upto tho mate? Engine out and your keeping quiet
I just bought a spare Cupra gear box with the exact code mine does for a reasonable price
It is getting it sent to a reputable dealer who will fit a Wavetrac diff I am going to supply him with in January
WALK arrived today too
Nice good way round it.
Still yet to fit my WALK
Willie is getting a box done for his car in this same place so we will have the 2 boxes shipped up to us at the same time in January all going well. It will mean that we will save on postage and also that I can just have my car booked in somewhere to have the gearbox changed.
Now thats done, I will need to look at clutch options (will prob go with a new OEM clutch from David at SERE) and more importantly to reduce rolling mass, options for lightened flywheels.

Thought about getting a lsd so many times over the last year or so, but for some reason always held back at the last minute, thought id only get the best out of it on track days and i dont do that many, infact none so far lol.
Would be interesting to here peoples thoughts when they get it fitted, been thinking of buying something similar to jonnyc's red team dynamics and getting some r888's or similar for around the same price as a diff.
Just been reading about wavetrac's diff and does seem the best option with the whole no load ratio=no power in other diffs. Guess ive got some decisions to make.
It might be worth while doing when my clutch goes tits up as it carnt be long now with nearly 25k miles and at least 5k with stage2+.

From what I have heard, track days are only part of the benefit of a diff. An LSD will reduce wheel hop, it will allow for faster road driving courtesy of better ability to set off up through the gears and better ability to pull out of corners on a twisty road. In both cases, you should be spreading less of your tyres on to the road (leaving a single black strip).
Look at documented evidence about the R26 Megane and the Ford Focus RS - both are reported to be aweome for quick A to B driving. However what really sells it to me is that both are quicker on something other than a straight line despite 60bhp or 140bhp less than a Stage 2+ Leon with a fast road set up (KW V3's etc). A Stage 2+ Leon ultimately is a victim of its own strengths due to inability to put its power down effectively.
I have the Pro Race 1.2 wheels already, and may well go for some 888's also, but ultimately, I dont think the wheel and tyre combo is going to be a better or most effective way to go quicker than an LSD although it may not be any worse either. Having all 3 would be best

Having all 3 would be quite expensive but im deffinatly wanting the red black combo of the TD wheels, something a little different and thinking back to the evo test betwwen the r26r and RS a diff will be on the horizon shortly after and me out of pocket for the next few months lol.

My R888's will be back on in Feb/March.
DanGB - the main reducer of wheel hop is a combination of a hard damping set-up, engine and transmission mounts and the WALK kit
