Something like that :) lol.

People need diffs if they're looking to carry on modding and love their lcr's there's isn't a much better mod.

I've been saying that since I've had mine fitted. Very worth while mod.

Looking good... How would you rate the Awesome clutch kit now its run in, any issues?

As it says really, its been awesome ;)

No issues. Been perfect.

Yep agreed :) So much more grip and useable traction for fast road use.

cough 4wd cough

No thanks, far too much work mate.

Would rather just buy an Evo. I take my hat off to people having a go at it though.

Took the car to AmD today to get the re alignment done as it needed it since I had all the clutch/diff work done. Also got the car raised 6mm roughly all round which is 1 click on the coilovers.

Doesn't look like a tractor and rode a bit better to me on the way home. No scraping on the drive so win win. Drives perfectly straight now too, lol. Good service from AmD as usual, spot on. :)

Next up is MOT in just under 2 weeks, road tax end of Jan and insurance end of March. So I'll be quieter on the mods side, but will try squeeze some bits in which I've got my eye on.

And what I ordered last week hasn't arrived for this weekend which is annoying but it should be here by Tuesday so maybe fit next weekend.

You guys aint shittin' about the need for a slippery diff on a souped R. Had mine out today as the roads were dry ( used to be was JamJay's) all that power just wasted away in wheel spin. That will be my first mod along with a boost gauge in a vent pod. Who does a gauge to match the white face red digit clocks?

How much was the wheel alignment bud? & do you know if they adjust the rear beam mounting points if they need doing? Reason i ask is i have just had all these bits powder coated and refitted to mine but not 100% sure if all has been fitted to old mounting point holes (hard to tell with powder coating on) If your not sure il bell them sometime during the week.. :)

Haha, they help massively! I can get so much more power down now, and tonnes more grip than previously without the diff. Brilliant mod. Like I've said before, not the cheapest but they make the car much more capable IMO.

Autogauge may do red face gauges mate? Mine have a red needle but blue numbers on them. It looks alright I think. Best place to have a look is on ebay.

Have you considered a liquid gauge if you're thinking about definitely doing it in the vent by the driver's window? £225 but an awesome bit of kit does way more than tell you just the boost. I'm still tempted despite cheaper options around for using my phone as a diagnostic tool.

If they need doing I'd imagine they would adjust them mate. AmD will look at anything you request really and can 99% of the time do what you require. It's around an hour's labour to do it properly and they give you a print out with all the camber settings also. Give Ben at AmD a call on Monday re the price as it may vary depending what else you want/may need doing.

Alot of people think a tricky diff is only needed on track. How wrong they are...

I fully agree with that! :D

come on Tom spill the beans what is it , cant be much left to buy for your car

New LED rear clusters. Had my eye on these for a long time now but never got round to doing them. Will freshen up the lights a bit and make it look a bit more 'modern' - to me at least. I like this sort of thing :)
