Thursday but this is the first time I've been able to stop crying long enough to post it, lol.
It's not too bad actually Ant. I'm going to post in my RR thread so as not to hi-jack this one so if anyone wants to give me any sympathy or maybe just to laugh at my driving and call me a ****** the link is below.

What diff you thinking about Rikko?

 

[Rikko]

Looking at the Peloquinn from jabba mate why do you recommend something alittle better bud

 

[Willie]

Well, going by all the write ups on the new one it sounds like the mutts nuts.

I'm getting mine fitted to my spare gear box at the end of this month.

So this wavetrac willie sounds more like how a traditional limited slip diff would work, albeit more technical, rarther than torque biasing, sounds good in the description, my only concern is how it "locks" up and transfers power to other wheel, would it be smooth or harsh, pulling car from side to side?.

 

[Willie]

From speaking to 'others' who have this fitted its as smooth as.

I'll have mine in and tested by March so I'll do a full write up on it.

 

[james walker]

if its owt like or better than the quaife offering willie, youll friggin love it mate

I still can't see exactly what you have done.

Any chance in a quick MS Paint sketch

 

[LEE69]

The cable originally went on the pin to the right of the cable, now thanks to nuts/bolts it goes, well, where it goes

 

[DannyC87]

as lee says, the cable used to locate on the pin to the left (in the pic) of where it is now. I drew a line between the pin and the pivot point; then drilled a hole 40% of the distance along this line from the original location to reduce the shifter throw by 40%. I then threaded this hole, inserted the bolt, then a nut the other side, cable on and then another locking nut

 

[kineticz]

Subframes should arrive tomorrow so I can fit Corbeau Carrera recliners

Spray and fit side skirts
Redo calipers
German plates
Rear upper strut brace
Good detailing of car and cleaning inside
General maintenance

If I can afford it I'd love to hybridise my ko3s and fit a LSD but that's wishful thinking and I'm not bored of the recent stage 2 yet.

EDIT:

Oh and THS dog bone mount
Rear whiteline ARB

 

[J0N]

I really like this mod. OK, so it's not fully adjustable but it's not £75 either.

With more time it could be made to be adjustable; simply drill out the old pin and create a slot instead of the hole I drilled. You could then slide the bolt and lock nut to the desired throw length and tighten to hold in place.
