Where did you buy the LSD from?, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?.

i got it from jabbasport through my local garage GI Motorsport as they are a vendor for jabbasport maps

but because i bought a sachs race clutch, jabbasport single mass flywheel, quaife ATB diff, slave cylinder and master cylinder i got some money off

think i managed to get the quaife diff for about £500 + VAT (thats at the old rate of 15%)

*UPDATE*

Well after fitting my WOT BOX my engine threw a wobbly, it decided to bend the conrods

So i'm off the road atm, while the car is at Midland VW awaiting the engine rebuild.

Some goodies that arrived today:

I was going to take it straight back off but after spending 4hrs fitting the thing I couldn't be ars*d.

 

[sambryant]

i have heared so many horror stories, i wouldnt risk it if it were me. anyway sorry to hear you need a engine rebuild

Bad news mate is it down to the wotbox that it has happened do you think?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

I know i was gutted but it will be back stronger than before.

I think it's a combination of the box and running over 300lb ft of torque on standard rods.

I want to uprate my rods and I'm not even running/going to be getting a wot box at all.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Wot boxes are great not taking mine off no way there an awesome bit of kit the rods could have bent at any time

 

[Deleted member 12147]

True they could have but the car was running fine, I bought it with it remapped so has been running that amount of power for at least the 3 years I've had it. I literally WOT shifted 6 times and I bent the rods.

Don't get me wrong it's a wicked bit of kit BUT imo I think it needs to be used with caution AND with uprated internals.

haha you mad man, money to burn

 

[seanaldo1987]

yikes man... bad news about the rods

another reason why i'm slowly picking up bits and pieces right now so i have a fully rebuilt bottom end with uprated rods just to swap over. especially if i'm approaching 300bhp and over 300lbsft of torque after i've got my FMIC installed and got my hands on a badger5 3" TIP before my upgrade to stage2

 

[Murdered LCR]

Hi mate what else are you getting changed apart from the rods ? I'm thinking of worst case I need rods etc just wondering what else needs replacing

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Rods, bearings, cambelt kit, waterpump, gasket kit, oil pump, oil pump pickup pipe.
