Thanks peeps, I've ordered the 181WK.
Thread revival
Ring gear is 113mm
Wavetrac 10.309.180WK or 10.309.181WK?
Looks pretty clear cut from that but wouldn't mind hearing from someone who's had one fitted.
The reason I was staying away from a plate lsd was I thought doing plates would be an annual thing
But if I could get 75-100k before replacing, this changes the thinking
I've got over 180k out of my stock clutch, stage 2 for 100k of that and plenty of spirited driving, burnouts and track days in there.
Reckon I'll get 180k out of a set of diff plates?
Sambb those...
I spoke to Dave in the UK about his Quaife and it came with the bolts. I've also seen most shops sell the ARP kit separately.
I hear you with the suspension setup. My local wants me to run MCA...
MFactory do torsens and plate diffs, the part number above is for a torsen.
The Wavetrac looks to be about $400-500 more than either the quaife or the mfactory; that's not a deal breaker to me....
I was hoping you'd chime in.
Kaaz will likely be a no-go for me, I know they will be better but for a daily I don't think I can handle the maintenance of a plated diff.
I am building a spare gearbox (from the legendary Squib) but it's not pulled down yet and I have itchy buy it now trigger fingers
Hola
Currently giving the pogo a birthday with a new clutch, SMF and gearbox overhaul. I'm taking the opportunity to drop an LSD in.
My options seem to be
Quaife QDF26R (02R listed)
MFactory...
Msg sent re 9n exhaust mani
How many ks do you get out of a set of plates?
Should last ages if you use a good glue.
I repaired one with araldite years ago, heaps more than the glue VW used, it'll out live the car now.
Also unplugged the heater element as well as that's...
RSRs when new are ok in the wet. Heavy downpours less so if there is a lot of standing water
Everyone said they were terrible in the wet but honestly I had good grip initially. I am a fan of the wet...
The RE003 are a great road tyre
On the track, less so, that's where I noticed how much better the RSRs are (not R1R but they are in the same segment so to speak)
What did I do to my polo today
Saw the passenger side mirror start to wobble
Oh I've see what you're doing there mr mirror
Pull over, rip mirror off. Will glue back on
Interestingly, this is a...
Vent to air is aids for polos
3 inch TBE with 3 inch dump on mine
Magnaflow rear muffler and mid resonator, magnaflow cat
Too loud imo
On my to revisit list one day
I reckon you'd struggle to get that intake on a gti, the intake mani would prevent it.
On this motor the exhaust is at the front giving a bit more real estate to work with.
A beer bottle lid fits inside pretty well too. Bit of silicone, bobs your uncle.
Yeah just pop it in the boot. I'm going to do it at some point anyway to get back some engine bay space.
Looks like it'll be a orders of magnitude shorter intake
Man that checker plate manifold is INDUSTRIAL
Send me a couple of pics and an indicative price. lee at rgvlee dot com
I have a darkside copy but I am interested in putting a genuine one on for the sole reason of saying I have a genuine one.
Is it a genuine seat sport one?
