Hey guys. I’m considering fitting a Quaife diff to an otherwise totally stock car. Keep hearing good things about them but unsure if I’ll be able to tell the difference on a standard daily driven road car.
I’m interested to hear any LSD equipped owners reviews and thoughts.
The best value mod for you right now? Maybe not. I reckon you'd get more benefit and pleasure from a good suspension and geometry setup. Or better still, a big brake kit.
The right time for you to do it? Maybe not. If you wait and do it when you need a clutch doing, or other gearbox work, the labour cost comes right down. Otherwise you're taking the box off twice.
Hi Partyvan. Thanks for your thoughts and they make perfect sense to me. I’ll hold off putting it in until I know the clutch needs changing.
I have considered the FRSU but want to leave the suspension stock ride height as it’s a daily driven car and I’ve had enough of potholes and speed bumps where I live.
FRSU can be done without adjusting ride-height. You'd need camber bolts for the front (or camber adjustable top-mounts) and camber arms for the rear. Other than that it's a trip to a reputable place with good alignment equipment.
Hi Chris. Sorry for the late reply to this. I really want to get the car up on a ramp / lift soon and have a thorough health check done. Which bushes usually perish and need replacing? The car handles amazingly but I would like to make it as tight and fresh as it was from the factory.
I’m seeing Grinspeed soon so will ask them to have a look.
Just an update I went ahead and bought a brand new Quaife ATB and OEM Honda bearings from Momentum Motorsport. Now thinking if I should fit immediately or wait until the clutch needs doing? I thought my clutch was faulty but realised the pedal stiffness was due to me being used to low mileage moden day diesel VW's and Audi's with soft easy to use controls. After a few weeks of EP3 ownership I've learnt to use the car properly!
Thanks guys. I need something to compare the car to. I don’t know if mine is normal or stiffer than it should be. It catches halfway between the floor and top of pedal travel.
