| Re: Limited Slip Diff If your going for bigger power 300+ your better off fitting a six speed box and a Quaife  There are a few on here with them!

| Re: Limited Slip Diff but to answer your actual question yes they are available and cost around £650 for the diff alone, any competant garage/tuner should be able to either do teh work or get a local specialist to do it.

| Re: Limited Slip Diff So a Quaife Diff would appear to be what I need, is there a problem with keeping the 5 speed box? |

| Re: Limited Slip Diff No really as long as your not going for silly power. The weak link is the diff, the rivets give way but with the Quaife you sould be replacing them with bolts anyhow. £625 + fitting. You will have to get the appropriate oil for the gearbox as well, dont run on regular oil.
