Re: Midas kit car RWD project

Hi, So after a trip to Glasgow, I picked up wheels from my mate. I also bought rear disc roters, calipers, driveshafts and CV joints from MX-5 specialist. I have chosen VW mk1 Golf wheels for my project. With this wheel, I can measure track width. http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt130/miniswift/I...

Re: 360 LSD Group Buy Thread ...

Hi,

It will be £650 including VAT.
I'm getting 1 made and see if works OK. I might need a Guinea pig for testing!
It is for 360 gearbox and won't be clutch plate type.

Re: 360 LSD.

What do you mean by that?
If you rear wheel steer. Is this mean drifting?

What's tugger?
I'm not very good with these special terms.
I just want to have going side way for fun... sometime.

Re: 360 LSD Group Buy Thread ...

Hi,

You can buy Alfa 75 gearbox and some of them come with LSD as standard fitment.
I wanted Volvo 360 gearbox as it has a torque tube to connect an engine and a gearbox.

I'm getting LSD made in Europe as we speak and I hope it will work out OK!

Re: 360 LSD.

Hi,

I heard that Mazda MX-5 uses torsen type as a std LSD diff fitment.
We all know that they are so called good handling car, so it may work OK.

What does people think?

Re: 360 rear axle and steering column

Hey,

I might be able to help as I have complete driveshafts but I will be using only inner CV bits with half of a drive shaft.
When you come over with John, we talk about this then.

Re: Midas kit car RWD project

Hi,

I think car is still registered as a Mini or they are made in factory as a new car.
Not sure to be honest.
I will look into it once I get it over to my place.

Re: Collection of big mechanical bits for 300s

I'm making adjustable chamber arm bracket for Matt.
I need to get one spare so that I can modify for Matt to try out on his car.
So in the way he is my Guniea pig of my modified parts!

Re: 360 LSD.

Hi,

You will find that they are still very expensive.
Then you have to mod it to fit to our gearbox. So idea is there but if we can get one made for not so bad cost then... I think it will be better this way.

Re: 360 LSD.

Hi,

I have a contact who can make one for £650-ish. It will be Helical/Torsen LSD and I'm sending my spare diff as a sample.
Let me know if any of you out there would like to buy one.

Cheers
