360 LSD Group Buy Thread ...

After reading the thread HERE , I have decided to start a thread for those that wish to get a lsd.

So, if I have read correctly, we need 5 as a group buy to achieve a price of £650 (inc VAT?) for each lsd.

Well, let me start a list:-

1. Nate x1
2.
3.
4.
5.

The only thing we would to to iron out (again, from what I have read) is what angle to have the diff (again, don't know what this angle thing is about).

All I'm saying is that I want it for track use, hence not wanting a welded diff, but instead an lsd.

If we were to get say 10 units, would there be any further discount available? I'm only asking, as if you don't ask, you don't get ;) , I have had no contact with the company, so don't want to go calling when I have no background with them. If we get some 'definate' numbers together.

Could I please ask, that if you would like to add your name, please do so only if you are definate, as we wouldn't want to mess the company around that manufactures them ;) .

No one interested ?

After seeing the other thread and noting a few of you were up for them, I thought there would be more interest.

I wont be getting one for a 300 transmission. In the near future i'll be swapping over to 928 running gear, and if i can find the right one it'l come with a slipper, so no point in wasting the money on one for a 300box :) Thomas.........

It should be, just trying to find out as much as i can about the transmission at the moment. Then i need to acquire the parts and put it all together, which shouldnt be too hard :roll: :roll: haha Engine spec will be revealed when i come around to it :) Thomas..................

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!

Cheers

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.

Cheers

As long as you are in UK main land, it will be.
But let's wait for 1st one to be made and see how it is.
