How much does the diff add for fast road driving, with a bit of track action?

Am looking for a diff to add to the driving enjoyment - plus I can imagine it'll help things when trying to put the power down from bodies?

lol, in the past have used forge for silicon hosing for an induction kits/aluminium tubing that'd I've made up for people in the past so put it on there.

No really been bothered to take it off - suppose Forge is more for turbo parts, hrrmmmmmmmm, I'm sure will come off in the future!

dannygti · 1st February 2009, 21:02

most people relate forge to dump valves and intercoolers lol..

definately get a lsd mate after youve spent so much on it. it will improve things more than most of your mods.

Yeh, I think I will do, just depends on cash flow really.

Also, am tempted to fit it myself, just send the crown wheel off to quaife to be fitted onto the diff. Might buy a duff box to take apart and see how it goes together, only one way to learn . . . . . .

raunchz · 1st February 2009, 21:07

Also, have got some 306 gti-6 injectors for the throttle bodies, have been ultrasonic'ly cleaned so one less thing to think about!

I wouldnt have an ATB diff if you dont intend on doing alot of time on track.

on a country road for instance it will throw you about if you dont hold on to the wheel properly.

That's the thing - ultimately (at the moment) this car is a road car. So don't really want to compromise it too much (saying that with the thought of screaming bodies on the motorway!) If i was to track it right now, it'd spend maybe 10% time on track, 90% of time on the road.

Maybe something to consider in the future.

Thank for the advice!

Ryan^p · 1st February 2009, 21:13

the diff is great but you do need to know how to drive a car with one else you will have more problems than benifits imo

raunchz · 1st February 2009, 21:16

From memory wasn't that one of the complaints about the old Focus RS? That the diff was a bit too 'much' on country roads, but great on the track.

raunchz · 1st February 2009, 21:17

Just won some 19mm torsion bars on ebay cheap, was looking to replace my 17ishmm ones for standard 19mm ones, is a cheap mod and should make it a bit less under-steer'y especially when the 24mm ARB is fitted

raunchz · 1st February 2009, 21:48

Here's the spec of it as it stands - the things in red are to be fitted once I get a chance.

106 gti 16v engine
Piper 4-1 manifold
Green panel filter
Group N Engine mounts
GE Quikshift
Supersprint centre section
Piper Backbox (to be purchased)
Uprated hard rubber exhaust mounts
Janspeed boxed' decat
Piper BP285's
Catcam followers
Jenvey TH42 bodies (tapered to fit 45mm trumpets for extra choice)
Sandy Brown Inlet
45x60mm trumpets
306 gti-6 injectors
3.5bar fpr
ITD Sausage filter for the bodies
Jenvey 'stepped' backplate (50mm deep)

Raceland upper brace
Sparco lower brace
Spax PSX front & rear shocks
Apex front springs (about 35mm drop)
23.8mm Master Cylinder
Hi Spec Billet 4 Calipers
Mintex 1144 pads
Hi Spec grooved front discs
Braided brake hoses (in place of the rubber ones)
Rear Powerflex mounts + rear beam fully rebuilt
Front powerflex bushes
Rear 19mm torsion bars
Rear 24mm Anti Roll Bar

Some random 15" multispoke alloys (I think something like BRC or something)
Toyo T1-R's

raunchz · 6th February 2009, 14:39

UPDATE - 6/2/2009

Piper Stainless backbox just ordered - gone for the oval tip, should fill the bumper recess nicely!

And have ordered an external billet fuel pressure regulator holder, for the standard Citroen FPR's - this should allow me to alter the fpr in the future if need be!

In terms of standalone managent - am torn between Emerald (love the software, and getting it mapped up is cheap) plus I love the challenge of creating a wiring loom for it, so is something that'd keep me busy ! IF i went for this would maybe look at setting up a group buy of them, might be able to get them cheaper

OR the Datashift PnP ECU - Andy is local to me and the ECU is cheaper and won't need to alter the engine loom a lot to get it working, just the throttle pot.

what do people reckon to go for ??

tony84 · 7th February 2009, 07:17

loving this car thinking of fitting a 16v in my vtr will prob do it myself just need to find a sound engine and loom if any body knows of one give me a shout

Would definatley recommend it!! Have learnt sooo much from doing it and is satisfying knowing you've got it going yourself etc. plus have saved soooooo much ££££ by doing things myself! Plus I know they have been done right!

lol, just buying things for the Saxo when group buys are going on etc.

Like the throttle bodies were part of a group buy 30% off! And am working on a placement year at Uni, so am just plowing my earnings into parts for a fun summer!

We should have a massive bournemouth meet in the summer, mayeb a bbq somewhere in the New Forest. Go for a good drive, some pics of the cars and food. . .

raunchz · 7th February 2009, 09:17

Edited.

raunchz · 12th February 2009, 21:26

Oil cooler kit ordered !! Gone for a thermostatic take off plate - should help keep things cooler when the bodies go on !!!

Am looking to buy a Innovate Lc-1 wideband - just trying to decide on the colour guage to go for !

raunchz · 13th February 2009, 19:57

UPDATE!

Have ordered an LC-1 wideband - didn't go for a guage as didn't think it would be worth it.

Also, have decided on going for the Predator PnP ECU - is good value, Andy is local to me, and uses megatune so there's plenty of help out there is need be. Have been in contact with Andy and he's excited about mapping it so should get some good results and a real driveable car !!!

Provisional fitting and mapping date is early April!!! Will get some pictures up next weekend of the bodies + all the gear I've bought to go on !!!

Just need a good week with the car to fit the bushes, torsion bars, ARB etc.!
