as above, ive priced up the quafe one from quafe direct, its for my 02J bov and it comes to £714 inc vat, then i will need the bolt kit at £136 inc vat, bit scary, just read about the obx ones have weak parts, i will be running around 300hp give or take a little.

Or if anyone knows a cheaper place to get a quafe on or a Peloquin from.

Cheapest option for a Quiaffe diff would be to buy my car - comes witha  free quaiffe already fitted  :evil:.
I am very happy with the Quaiffe LSD but I know the guys with the uk-mkivs Bora have found the wavetrac option very good aswell.

Looking forward to see what it makes when run in. I need to pull my finger out and get saving for rods.
Are you going to the dynodaze/R-Tech RR day in November?

One big thing for me going Quiafe over Wavetec was buying British and keep my £££ in the UK.
03 210 Seat LCR. Badger5 V2.2TIP, Fordge 007p, Wellycooler, Quaife ATB LSD, Nuespeed ARB's, KW Clubsports, 330mm discs, 3" turbo back de cat and still on the standard map!

Has it been left in a field because it's head gaskets blown? To be fair I'd of loved a Maestro turbo when I was younger. Still wouldn't mind a 6R4 either. Look at that photo it makes me wonder what happened to the British car industry?  :laugh:

The metro turbo was epic. I'd love one!
