I have been in contact with PALMSIDE in C/church and they are tring to come up with a Quaife lsd to fit our cars .As you are on the spot would you mind following this up .
If they do fit maybe with some minor machineing they appear to be a far better no maintainence unit

lol Yes, very nice pics weren't they.

Sure thing Rad. I go there every now and then for Race Gas for my Bosses Race car.

Are you trying to get them for the small JA housing? Ive got one sitting in the man cave I could take in there for a measure up.

Shoot me the details at jp_prescott@hotmail.com
How much do they think they can do them for?

Ive got the new springs in the car and have driven it around a little. Still feels hard but way better than it was before. So I think Ill leave the 335lb/inch fronts and 275lb/inch rears as they are for the moment.

As you can see in the pic one page back Im using those sloted camber plates for the rears. Well I was. I dont recommend them to anyone. With these in they lock up the rear suspension solid at the top and make the body flex. I even had one of the nuts that hold them in place pop a thread. The thread was so badly damaged that I had to grind the nut off!
They also felt very harsh on the road when compared to the factory ones.

Yes I was going to do something about this this week. Alex, could you drop that diff in to my work at some stage. Would be good to have one to pull apart.

No worries. Keep us updated - there's heaps of Starion owners that would love to have a high quality LSD.

Been a bit of a problem with my starion...
Its been getting the rest of the tune done.....
And its making 320hp atw at 18psi, which isn't as mush as it should be making at that psi. And the power curve isn't great either. Bit laggy and tappers off after 6000rpm. The tuner said it feels like its got a restiction somewhere in the system. We're pretty sure its my rangi Exhaust manifold. Tomorrow hes going to try it at 20psi, but seems to think it will only make another 20hp.

He said at 20psi it should be making 400hp atw!!! And thinks it will with a better manifold on it. Thats quite a bit of HP Im missing out on!!

Not to worried about it though, as I did have a niggling thought in the back of my mind that it could cause problems down the track. Ill either make a better manifold for it at some stage or have one made by some one.

Still 340hp at the wheels will be alot of fun :)

Heres a few pics of said "Rangi" Manifold
