Bang, and the diff is gone!

[dan_b]

That's what tends to happen with modding doesn't it - power goes up, reliability goes down

[Rusty]

That's well and truly phooked good wir sir!

[Jamo]

...so that's why you take your girlfriend to inters! Jamo obviously expected his car to break down too I don't think we put up the best show of reliablity this year did we lads

Yeh yeh funny haha , she was there to stop me buying any bits or cars at the show!

After the show this weekend I've bene looking at Golf Mk1's

Better get this damn stroker done 1st though.

Regarding the rear diff, well I think thats one thing i've just crossed off my wish list.

[audiman]

Yep, will not be recommending that to anyone! I also found the car to be more tail happy, something which looked cool, but could catch you out if you werent careful

[Chris M]

Some serious damage there mate. How did Beckys car go on?

You still on for doing your MK2?

Cheers,

Becky did well, 6.3 0-60 15's 1/4 mile
Not bad considering it wasnt mapped with its new turbo

Project Mk2 will go ahead in the future. Got some good ideas on how i want to do it. Watch this space.

i heard the car sounded awsome thought it was the dubwiser golf at first , looked like you would have had a good launch before it went bang.

[audiman]

yeah i think it would have been. The front tyres lit up as the tread was all scuffed lol

Bad luck with the car Tom - guess you won't be selling her for a while now?
How you get the car back home?

Would have been pleased with those times in mine
Back to drawing board eh?

[s2driveruk]

jeez thats been well chewed up, get a good old 3b one back on

[4WheelDrifter]

LMAO Proper f*cked. That'll learn ee wo'nit.
Get a lockable diff back on. I know a man that's got a few spare.

[Faheemo]

I dont understand .. why does everyone go for the V8 rear diff then ?
I guess its better for the twisties rite ?

[S2central.net]

'k me that is a bit worn alright... I wouldn't go worrying unnecessarily about the reliability of the torsen rear diff - Tom runs big power and with that aggressive launch of his on the drag strip then the weakest link in the chain is going to complain... Very loudly in this case. Still ain't fitted my rear torsen diff but this don't alter my plans as 1) I never launch that aggressively and 2) even if I did I'd never stress it as much as Tom... Circa 350bhp and 550Nm is about as max as I want to go.

I spoke to Jeffer yesterday and he has had no problem with his, and has done similar things with his car.

Oh well, guess i will see if a stock 3b one is any stronger. My guess is that it will be
