    Bang, and the diff is gone!

    I can now say that the v8 torsens are rubbish for big power. I had heard they were a problem on the V8, but thought i would give it a try.

    After a unsuccessful dry launch, i have now found them to be crap.

    Check out the pics and beware any of you using these, as i have to find another diff as the casing is damaged.

    Wow what a mess. Does that mean the standard S2 diff is better than the V8 one or worse still?

      Pheck mate that is well and truly knackered, saw the car pre crunch on the MRC pitch and it looked great. Guess its back to the drawing board then.

      Didn't see you to introduce myself at the weekend but got stuck in the mud at the trade stands Looks like you had your hands full anyway.

            Hah... looks like yesterday was a fun one. What digital camera are you using? You using a macro feature, coz those are some pretty good close-ups. Nice diff, too

              I had a good laugh, not that bothered by the breakage, you learn to expect certain things to break when you are running this sort of power. I have a spare diff, so will be back on the road by the weekend.

              Had a good run on saturday, but it was pouring with rain. Did a 12.5 1/4mile and 4.1 0-60
              Would be nice to see what something like big dub or grants mk1 would do in the wet? The diff broke when trying on sunday in the dry ah well!
