What about a Drexler diff? Ive heard very good things about those. I'm guessing they are ridiculous money too.

How much lower is the top speed with the 4.1 diff then?

ive heard a drexler or plated diff will be noisey, unbearably so

as for top speed who the feck knows-never go that fast anyway, do you?

Christ! Plenty fast enough IMO, I've done 150mph in mine and that was plenty fast enough, most UK tracks don't have the straights to pull much more anyway do they?

Nope.

As standard it is geared for something silly like 206 in 6th, presumably to make it nice on the motorway, it doesn't stand a chance of getting near that.

Assuming 206 in 6th then 4.1 gives you 182mph.

Alledgedly, you can wind it up to over 170mph down the A509 Newport Pagnell by-pass, but do a slow pass first to establish that Plod isnt sitting in his camera van on the overbridge first ! .... thats only if you were inclined to try such a thing ... personally its not something I would partake of, as its sooooo illegal ! .... just thinking out loud really ... and talking fluent bollox !

You should be able to get a really good deal and then sell the diff you have left at the end, all reconned

Nromally costs you £1000 for diff but i reckon you could do it for £500/person

don't really understand the whole deal....my poor english speaking/writing.....but think i understand the global thing.

what could be the price just for the 4.1 crw/p ?

so group buy anyone ?

Keep up chaps, i've had mine fitted for almost a year now....

All good apart from higher cruising rpm = lower mpg

Nice to see you back Bealo!

Is the MPG difference quite noticeable on the motorway against the standard car?
