IMO for a road use only Mini, an LSD is overkill. They make your steering heavier too. But I would fit one if rallying or racing.

Crosspin diff is stronger than a stock one, and plenty good enough for the street..

The 1360 runs a stock diff with competition pin and NEW planet gears.
If I light the tyres up it goes straight ahead (on a level road).
The gearbox is a Mk2S/Clubby GT, with a 3.647:1 diff.
But in a couple of weeks, the 1412 stroker is going in with a Mk2 S box + 3.44 stock diff. Also with a new pin + gears.

The swiftune diff is a Quaife as well :)

I wouldn't bother for the road unless you had massive power.

I've got one in my conversion and love it.

In my experience you are more likely to torque steer with an LSD than without.

Do you like pissing money against a wall? Buying a LSD for a roadie is doing just that.

I would have to agree. No need for it on the road.

Quaife diffs are not hard on your hands """AT ALL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

,,, in fact you will barely notice it in there--> FACT

they`re great for anything 1275cc or bigger & add grip without any bad side effects

Plate type & pawl type LSD`s (however) "Are" hard on the wheel/arms & you certainly do notice them,,, but the Quaife isn`t anything like those 2 types

If you havn`t ever tried a Quaife then please don`t bother commenting on what they`re like

they`re also pretty-well in there for life,,, they don`t die,,, you won`t need to repair it,,, & once you have one you won`t go back to a std diff

the money is VERY" well spent

get your facts right before you say things that you have no idea about

Nick,,, if you have the spare cash (& they`re pretty dam cheap right now) then don`t hesitate

& to all you good people trying to lend some quality advie to our old mate Nick,,,, just realise that he`1s talking about fitting to a supercharged big bore in his wagon

So,,, to be honest with you...If i were setting up a supercvharged big bore in a stn wagon with more rear end weight than a std sedan,,, I`d much rather have some front tyre grip with a nice soft Quaife than spin up one wheel all the time

Horses for courses people,,, the quaife isn`t a hard core LSD,,, they`re quite soft & forgiving yet give "Quality" traction with "Torque Bias"

Like i said ,,, if you havn`t used one then don`t bother trying to say what they`re like please, cause it`s quite obvious that most of you who have commented allready have absolutely no idea & havn`t ever used one (yet)

Matt, what do you call "pretty damn cheap"..... :?: for a road car.
I'd say a crosspin diff is, (relatively speaking) but a Quaife? :?

Doc,,, the first one i bought (years ago) cost $2500

Now they`re less than half that

so,,, comparitively they`re pretty dam cheap now

also,,, a 4-pin is good,,, but a quaife is """FAR""" better & """WILL""" last ""WAY WAY"" Longer

& when -or if - you ever "feel" one,,, you will then know "Exactly" what i`m on about

have a go at one Doc,,, You don`t have to trust me,,, Just trust yourself after you have felt one

The money (small now in comparison to what they used to cost) is """WELL"""" worth it

& p;lease remeber the fact that Nick is meaning this for a """SUPER-CHARGED""" Big bore

This isin`t for the "average" 998/1098/std-1275 ,,, OK???????????????????????

for a few hundred more than a 4-pin,,, well i know what i`d be buying
