Pop N Wood Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 There is a company in Austrailia that sells an ATB type diff for the R200 for half the price of a quaiffe. Can't remember the name so try a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Amax in AU make an excellent R180 helical LSD, here is a link. http://members.optushome.com.au/amaxeng/five10/diff.htm But as far as I know they don't make a R200, which is not needed anyway unless you have big power or drag race.

260DET Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The answer to that one is quite simple Z240, he needs the volume that the US market can provide to make it worthwhile. Apparently the guts used in the R180 center is sold in the US for Porsches, GT3's I think. He adapted it to use in a R180 for his own race car. I think his price is reasonable all things considered, they are a damm good center. Agree that we in AU do get ripped off eg by importers of cheap Chinese stuff. How does a quantity buy of made in China tachos for $5 each, sold here for $200 each sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z24O Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 ...difference is i bet a chinaman could still buy the tacho in china for $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 That would be good Paul because eventually I'll need a R200 ATB for the project car, ~500 whp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
