Been told about keeping it easy when wet or u might end up on the other side of on coming traffic..having second thoughts about this mod know.. :confused:


Blimey. Who's trying to scare you  :signLOL:

You'd be use to it in no time and wonder why you didn't fit one sooner.


.... x 2 

It's a great mod if you enjoy spirited driving when circumstances safely allow.

When it's wet you need to take it easier anyway, regardless of having a diff or not  :stupid:

Using a diff well in the wet or dry requires good throttle control.  I've had slippy diffs in my cars for the last 8 years or so.   One of the best mods that can be done and equal imo to a remap.

The wavetrac works differently to the quaiffe as it transfers the power in a different way. It is a much superior product to a quaiffe.

This is copied from elsewhere but it explains it without me having to use my brain.

The wavetrac diffs have an entirely different operation to any other, and unlike other diffs they allow transfer of power even if the axle is not loaded... so if you lift a wheel in a corner, you still get power transfer to the wheel on the ground. This does not happen with other diffs. Explaining how they work is another post entirely, but you can read up on them here - http://www.wavetrac.net/

But then how often do you lift a wheel when driving on the road?
