Quaife ATB Diff....
Snoopy:
I was just talking to a mate of mine last night who works for alfa and we got onto the subject of LSDs. (The alfa 147 Q2 is one of only two cars i have driven with a LSD that i actually liked how it performed the LSD that is)
We got talking about the Q2 automatic torque biasing diff in alfas and the told me it can be bought as an accessory from Alfa parts department as a reto fit to fit to most there models. When i told him how much the quaife was i got the responce HOW MUCH! and he went on to say the alfa ones less than £300! or less than £500 fitted to say i was suprised is an understatment. Come on VW if there only going to be that much fit them as standard!
Hurdy:
I was at the Honda Dealership on Saturday and their Civic Type R championship edition has an ATB LSD fitted to it too. Numbered Plaque, White alloys and a few other bits are also fitted and the cost - £500 more than the stock Type R :surprised:
P!sses me off too that VW couldn't do something like this. :sad:

The Japs understand the market for such versions much better than the Europeans. Just look at all the toys many performance Japanese cars come with straight out of the box.
tony_danza:
Some E-diffs are actually quite crude, for example the one on the 135i simply works by detecting spin and then it applies the brake to the inside wheel.
I guess we'll have to wait and see with the MKVI.
