It's a=20 question of economics
and practicalities.
I'll=20 explain what I mean
- if money is no object then there is a LSD = solution=20 for a 1600,
get an open R180 with the ratio you want and take it to your = local=20
go fast driveline place and order a Quaife centre
http://www.vw6speed.com/parts.=
htm and=20 part with mega $$$$, I forget what these are worth but as
the $AU is = crap=20 against the greenback they aint cheap. Or if you've
got $1200 - ~$1800 = to spend=20 you can get a second hand (whatever out
of) R180LS and it seems like = there are=20 still plenty of these about
or if you're looking for a $400 - $600 R180 = or R200=20 LSD solution then
at that price the bolt straight in variety=20 are usually "pretty
hard to find" like even I'd say they're = rare or=20 you have to gas
axe the rear end or wheel well out of your 1600 to fit = it as in=20 the
case with most R200LS diffs.
The US=20 guys just fit
Soobie R160LS diffs behind engines like VG30's etc and = they don't=20 seem
to have a problem with them (so they tell us anyway) but in Aus we = don't=20
even have a good supply of these and also we Aussies have a problem = (usually=20
from many bad experiences) with R160 diffs even behind a stock L18. I =
used a=20 R160LS out of a Soobie Brumby (cost a bomb too in '80) on
a dirt = 1600 with=20 a L engine that put out 170hp on a good day and
it destroyed itself = for the=20 first time on the 3rd or so time out and
after I got it rebuilt with = good exy=20 bits it actually did last a while. As
I see it the Soobie R160LS = isn't=20 going to do the business behind a
300hp FJ for very long at all, what is = hard to=20 break though is a properly
CIG welded R160 or R180 but these are not = everyone's=20 idea of practical
on a daily driver.
Terry=20 (tough one this,
easier to fit good brakes)
I Don't know the answer to the question, but are the LSD Diffs = really hard=20
to find, I have never asked or=20
bothered about it, but i would like one for the new 1600. If they = are hard=20
to get how much do they cost?=20
