Subject: Advice needed - what diff for my
1600??
Hey List,
Ok I finally have some money
together to get a new diff for my 1600, but I need some advice as to which
type to get. I really don't want a locker because although I like the traction
they provide I like to be able to park in tight spaces etc, and an open diff
is out of the question too.
I was going to see if I could
find a Subaru R160 LSD but I have heard they are only viscous-centre and break
open when any sort of decent power is applied. The car's putting out about 210
rwhp so it needs to be able to handle that.
Is it possible to get clutch-type
R160's? Would they be able to hold power ok?
How much would be the maximum to
pay for one of these and what would be the best place to look for
one (viscous and/or clutch type)?
The other option is a R180 LSD
but they are hard to find (unless someone out there has one they want to
get rid of?!) and pretty expensive ... which leaves an R200 LSD. I am
aware that you need a custom moustache bar and custom half shafts to fit
these, so could anyone give me an idea of how much you could expect to pay all
up for one of these (decent ratio, 3.7:1 to 4.11:1) + parts to fit in the
car?
Finally are there any other
options or types of diffs that fit or could be made to fit in a 1600 for $1000
or under?
Hopefully someone can set me on
the right track with this!
Thanks heaps,
Charlotte.
