1st Gen Diffs: How robust?

[Brett]

Anyone had any experience of dragging with a S2 or S3 diff?  How much abuse can they take?  Are they made of chocolate like the 2nd gen EGi diff, or a bit tougher?

Also, if anyone has an FB LSD going begging...? :Thumbsup!

Give pip a ring. He has a brand new 1st gen LSD diff. Although it may be out of you price range :Giggle

I have a S3 diff in the garage that needs a good flush out with oil (got alloy shavings in it while working on something else on the bench !). All yours if your passing !

I had a series 3 diff in the race car. Strong as an ox. I gave it brutal launches and a massive power slide into a kerb and part from the bent flange on the end of the shafts it was still good. The diff is still in use today. I had a LSD from pip first such was then changed to the KIA sportage unit with a 4.7ish ratio

Mines had 305hp through it and the engine let go before the diff did

Thanks guys thats quite encouraging... just signed up to the fb forum as theres an epic thread with your contributions on there

Do we think it\'ll poke up with north of 600 for long...?

Is the sportage diff lsd?
