Anyone with 162608 posts has got to have God's attention in some way... or have a lot of time on their hands, lol. Seriously, I don't have enough track experience to know the difference, only that there's agreement that some sort of clutch-type diff is fastest on-track.

Torsens, not so much. If you're not applying torque with the motor, it's mostly open. I think they're generally 1-way diff's. 2-way diffs are equal under accel/decel and probably not appropriate for FWD.

Kaaz (and other 1.5-way diffs) "Generally ... creates a stronger lock under acceleration than deceleration."

The 1.5-way helps under braking for the non-ABS cars too.

Re: Quaife LSD

CLutch type is better for track. Even with one wheel completely off the ground (going over the apron for example) the other wheel will be pulling.

Re: Quaife LSD availability, and alternatives (kb58)

Anyone tried contacting Taylor race engineering in the States? Any luck at all? I emailed Quaife UK and no reply YET.

Re: Quaife LSD availability (98SpecR)

The domestic replacement for the Quaife, the Wavetrac, is out. What's irritating is that the sellers say "everyone says it's great", yet I haven't seen a single track report one way or the other. Just let the users speak for themselves - I hate Marketing BS

Re: Quaife LSD availability (doug@taylor-race)

I tried to email you guys about getting a Quaife ATB LSD for my Honda Fit awhile ago but never get any reply back.

I think I'm gonna order it from CPL racing in UK.

Re: (doug@taylor-race)

I'm looking for a ATB LSD for a Honda Fit sport 5MT. I emailed tons of places include King motorsports when they had the Quaife LSD "in stock" link on their site. Which they didn't really reply when I tried to get an update from them.

Anyway I emailed scotty@taylor race i think? But don't think I got any reply back. Got kinda frustrated on this........
