Turn your one-wheel drive smoke machine into an uber drift-champion with an LSD from either Quaiffe or Wavetrac.
We are bringing some in for our customers and we have a few options available. Please bear in mind that a diff is rather heavy and a major component of the cost of bringing these units into the country is shipping. It accounts for a much larger percentage of the cost than duties, VAT, etc.
1st option is to buy just the limited slip, and have a professional installer install it into your existing diff. You will need someone that knows how to strip the diff, uninstall the existing open diff (might be bolted or welded), and then install the new LSD, set up the clutch packs, shim, oil, etc.
The choices are Wavetrac or Quaiffe for the LSD. This is the Wavetrac:
And here is the copy-paste product info:
Product Description:
The new Wavetrac® is a helical-gear limited-slip differential, but unlike other gear differentials, the Wavetrac® was designed from a clean sheet using state-of-the-art knowledge and engineering to be a better differential than any other.
Wavetrac gives you quicker acceleration and faster cornering by driving both drive wheels instead of just one. And, it offers improved no-load performance when compared to other helical gear differentials on the market.
Differential Features
• Enhanced No-Load Bias Ratio via Special Wave Mechanism
• Interchangeable Friction/Bias Plates
• Designed & Manufactured in the USA
• Case-Hardened Billet Steel Housings and High Quality 9310 Steel Gears
• Assembled Exclusively using ARP® High Strength Fasteners
• Limited LIFETIME Warranty
Price: R 15 895
Next up is the Quaife ATB Helical LSD Differential:
And yes, the obligatory product info stolen off the net:
• The Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing Helical LSD Differential enables your car to accelerate quicker and corner faster. How? Simply by getting the power to the ground!
• The Quaife differential powers both drive wheels under nearly all conditions, instead of just one.
• With an normal open differential, fitted as standard on most cars, much precious power is wasted through wheel spin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip - along the path of least resistance.
• The Quaife differential, however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has the better grip, and automatically biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel.
• In cornering, while accelerating out of a turn, the QUAIFE biases greater power to the outside wheel, reducing inside-wheel spin. This allows the driver to begin accelerating earlier, exiting the corner at a higher speed.
• The Quaife differential also controls loss of traction when the drive wheels are on slippery surfaces such as ice and snow or mud, providing the appropriate biased traction needed to overcome these adverse conditions. The Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential provides constant and infinitely variable drive. Power is transferred automatically without the use of normal friction pads or plates seen in other limited-slip designs.
• The Quaife ATB Hleical LSD differential's unique design offers maximum traction, improves handling and steering, and puts the power where it is needed most. A definite advantage, whether you are on the track or on the street.
• The Quaife differential is extremely strong and durable, and since it is gear-operated, it has no plates or clutches that can wear out and need costly and regular replacement. There is no maintenance required to the unit, so once installed the unit can be forgotton, apart from the better road responses.
• The Quaife differential is great for street driving or racing. Racers don't have to put up with locking mechanisms or spools that tear the steering wheel out of their hands when cornering. Because it behaves like an open differential during ordinary driving, street drivers will have trouble telling it's there until pushing the cars towards its limits.
• The Quaife differential is proven in everything from SCCA Rallying to drag racing and Formula 1. It provides autocrossers with such an advantage, it has become "required" equipment for a winning effort.
