HI Guys couple of things firstly I have had a quaiffe in my Streetracer Celica for Years (ATB) which is different as other have said from a regular LSD. It is without doubt the best modification I ever made to a car and although the characteristics are different from a RWD motor the benefits are huge in terms of drivability. It does make the car edgier in certain circumstances (if you abuse it and dont change your driving style) nothing that a capable driver and a couple of weeks adjusting your sttle won't accomodate. It WILL increase your average roadspeeds on A roads SIGNIFICANTLY I almost never use the brakes now and most curves and bends simply do not exist for me :) Under the same driving conditions with no traffic on one run I timed our wrx STI against the quaiffe enabled Celica the same run took 1 hour seven minutes in the Scooby and 57 Minutes in the Celica both cars at the stops. AWESOME Kit Secondly although resolved I just want to support Thorney generally in the point he makes about the not running the site as a commercial operation, as I have been asking him for an Invoice for four months to sponsor him and still cannot cut him a cheque :o :lol: If he was running it as a commercial operation it would have been on my desk before the phone went down :lol: Great Job on the site Thorney now come on give me an Invoice and I can give you some DOSH you must need, it these sites aint free to run. Best Wishes :D Tom

FWD = nasty things that try to use the front wheels for stopping steering and transmitting power to the road. RWD = much nicer things that leave the application of power to the rears, something they do quite well without any help thumbsup

Hahah I was wondering when this old chestnut would come up :) FWD + Quaiffe great for staying with anything around 90 degree bends RWD sans LSD great for running into hedgerows on 90 deg bends LOL Cheers Tom

F*ck me. Only days after Scottie is laid to rest, he is proved wrong You CAN change the laws of physics (providing you have an LSD)

NoT biting and it is NOT an LSD, works on a completely different principle LOL
