Anyone who is thinking of spending money on exhausts cams etc first, just spend the money on a diff and suspension first. It will absolutley transform the car and it will be soo much more fun to drive..




Couldnt agree more now I've got the diff for the ST fitted to mine! The bf still says if you do nothing else fitting the diff will transform the car like nothing else. I love roundabouts now

Yeah I might get Jam-Sport to do it. It's not too much off them + labour...

see when this is done, does anything have to be modified for it to fit, or does the old one come out and new diff go in?

im just wondering whether its something to aim for, as i would fit it myself then if it was just a gearbox out and stripdown.

i wouldnt be paying a fortune for some garage to do it.

i prefer doing everything myself as i then know how its done and am confident in my work, lol.

dont trust garages to be honest!

Yeah some garages I have heard of 'pretend to do work' but don't actually touch much on your car, just grease some things up until it breaks again and then charge you a shed load!

I had all my stuff fitted and the labour was about £500. Speak to Jamsport, I am sure they will sort out a good price.

Its a straight swap nothing has to be altered or modified. I had new bearings put in when mine was done and was £375 cash *nudge nudge*

Guys,

Just a quick update.. My car has had to go back to jamsport to have the gearbox back out..

It has developed a leak, post LSD..

Speaking to Jamie, this can sometimes happen. I will not know what has caused it until the box is out.. But the top suspect is the imput shaft seal.

Just to make people aware, although this should be a straight swap out job, things can and do go wrong.

Cheers,

Rich.

PinkRinse quick question while we've got your attention on this thread please!?
The diff gives you more BHP right? because it pushes the power down to the wheels!? So in conclusion that should improve the BHP and give you a more accurate BHP number at the wheels on a rolling road surely!?
