less torque steer with quaife?



It's worth a 100 bucks IMO, but i'm always looking for a sale... :)
 
Mine was working great, untill i decided to try some donuts with my racing studded tires...  my fault really, I heard a boing and could only assume that the circlip inside on the end of the output flange shaft popped off.  My fault because I reused the circlips when i transfered the kit between transmissions...  supposed to replace them...

Cool, sounds like you're having better luck with the 80% kit than some
who have said it has only a minor effect and wears out quickly. I
considered it but shyed away mostly cuz I figured that by not buying it I
could save $100 towards getting a Quaife.
