Hey All.

Just trying to order a diff, and the company sent back a set of drawings, and i was hoping someone that someone could conferm that this diff would function correctly in my 2002 VR-X...If your interested in looking at the drawings, please e-mail me on alex.king@downerengineering.com.au

Also, our cars are using 27 spline axles arnt they?

Thanks All.

Don't know what diff your after but the LSD from the Ralliart magna will bolt straight in to the manual VRX box and likely you'll never break it.Its also well priced.

You are right about the price.$1948 GST inclusive.Add labour for fitting and easily you could top $2500.Its a good diff though.They ran these diffs in the Magna production race cars and they never broke one.

If you've been quoted $500 to remove and refit the box,you've been had.Takes an hour to hour and half to get it out and the same to get it back in.The diff itself only takes an hour to change.

4 hours minumum from your timings... then you gota allow for problems.. id charge $500 aswell... i think $500 is fair

Saw your car out last night, assume you have a diff now or a temporary box?

Hour to pull out.. Man can you come do mine.. i half a small idea.. ive put 5 boxes in my car now.. with all the right tools and in a workshop it takes 2 hours to remove.. Can go back in in 2-3 hours.. then you have got oils and so on.. $500 might be a bit steep but with the change buy a cartoon of beer..:)

ive done it in my driveway once with a carton of beer and a mate on a sunday and it took 6 hours on jack stands..:)
