Gro has a gear driven diff. Same basic product as a quaife, but Quaife is a manufacturer of gear driven diffs, Gro has a different brand.

gro has some sangyo or something like that...
He's posted plenty about it & I've found them !!!

Can get the quaife through a guy in new zealand ( thanks tatsu ! )
but want to know how hard it is to install as to make sure there are no nasty surprises for install.

Nobody over here knows a thing about them and I HAVE searched !!!

Does anyone know somebody who installed it on there car ?
probe, mx6, mx3 etc etc...

Somebody has surely !! Now where are you ?!?!

Hi
We have just bought 2 Quaife LSD from UK, we will complete installation within the next weeks, currently we have taken 1 gearbox apart, but we are missing an installation kit with bolts from Quaife to complete installation, this is an task that is for experienced Mazda mechanics, I don't say you can't do it, I just tell it is NOT easy.

the quaife guy in New Zealand, the quaife manufacturer in England are telling me it is a direct diff swap and U use your old bolts....

There isen't any, it is samplet with - don't know if it is the right word - fastners, do you know what I mean, you drill them out and then you bolt the Quaife on with 11,25-11,3mm bolt's and nuts from ARP.
Ford & Mazda hasen't anything in EU for this and Mazda Europe won't talk with MazdaSpeed Or MazdaMotor as their products is not approved anywhere in the EU.
(%(%(=%¤#$$€][]\ - DAMN !!
We have two options - one is to buy from an ARP or Quaife dealer or make the Bolts & Nuts Locally, think it will be the last thing..

Got one. Definetly worth every penny for track and SoloII racing + unlimited lifetime garantee. Need to drill out the rivets holding the ring gear to the OEM open diff, transfer the ring gear and speedo gears to the Quaife + new set of bearings. Bolts/Studs kit is required to attach the ring gear to the LSD. Shift selector bracket in the transmission needs to be grinded to clear the heads of the bolts/studs (heads of the original rivets were thinner).

Luke has EVERYTHING bad-a-- for the MX-3. I am sorry Luke, but one day I'm going to have to steal your car.

BTW, could you turbo it for me first???

PATDIESEL: Make sure you have appointments scheduled with your dentist and chiropractor on your way back. Teeth fillings and lower back will need some work. Also do not foget ear plugs, your brain would buzz for a month without them.

Did you need to so anything with your axles?

Posted: **September 9th, 2005, 12:06 pm**

Luke, I'm sure it will be more than worth the pain and effort of listening to your super bad-a-- car rattle, clunk and exhaust blare down the road...
