This list on evom no longer means anything (see Mike W's post above). The list that counts now is the RoadRace one found at the link below where you can place your $450 deposit.

For people who haven't been following this thread for the past 9 months, this custom front Quaife LSD is discounted $100 before 10/22 to a price of $1245. If you race your 2003/2004 (non-RS) Evo and want to win, you need this diff. Anyone can pay their deposit now and have a good shot at getting in on this first build of 40 units. Plenty of deposits are in to make this build happen, but it appears that quite a few people in the top 30 list are not going to make their deposits.

I don't work for RoadRace, but my observation is that anyone interested in a front Quaife LSD, should take what may be this only opportunity to get one. With all 2005+ Evos having front LSDs, I would be skeptical if there will be another custom build of 30 units minimum. I'm treating this as, what is realistically, the only opportunity to get a lifetime warranty Quaife front LSD for my car. Now's your chance guys. Just wanted things to be clear for folks who are still signing up on here.

I don't follow your line of thinking... Quaife has built "replacement" LSDs forever and a day.

 

His line of thinking is this-

There are around 10,000 evos out there that can utilize this upgrade, since the diff is custom to the 2003-2004 USDM evo transfer case. He's saying that if we don't jump on this, the demand in the future may not be high enough for quaife to bother with another batch. He wasn't saying that Quaife was going to go away tomorrow.

 

I am thinking it will be a limited item, regardless. I am sure Quaife will make replacements for these in the event someone has a problem or needs to replace it.

 

I see what's being said...

 

I'm out on this. I was expecting it to be around $1000 or even a few bucks less. I don't want to pay more at this point.

 

They usually run in the $1200-1300 range from Quaife for most vehicles. The least expensive I ever saw was the Integra diff back in my Type R days. You could get those for upwards of $750... but geese, think about it, how many Integras were/are running around.

 

Im still in. I will get the money to you before the 22nd cuttoff date. Most likely the 20th. Thanks for all the research guys cant wait to get one!!

How would this LSD affect winter driving in snow?

Thanks,

jcnel.

 

If anything, tt should help give you more traction in the snow. With an open diff, the wheel that breaks traction will spin while your other wheel doesn't move. With the LSD, power will be sent to both wheels in all situations.

 

A week into this I have 22 deposits in. There are 21 people on the sign up list that have not sent in their info yet. Unless a whole bunch of people send in their info by the end of the week I will just make the order for 30 diffs.
