You probably don't want to spend the extra money and a CIG locker will do what you want but Quaife make a torsen type R230 center. Love my torsen, grips around corners yet does even twin spinners on demand.
Lol, I don't think cracka can spell budget.
Also we've had the torsen discussion and he's a pretty stout clutch pack fan.
I wonder if he still has plans of this thing being a weekend type car instead of just a skid pig...

Been doing a bit on this when I can. Finished mounting and welding the rear subframe to house the R230 diff.
The crossmember has to come down about 20mm so the diff can clear the fuel tank, I am using Outback spacers for that.
Also decapped one of the injectors and had it flow tested next to a std injector. Stock injector flowed about 280cc, decap flowed 560, both with excellent patterns. Cracka will be able to run E85 if he wants with the decaps.
When do you weld the leaf spring mounts on?
Bigger tyres to skid with the subframe coming down. Love it.
Because the subframe is part of the car derrr.
lol
solid diff mount - niiiice.

"The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."
subframe =! multi link and hubs.

Ok. let me lay it out.
Less CV angle, the diff is sitting maybe an inch lower than standard and the hubs are not moving from stock location.
I'll repeat for the engineer - rear hubs are not moving from stock location therefore wheels remain in exactly the same location relative to the body as stock.
Sorry, no 31" mudders. Maybe some 235/40 17 RSRs
Have done some work on this.
Pulled the lower manifold to remove a no longer required heater pipe and sort out the knock sensor wiring(only using the inner two of the four).
Turned down the snout of the davies craig EWP to allow it to fit between bottom radiator tank and bits of engine and turbo.
Started the wiring yesterday, half of one of two looms wired. Need to consult Vipec tech to figure how to wire the injector pairs. Have figured out which Crank sensor to use with the help of Dale. Using the LH sensor which puts the two missing teeth at 180 BTDC instead of 0BTDC for the RH sensor.

Where does the front six spark plugs connect? Does it come directly out the bottom of the coil?
