Re: Retrofitting a Q2 to an existing Alfa

Sandy Have you had any time to get yours on track yet?

Yup its defintely a world better than the standard open diff!
BTW on track I didn't notice any funny behaviour when unwinding the steering after apex, it seemed to feel natural enough to me.

The Madeno diff (reputed to be a Quaife) in Peter K's car seemed to perform a bit better than the last Quiafe diff I tried in Bmoferrals GTA.
I think that is just down to the stiffer suspension and dampers on Peters car, its very well setup as a fast road car and the car had less roll, good ride quality too!
It certainly didn't spin its inside wheel to the same extent that I experienced with the Quaife before.

My car would be a bit more edgy than Peters, especially with my new very stiff rear ARB, stiffer again springs and dampers plus more lowering - so the torsen diff would have had things a little more in its favour - nonetheless my impressions are that I would prefer the Torsen diff over the quaife - it really did handle my torque quite well

Cheers,
TB

I'm not a doctor - but I really do recommend braking later
