Megane LSD - Will it fit the 182?

[George k]

This LSD, which is fitted to the latest variation of the Megane, apparently made by GKN. has generated some very good reviews. Assuming that the Megane's diff housing is the same as the normal Megane 225, would it fit a 182?

 

[Ricardinho]

no, straight no

 

[benji&eka]

i gonna be lookiing to get the car that fits around that diff :approve: in a year, it looks bloody impressive.

 

[Rich]

I believe there will be a Quaife one released for the 1*2's soon.

 

[Fred@BTM]

not til next year still rich (they said that 12months ago)

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The sum of £900ish rings a bell for it too which is double dear.

A Quaife diff for the CTR is roughly £500ish

 

[Fred@BTM]

we do a better diff than the Quaife and its cheaper too!

Good for you & Yozza mate

Had many fit it yet Fred?

And have you driven a 182 with it fitted? (Silly question I know) How did it compare to std?

 

[Fred@BTM]

we haven't driven any, but we've supllied 3 to a Spanish Rally team and fitted 1 to a customer supplied gearbox

no complaints LOL

 

[George k]

Fred. Is it a gear or plate type and if so does it rely on pre-load or ramps?

 

[Fred@BTM]

here's some info, its a disc type

fits all JC gearboxes and works with original driveshafts

slip ratio is 45% on acceleration and 15% on deceleration

can be fitted with a different final ratio, but requires a differen seconday shaft

 

[BenR]

your talking to Mr.Gearbox fred..........that just wont do lol.

 

[Fred@BTM]

gearboxes i treat like females, i don't understand either!

 

[BenR]

and you dont screw that many either.

MUAHAHAHAHA

Whats the cost?

What FD ratio's do you have avaliable?

 

[Fred@BTM]

different FD ratios = expensive fella!

Just the F1 R26's

 

[PYE21]

Do you have them made by someone? or are they off the shelve i.e sadev, quaife, x-trac?

 

[Fred@BTM]

off the shelf from a company in europe (general i know, but don't want the competition finding out who )

 

[PYE21]

Under-stanable, i will probably contact you in the new year about this then.

Fred - one of the few people offering a diff for the clio is a small outfit in Germany - you don't need to reveal the name.
