Flol! Have a read through this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/oil-for-gripper-diff-gearbox.752285/

There's no oil in existence that will be suitable for a fwd plate diffed gearbox unfortunately. It's also worth remembering that any gearbox with plate diffs fitted will need to be drained substantially more often than one with an open diff as the plate diffs are continually contaminating the...

Here you go mate http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1019-red-line-synthetic-manual-transmission-lubricant-mtl-75w-80-gl4.aspx

Opie oils do the redline, not sure on the millers though. The redline is about £60 for enough to fill the box! Not cheap, but very very good.

That's what I've done for the past 2 weeks mate, just ignored it. I'll let you know for oulton mate. The lines are simple anyway. I didn't find it difficult to pick up at all. We shall see mate.

Don't you start as well!

It's the cheaper option of the 2 mate, so it's gotta be worth a try first.

That'll have the older style plates in then still mate, so the noise is part and parcel of a gripper I'm afraid. The newer plates have oil grooves in them to allow a small amount of lubrication to stop the creaking/clunking at slow speeds. The settings will be causing some of the aggression as...

My hearts just not in it atm mate and oulton is a definite no I'm afraid. I've also been to look at a few bikes this weekend just gone.

Redline MTL is what I've run in a Quaife diffed/Quaife straight cut gearbox before and it worked extremely well. Yeah, quaifes ain't a plate diff, but it showed no signs of wear in the box after a full season of 400+bhp/lbft abuse and I used to knock the s**t out of it too.

Double post. Sorry!

Don't put it in the box is my advice. It'll f**k the synchros or gear dog teeth, if not both mate. The castrol B373 is too slippery for them from what I've seen of the jc5's that have run on it.

You'd have to be brave and deal with Curtis direct at Ast mate

Coilspring in Sheffield will make them for you.

Plenty good enough mate. More than up to the job

You'll get track spec Ast sportline 1's for just under a grand.

Flol! That's f**king brilliant!

Yeah no worries mate. You know where I am. But I do it so well dan. Lol

Cheers. Who you calling a tart! Lol! Should be collecting your rad on Friday btw. It's been done since the weekend, but currently don't know whether to s**t or go blind with being so busy. Well now I know what you look like I'll be able to keep an eye out for you too! Friends on bookface too...

Never rains....

Surely we must be due an update on this thread? :up:

No mate Nurburgring for me.

With the 1000's I've ridden you need to be climbing all over the tank to keep the front wheel down if your giving it anything over a qtr of a turn of throttle. Lol! The S1000's are quite user friendly though from what I'm seeing. Different modes for power delivery etc.

No mate not booked in to do the Rs day again this year. I might be coming up for the social side of things though.

Flol!!

Lol you'll have to send the mob to the doors of all the people that are expressing an interest in the car and engine!

Yeah sp1's and 2's are good bikes.

Ah right. Tbf, most modern sports bikes are borderline on unuseable on the road due to the way they make 'progress'. Nah I wouldn't get the same thrill from a 600 mate. You need to absolutely scream them to make them shift!

Lol ok mate no worries. I'll await your feedback.

Yeah it would be a shame I agree. It's something that I need to think through thoroughly. Difficult to say which i'd get the most use out of tbh mate. Both the car and the bike are a very focussed bit of machinery. In a perfect world I'd have both. Lol! I last rode a bike on the road around 3-4...
