RSX racing solutions lsd

[Nathan Evans]

Has anyone heard of the company?
RSX racing solutions in Spain. They make a Clio lsd and cw&p.

The diff looks similar to quafie/m factory

 

[scotiamr2t]

Yes I’ve heard of them. There was a lad local to me who bought one an had no issues.

Pretty sure they cost the same as an M factory an similar to quaiffe in price are they not?

 

[bozothenutter]

slightly (ever so slightly) cheaper last time I looked...
I think you had to machine the casing a bit though, though they were going to fix that....

I run one in my car, it’s been spot on... 2 trips to the ring and plenty of road abuse

I've got one, been in the box for about 3 years so can't really comment on what it's like sorry.

Great, did you have to have the box machined to fit?

Why? Do you not drive your car?

Ever so slightly, I just used a air belt sander to take a small bit of rough casting off, literally nothing!

Cheers. I’m going to take the plunge and get one. It was either this or a gripper. But I’ve seen the gripper kill many driveshafts.

Just had a little look at your build thread. I’m going to get their cw&p to make it easier

It’s what ive seen. I know two guys running grippers and they’ve both snapped shafts last year.

Driveshafts or the output shaft on the diff? If it's the output shaft on the diff, they do one made out of f1 spec material. It's designed to have a certain amount of twist to solve the snapping issue.

Hi mate, you may need to source a 172 n/s driveshaft too, my standard 182 one was too long causing a rumble/knock on right handers... northloop helped me out with that info. You probably have seen that on my build thread

I’ve seen both, along with snapped cv’s too.

@Nathan Evans if you don’t mind me asking how much did you get the diff for?

The diff is €845 but I’m still negotiating a final price as I’m buying their final drive and lightened flywheel

And is that being used for rallying?

 

[incy-spider]

sorry, cardboard box!!

Is that one of the early ones that needed to be recalled?

Only if you get the cardboard wet :tongueclosed:

Jokes aside, RSX did have a problem with the older LSD before a certain date, I expect you know though. Luckily mine was a later one so didn’t have to change the cup

Rings a bell.

 

[Pauleds]

I've snapped 1 shaft but my own fault. Slid off the stage into the grass and was flooring it as it came back onto the tarmac so snapped the drivers shaft.
Other retirement was due to snapping the output shaft on diff which is being replaced for the new better material version.
Other than that the gripper and lower cwp has been great.

How much did it in total?

I paid £1300 delivered for the lsd, 5.25 cw&p and lightened flywheel.

@Nathan Evans thats cheap.

Could they not have fitted the crownwheel for you? Assume it fits as per the quaiffe (interference fit and 2 ball bearings)

This is where the problems come in. The picture they sold me as the crown wheel would have the slots for the ball bearing. But it hasn’t got them. It just gets pressed on. I could of got the slots machined but I’m going to get it welded on.

 

[scotiamr2t]

@Nathan Evans personally i would be back in touch with them to complain and negotiate a discount (to cover the additional costs) or replacement CW&P with the proper slots as it should have.
