clivecoupe Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Has anyone got one off the black line helical lsds in there car?! And if so is it any good or do I pay more for a Quaife or more again for a gripper? Mine is only for a fast road car but it needs something to keep the wheel spin under control!

Manta hatch Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I had one fitted to my cavalier with Xe on tb's it was good for donuts and did lock up well when drag starting etc but was not so good for lanes I waited over 12months and manage to find a zf plate diff swapped it over different car to drive altogether with the advantage of diff locking on and off the throttle if u select the right ramp angles makes it a lot easier to throw the car from one bend to the next in other words if I gave it a flick to set up up for the bend with the black line it would only start to slide when applied powe was as the zf would come out straight away and pulled the car back straight nicely under full throttle Get a plate diff I think the grippers are of a similar design to the zf black line did wat it said but if u drive hard u want a plate diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
399 road Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yep. I have Mantas with Quaife ATB ( helical type ) and ZF plate LSDs and plate one is much better. Once it's locked it stays locked until you back off where as the Quaife one keeps changing its mind. Luke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

399 road Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hi. Yes I did but I'm not sure if they meant me or not. I bought quite a bit of stuff off them for my Mantas, Ascona and Escort and they knew where I was from. Not been there for a couple of years now but when I dig my Escort back out I'll be up there again I'm sure. Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Are the Plate type diffs still available? And for general road use as the Blackline that bad? Also links to where to buy would really help me please ( work uses a VPN through Germany, so messes up my google searches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 About £850 i think for the diff, plus you will need bearings and it building. I would expect to spend £1200 to get it all done/built properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Diffs are £832 + VAT at the moment which is 5% off retail. Regards Tim 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
