I just popped a 9 inch in it and it never gave a drama after that. Good choice of ratios too. Wish it was that simple for a sedan too! Good luck with it.

accelrate Donating Members 47 Member For: 16y 9m 25d Posted 16/10/08 02:55 AM Share Posted 16/10/08 02:55 AM LOL. I'm on my third diff, first one was changed because apparently the bearings were whining too much. I don't know it still drove alright. About 2000k's after that it was changed again, it all went bang. LOL. And here's the kicker. LOL. I have a BF NA XR6 E-Gas. LOL, no mods. Nothing. 86k and counting. We'll see if this one lasts Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37901-smashed-diff-centre/page/2/#findComment-750450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
