I'm starting to think that I'm extremely lucky, that my diff might have innards that are far stronger than standard, or that people just don't know how to launch. I've now been driving my car with the original diff(if it had the original when I got it) and it's not even whining or making funny noises yet. I left it in, because I wanted to see how long it lasts before it strips, breaks or the side shafts lets go. It just doesn't break, even with the 195hp on the wheels as per my dyno sheet, can anyone explain this to me?

But let me not tempt fate...

hey wat would be the down side to haveing the wheels sticking out ? like would handleling be afected?
as i was thinking about puttin a falcoon diff in and lettin it hang out

the laws over here wouldn't allow it mate, as it is increasing the track of the vehicle too far. it's all in the NCOP pages from the national vehicle gov department.

Are you serious? Still the h145? I thought you changed to a h165 that the bakkies have. Damn, then I am surprised it still holds.According to everyone here it is a $hit diff that can't handle power very good.

If you actually take the time to read the guidelines clearly. You can infact legally do many things that internet forums often state you can not legally do.

Example Page 38 " Track"
If you fit another assembly, the track width will now go off the particular assembly and its original manufacture specified track.
However if you simply fit a wider diff like above it will still be illegal unless the tyres tread is covered.

Every modification that you do to a vehicle, will also lead to numerous other design rules being required to be implimented.

Wheel Track design rules are there to simply prevent stupid modifications like, wide wheels and silly offsets being fitted to hubs and bearings that will eventually fail as a result of various loads on an undersized component.

The same rule basically applies here, your wheels are not to protrude further beyond the body panels than I think it was 20mm or a percentage of the tyre width. You have to put on flares if you wanted to do that.

However since our authorities are absolutely only interested in prosecuting people for speeding, I've seen people do illegal, stupid and weird things to their cars, and get away with it. I have this theory that you could basically do anything you want, disobey every rule of the road, and generally go crazy, as long as you're not speeding while you're doing it you'll be alright...

Get the diff shortened again to the same length as the standard diff.(He could have actually kept the original diff in.They are strong buggers) and SLAM it to the ground with a dropped suspention.

yeh saw those after is it legal to have them hangin out like that in SA we would be shost down like a mickey bird on a post if we tried runnin our utes around like that!

Needs some big fat flares on the back. the type with the visable rivet holes and ####. That would be mad

im with beattie on that one
