Quaife ATB. It grips surprisingly well, guess it's cos there is no weight holding it back.

mine used to still spin up, but grip in 1st if you booted it 2,000rpm
love the diff 
how much power you got now, was that misfire causing the lower power/torque before?

i found it the wet, if you start understeering, accelerate lightly and the diff gives you grip

Who needs a rev counter when you've got a limiter?

It was the coil pack. Budget £22 aftermarket coilpack fitted and it feels stronger than ever Ghetto.
It's a C16XE (16v) with around 193bhp.
I reckon blue neons would be ace
