It's from the States, but we shouldn't hold that against it.

I just called and asked about it... $4995, set up for the Hayabusa, brake disks shown in the picture are not included. It does have a Quaife LSD.

Sad it's so expensive...

I live close to them. I have dropped them an email to request more info and I'll get back to you. Maybe I can find the time to drop by their place and take a look at the hardware.

OK, I just read KB's edit and saw the price. If anyone wants me to still have a look I will. But at that price it better be titanium!

Yep, and sadly all it is, is just a diff really...
May or may not be great value.....but I prefer a LOT more stuff for 5k......like everything for the car AND change...

But, of course, I'm poor/mean....

And that's not the end of it. The differential output flanges are for the (apparently) common Porsche 930 CV pattern. So add on to that price all the axle parts. A shame.

I'm obviously missing something, but what is the advantage of that over just buying the Quaife unit when the latter forms the internals anyhow. The Quaife unit itself is a fair old chunk of change too.

I subscribe to Sandsports magazine...mainly for research and inspiration. This kind of stuff is very typical....nice but very pricey for what is, let's face it, just a toy.....

Interesting but definitely NOT locost....
