I am testing the new Wavetrac front diff.
Looks like this:

I had one of the first quaife's in the country and it really made a difference on the track so I was really excited when Road Race Engineering offered me a chance to test one of these new diffs. My Quaife made a huge difference on the track, allowing me to rotate the car and maintain speed in the corners. My main complaint is that if you put a wheel off trying to gain a line or kick a rock into the car behind you, the dif could act like an open diff when it had no load or torque conditions.
The main advantage of the new diff is the ability to distribute power properly in no or low traction conditions ie: wet or dirt. I have really noticed the difference on a canyon run up angeles crest where there was water on half the road on a fast turn. The car just clawed it's way around the turn in a way I have never seen before. This was on shaved nto1's with no real grooves at a good clip.
I am really looking forward to testing this at the track. Will post observations soon.
