Gotta love the exchange rate at the moment. Seagull I'm interested in how well it performs as I've read a lot of mixed reports on various forums (including subie and honda) that the quality is not the greatest. I also read that if you replace some of the bolts in them to decent non-chinese ones then the product lasts quite ok.

Meh who knows...it's only forum talk.

I scoured rexnet for a year to get 2 secondhand genuine subie lsd's for around that price. Going to test them both out, one is a torsen and one is a clutch type.

If these obx ones are ok for $400 i'll fit em as standard equipment.

no dramas, it either works or doesn't. No difference if it goes in a subie or vw. hmmm pcd out by 0.5mm....not nice.
I think they key to most of the China stuff is AUS quality control before it goes out the door.

OK one of my customers waned this affordable obx lsd in his race car. He got it $450 delivered to his door in North QLD and sent it down to be fitted to is '99 reversed subie box with 3.9 ratio.

We are putting the box together this week so will soon know how it goes once the car is finished.

For the interests of aussieveedubbers out there I thought I would post up some pix of what the thing looks like inside.

Its basically a Chinese copy of a quaife (and I would have thought not a problem to make some to suit vw boxes either).

Anyway, all looked good inside, there was no big bits of dirt or metal filings in there and most of the edges were nicely finished. Overall I would say looks good for the money.
