Quaifes 2006 Catalogue. It lists it as £POA, but the sprite is £475 and I'm sure I've seen the mini one listed as ~£450 somewhere.

But anyway, we're kind of getting off the point. Miglias have super wide and super grippy tyres to get them round corners. So they don't really need an LSD to help them (although I presume the reason they don't use one is because of regulations trying to keep costs of racing down).

The Quaife LSD is expensive, but for a road car it gets your going round the corner, not sliding off into whatever is at the side of the track/road. Yes, a competition diff pin is a good start, but get much over 90-100 lblft of torque going through it and it won't last too long! The cross pin diff is the next best upgrade, but again this doesn't really help traction. It won't stop a wheel spining up, its just a harder component to wear down!
