Thanks. First thing I notice is the smoother acceleration; no heavy acceleration during this break-in period. Freebies came with the package.
I suggest that buyers ask Mr. Harold Lin of HPautowerks.com to include the 2 Free axle stub. Installation wouldn't be possible without them. The old ones will be unusable after disassembly from the differential.

I just found out from Harold of HPautowerks.com that Quiafe diffs (or similar Torsen) do not require break-in since there is no clutch packs inside. He recommends gear oil change after 1,000 miles and every 30,000 miles thereafter.
For current members with Quiafe diffs, what's the difference that makes the upgrade worth doing? I'm still taking it slow
.
"The Quaife's unique design offers maximum traction, improves handling and steering, and puts the power where it is needed most. A definite advantage whether on the track or on the street. The Quaife is extremely strong and durable and since the Quaife is gear operated, it has no plates or clutches that can wear out and need costly replacement."
"The Quaife torque biasing differential enables your car to accelerate quicker and corner faster. How? By getting the power to the ground!"

Sorry Allen. I can maybe drop the differential from the car, but without the proper tools, It'll be hard for me to even attempt this install. This is not a DIY for me
. I'll let you know soon
