*Needed* 20 to Pre-order Wavetrac LSD for SLK32/SRT-6
Nice Mike... I'm hoping for 11.99 
Of course I have to: 1) find a drag strip, 2) finish reading the German rulebook and 3) convert numbers at the track to mph/miles...
Oh yeah, I guess #1 should be get my diff... Lol

Hi Jim,
housings are complete.
gearing is at heat treat (last step) so will
have parts late next week to do first builds.
You can post the pic if you wish!
Thanks

I'm curious, and I'm sure there are many here who can answer my question,
(just in case there is ever another "group buy" like this again).
Would it be a prudent option for "ANY" 6 spd. NA owner (who likes to drive in a more spirited manner than average) to consider this purchase?
I mean, I can only remember one person blowing their cars differential by dumping their clutch at too high of an RPM once too often.
Sure we only have 215 H.P. from the factory, but with the mods currently available, the 3.2 can generate over 260+.
Inquisitive minds would like to know?

I'm wondering how soon their shop can turn around on a diff install...? Will I have the diff back in time for Carlisle?

Sweet! I'm glad my new rear is sitting in his shop awaiting it's new guts!

My question, is there anybody here who knows how strong (or how weak) the NA's rear end actually is, and is it likely to suffer similar destruction as the SRT's do from abuse?
Or is it beefy enough to withstand most of the punishment it's likely to ever receive from our 3.2's "Passive Aggressive" engine? So there really is no need for the Wavetrac LSD modification.

Its a weak link on the Crossfire, Just depends on the amount of abuse. This mod it still cheaper than a new Diff. .... unless a used on is found.

Another question I have is; What is the next weak link after this install? Didn't Rudy C. twist a driveshaft with big power?
i dont see any reason for anyone to be upset if they continue to build the lsd for everyone who wants it. not to many nanybooboos on here! there are more than a few pioneers who built things that others wanted after it was all done. ie: theres a fantastic c/f hood that built for 1 and a bunch got great hoods out of it. woody with all his mods built out of his own pocket. you get the idea.
no science for this but im guessing the carrier bearing or flex plates would be next on the weak link list. possibly those skinny little axles
