The Diff is a Ford 9" and we put a Torque sensoring centre in it from DPI in the US. Its the same as what we use in the race car. Alot better than a spool or Detroit Locker that locks the wheels!

I haven't had the van down the strip yet, its about the only thing I haven't done with it yet!!

I must admit we've had some fun with it! We were coming back from a place in NZ called Palmeston North where we had been to a swap meet with parts, to where we live in Tauranga 3.5hrs away. The van was loaded with parts, a empty trailer and three of us in the front. We thought we'll see if we can get all the way home with out anything passing us!! We were crusing along at about 140kph where there was double lanes & could see a motorbike slowly come up! he got up beside us and we looked at each other & smiled, I put my thumb up to him(as to say cool cruzing bike mate!) and booted it! he looked over! there was 1 or 2 seconds before we got to his speed & he droped his body down over his tank & was taped out, we just pulled away. Just as well it wasn't a big jap bike! it was a Harley Davidson!
Same thing happened to some young guys in a Honda Integra, it must of had a 180k speed limiter on it! (some of ours do) because we were side by side at 180ks & it then just fell behind! we kept going to about 210ks which is about max for the gearing!!
The only thing we had to stop for petrol, the Honda & the Harley went past when we were filling up, we got back on the raod & got the Harley but didn't see the Honda again!
