I personally would stay away........ spend the little extra and get a quiafe and change your carrier bearings and check the rest of the box while your at it.

I've been keeping my eye on the OBX diff debarkle for some time now and this is just the tip of the iceberg..... nothing changes. Some people have success... others get bent over hard!
Happy reading!
the biggest issue people have with the obx diffs is the axles sticking. It is very easy to modify the axles so that this isn't an issue. It's been discussed on honda-tech before. Further more, people with quaiffe diffs have complained of the exact same thing occuring, be it in much smaller quantities.Quote:

B series gb's have had decent experiences but D series gb's apparently have had some issues ...maybe have a quick search in http://honda-tech.com/
from what i have read the earlier models had problems with axels getting stuck. but the newer ones seem to be fine
yup , it was when the user wanted to pul the diff bak out for whatever reason , the driveshaft locked into place ( i think due to the circle-clip on the driveshaft spline locking into place?)Quote:

its been rectified. this issue happened a year or 2 back now.
the main thing is, ive never heard of anything blowing one up, or having troubles with it in any other way. They have been used on cars running 140mph traps, so thats good enough in my books.
PS. u might not know, but quaife has had their fair share of problems. i bet alot dont remmeber, but they wernt all perfect, far from it.
oh and Ben, it was a few b-series box's that had the trouble. even at the time of the manufacturing defect (like 2 yrs ago), the strike rate of getting a bad diff was 1 in 3 or so. And it was a simple fix to rectify the problem also.
sweet ill buy one!!!!!
