Hi Guys

Stupid Honda won't help me out on this one :(

I'm looking at buying a OBX Helical LSD at some point but don't want to buy the wrong model..

Thanks Guys

With OBX, you literally get what you pay for. Get a Quaife if you can spare the money.

dare i say it, the OBX are reverse engineered from Quaiffe.

Its the same thing, just get the OBX at a fraction of the price.

theres a lot more to reverse engineering than just copying a design,consider selection & fabrication of materials for one.

its your cash luke,plus the time to install it,but if the Dseries boys are getting reliable results now then u could be right,just remember helicals are metal on metal abuse,so lets hope OBX's research has come up to speed,they shouldve done enough testing by now,it would certainly be good news for all our wallets.

...which brings us to the original topic....

Can you find the round casting stamp, about 10mm dia, near (10cm) the oil filler hole? prob need a torch and crawl around under the car.

Let me know and I'll take a picture of one to help people find it

A000 is 36mm
B000 is 40mm

no other way to identify gearbox casing as far as I know.

This information is purely from Inet research and not from practical experience, so you get what you pay for.

Also, I think at one point I found a UK supplier of bearings which had the ID of the 40mm bearing but fit into the 36mm bearing. Perfect for all the 36mm gearbox people wnating to squeeze in an OBX.

I just have to sieve through a lot of email to find the contact details, feel free to prompt me to remind me.
