G80 locker mod. How does it work ?
Hi all.
Iv just got a g80 diff and been doing some research and people seem to to a mod. This mod requires cutting the weight off to stop the diff unlock g after 25mph. Is this what everyone is doing before I commit to cutting it off. Thanks Dean |

Are you using the car for drifting? If not then don't bother doing it.

Don't modify it.
You won't like it The G80 is not a limited slip differential. Did you ever drove a welded differential on the road? Stupid, especially on wet conditions. The G80 is a compromise, will work well in standard configuration. The kind of modification you will find in Internet isn't a uprate. M2C Good luck, Kay |

I had a g80 which had been cut. I ended up buying another g80 to get a replacement weight which hadn't been cut, as it was horrible to drive.
If you like, I could post you the cut weight to swap for yours? Dismantling and reassembly of the diff is pretty easy. |
