Stiffer Diff Bushings.
Anyone know if these are readily available here?
I have heard the negatives about high road noise etc but for the track I think it might help the axle tramp type effect I get at the start line.
Could be completely wrong too...
But I figure its worth a shot....

I would skip the bushes and go straight to bigger swaybars... Ask Furai what difference the bushes made as he inherited my polyurethane ones and hasn't done much else except better shocks. In terms of doing the bushings for the rest of the car, they are well worth it!
I can't really tell how much the swaybars did by themselves as I combined them with a whole stack of other work, not to mention the standard swaybars are suuuuuper thin

I can vouch for the heavier sway bars, the diference was amazing. My car handled really well fro a road car (Keiths previous Koni Race setup) but adding the sway bars made the turn in and mid corner balance incredible.
I also have the PPF / Diff bracing from a 94 (complete subframe).
Are there any suppliers in NZ for the diff bushings?

I bought a complete set of poly bushings from flyin miata and I though it was a very reasonable price (I think a bit over 400NZD all up incl shipping?)
They also have the set of diff bushings on their own:

I didn't end up using the diff bushings that came with my kit as I'd just installed a Torsen from a 1.8 and I didn't feel like taking it out again so I sold them to another member.

I used to get a lot of axle hop on take off in the TG, even with the Energy diff mount bushes. Fitting the Beatrush PPF brace seems to have sorted it though. Ran 6 stages on the Targa Rallysprint and no axle hop on take off.

The rubber bushes need to be pressed in with a lot of force, are the new polyurethane diff bushes hard to install in a home workshop?
My car gets a bit of gear whine in 5th, but other than that both my Torsen diffs are pretty quiet. Is it possible that the PPF frame isn't aligned properly and it's putting some tension on the diff gears?

The polyurethane bushes are pretty easy to fit in with the grease they supply, if their a bit stubborn a set of poly-grips or a G clamp can easily aid them in!.marcellarius wrote:The rubber bushes need to be pressed in with a lot of force, are the new polyurethane diff bushes hard to install in a home workshop?
