Limited Slip Diff into a Scimitar GTE...
Sorry everyone, this should have been updated in Nov '05 - but here it is all the same...
LATEST: Along with my rear disc conversion is the fitment of a Jag Limited Slip Diff, lots of people have done this in Scimitars and its pretty strightforward. To keep things simple do what I did and go to Nicol in Kidderminster, call them on 01562 752651.
Ask them to dismantle your old axle and fit the Jag LSD or Powerlok of your choice (i.e. what ratio do you want?). The internals of one of those massive Jag IRS setups found in the back of many a Jag XJ / XJS etc and will fit inside the case of a Scimitar 4ha axle with only minor machining of custom bits - easy eh...
Mine has been on for almost a year at the time of writing this page and behaves excellently. I went for a 3.77:1 ratio making my gears quite a bit lower than a standard Scimitar and to be honest cruising isn't unpleasant atall, acceleration on the other hand from the tuned 4.6 V8 is superb...
