Mercedes C300 Race Car Update - Differential Rebuild and Install
Just recently we sourced a Quaife LSD Limited Slip Differential from the UK. This differential, while utilizing a different method of locking, is the same style differential as all BMW M cars and many other high performance cars. This is a requirement for a race car in order to have the proper handling characteristics and traction entering and leaving a corner. While many cars in the past had LSDs standard this is declining rapidly. Therefore it has become a popular upgrade for many "High-level Enthusiasts". On Tuesday we rebuilt and installed this Quaife LSD into the existing differential housing from the Mercedes C300.
The next few weeks will be busy as we continue to wrap up the car. I can tell you that we are moving quickly in the right direction and we're well prepared to race a car that not only is atypical but very well built. I'm incredibly excited for what's next!
