OS Giken for 8.8? How much will that be, $3k?
What is the bias ratio of the eaton? I didn't see one on their website...
Yikes... what actually failed there? I assume you kept the fluid level good up to that point?
There were a lot of factors at play with our super fast diff wear: power levels (430-440 whp), tire size (315mm Hoosier A6s at the time), and "amount of yaw angle" from the driver. Yea, my "style" of (over)driving was probably the leading factor to early diff demise, heh.

I meant besides the obvious...Looks like a failure of static friction to me

Haha oh, I completely missed the point. I thought something let go, and that was uncontrollable.Driver failure. Broke his brain and added too much throttle on corner exit, hence the tire smoke and opposite lock.
Terry was just trying to illustrate how he overdrives the car.
Clutches are funny, the disc on my 23000 mile unit also looked brand new with almost no wear and no dust collection in the bell housing, pressure plate looked fine too, no heat checking or bent diaphragm fingers, just the disc marcel spring stamping gave way and shot the spring out and game over. Saw this on 4 other track day/WTW cars including my friends twice. Just not up the the sustained rpm I guess.
Also heat in the rear axle assembly is huge, differential cooler will help with longevity on all the parts mentioned in the posts, except maybe T-Lok discs.

There are several nationally-competitive SCCA guys who rebuild their TracLocks after every event.
I guess they just prefer the way the TracLock performs. That sounds like too much work to me.
Could be for some folks who need a near locker, and are saddled with rules that allow only the stock differential. You can easily set a clutch pack up real tight, but the friction material wears quickly and only lasts for an event or two. I went there with a stock '90 Mustang LX on Hoosiers back in the day. It does work for some types of auto-x courses and T. Fair type drivers....
Got so with a little help, I could change clutches at the track in a half hour or so.
$1890?! What is it made of? Fairy dust and unicorn farts? Why would it be worth 4x a Truetrac or 3x a T2-R?
Sounds like a headache encased in a nice steel package.2-way tunability, adjustability, 30 clutch packs, etc.
Probably more unicorn than fairy.
