just outta curiousity the lower ratio in a diesel diff is going to alter the accuracy of the speedo ?? and if i end up opting for rear disk brakes ill never be able to smoke them up every again ??

| just clamp ya brake lines with vice grips, then tape the grips to the brake line, so they dont go anywhere. thats for when you want to do burnouts. |

Roughly 9%, so when your speedo says you're doing 60, you're really doing about 65.

| The diesel one has a taller diff. It gives you a higher top speed but its slower off the line. |

| with speculation over a g180 and g200 engines a diesel diff would go better with the g200 considering its got more torque to counter the slower diff ratio ?? |

| the 3.5 diesel diff brings the revs down at 100 in fifth to round 2900 instead of 3400 therebouts in a petrol. i have a diesel here that almost keeps up with my nanna wagon and supposidly the diffs are stronger but dunno bout that 4 sure |
