Well @nitin_s1 if you want a spin in mine mate you know you're most welcome, then you can get an idea of what it would be like as I have the U2Q7 diff and an A8 (basically an A7), albeit fettled somewhat of course.

Instead of spending a lot on the engine plus the cost of converting ATTS to LSD (ATTS delete plates + new gearbox etc etc), Rich suggested that I should just get a second ATR engine complete with gearbox. This would save on the converting to LSD. :idea:

Part of me thinks it's a brilliant idea but for a JDM whore to put the UKDM engine in a JDM car will haunt me. :evil: :cry:
A bit of liquid metal in the "7" and you'll not know the difference ;)

Although are the ATTS delete plates and the delete itself actually going to be more than the going rate of a decent a7?...

Maz at (Hond-R) has the delete plate templates and he's in the process of making some now at the moment. Delete plate it self is around £80. That's the important bit rest you can get from the Gearbox which you're going to fit in the car (driveshafts etc).

So I'm not sure how the complete a7 swap is cheaper... :?:

I think he has engine issues too, requiring a rebuild?

Yep, fire me a text when you're going to be around @nitin_s1 and we'll sort it. 8-)

My M2P4 gearbox has the LSD from the U2Q7 fitted in it. One of my favourite mods.
