yeah, i thought the M59 was the manual AWD trans, maybe that's the m58.

I dont know when you did it but thank god you changed your avatar, that chicken was showing up in my sleep, lol.

Oh and by the way nice snag for the M59.

the LSD in the M59, or so I've heard, is not nearly as effective as the M56H with Quaife.

I think Johann needs to chime in here, along with Eric, but both say that the LSD is only about a 20-25% lock diff on the M59, whereas the Quaife is what, 70% or more?

I was considering the M59, but I'd rather just have the Quaife if Johann and Eric say that the M59 has a weaker diff.

Thats true. But I've been enough times in a car with M59 to notice the improvement over stock M56. I've only been very shortly in a quaife equipped car but the diff didnt impress me that much. Johann's AP suretrack however was awesome. Either way, for 400$ for the box I can afford to swap in the M59 ;)
