I've had this thing bloody ages, it's about time in my opinion.
I used an Atomic ball diff and replaced the spur gear with the belt disk. Then got a plastic bushing (the ones you put in the wheels) and dremmelled the inside out to fit the Atomic shaft. Then placed the belt disk around the bushing, put all the plates back, locked that baby up and wala!

As I said, maybe the worlds second - following Matt's (Mk2).
I feel like it's a bit of a bodge job to get these working. Not sure how well it will perform on the track but it gained 2kph on the dyno and only 4/10's of a gram on the scales.
Next meet should be interesting.
I spent £16 on the BDDS, £19 on the Atomic diff and £24 on the PN motor mount. A total of £59 ($84.40) WITHOUT postage.
Obviously, the motor mount has more uses than just the diff, being light n' all, but still. Very expensive and unless I start smashing old lap times, I don't really think it was worth it. Although it is damn quiet and I have a little bit of a thing for a quiet car... :D Then again, it was nearly silent with a geared diff, but oh well... :rolleyes:
