Mugen Bulldog Ball differential
Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2008 8:07 pm
Mugen bulldog's differentials are not known to be smooth. There was a design flaw. There was no pressure washer or any spring in the design, the only 'give' in the system was the long 3mm screw, which hardly give at all, which makes proper adjustment of the differential almost impossible, it is either too loose or too tight. (in a moment of weakest, I almost decide to run the rear as straight axle and oneway in the front, I must be sitting in a bathroom .)
I read about this super rare MIP ball differential hop-up about 10 years ago, never seen one in real life and never even heard of it before. I am sure it was due to the relatively low circulation of Bulldogs and therefore low circulation of this MIP hop-up.
My luck, found one NIB for from and rear differentials on the Xbay and got it for less than USD$5 in October, 2008, almost quarter century after this car was born!!
I had a SRB MIP differential before and I know they are good with their machine work. Here you see the beautifully machined parts, very nice tolerance and precise fit. Keep up with the old tradition of MIP good work. The parts are mostly stainless steel, I think. Super hard, do not even need differential rings. The end result is different looking differential, silk smooth!!!!
