The difference it made in my car was huge.  I live on a country lane
and there is always gravel on the pavement where you enter the main
road.  Before the Quaife, a little too much throttle and the car would
head straight for the opposite ditch, no matter how hard you steered
left.  Now, just crunching of gravel by both wheels and the feeling
you are actually steering the power onto the main road.  It makes a
noticeable improvement in the way the car drives, whether you are
thrashing it around or just going to the supermarket.
