An LSD wont give you anymore "grip", thats the job of the tyres, but it will help you get the power down better and stop one wheel spinning...

Which means more grip innit? I thought with LSD id be able to get a much better start, drive through 1st, 2nd with minimal spin, and when it comes to corners, 1 wheel wont start breaking away and losing me grip!? Which means an all round faster ride?

No, theres a difference between "grip" and "traction" mate...

Doesnt microdynamics (or someone) do a TC module?

 

[Dust]

Rage Logic do an excellent TC unit. only weights 500g. However im sick of losing grip form one wheel. Slows you right down. Need power flowing through both wheels for more Traction & better Grip. And then perhaps add launch control for those ultimate launches.

 

[McBunny]

except have you seen the price of Rl TC lol

 

[tuscanboy]

Well I would save your pennies Mark. Kamal wont be able to run a company in less than 21 days and wont have much money to give you.

If you have inherited some and can afford your car etc then sorry but otherwise I would be very careful.

 

[McBunny]

eh ??

 

[BenR]

You could try fitting a 16V/williams LSD.

Drugs are bad, LSD is hallucinagenic. Driving whilst under the influence is not good, stick to caffeine and tabs, both will improve your driving abilities and not distort them. With LSD, you may think the truck coming towards you is a big fluffy bunny rabbit, and only realise its true form when you are embedded in the front of it. .

You dont need more grip, you need to get a grip man.

Just advice, you dont need to take it.

Sorry, I have been drinking / and other weedy like substances.
