Hi,
In a previous thread, I asked which was the best LSD... I have done some reading and now I am dangerously educated (not enough to know, but enough to have an opinion) I think that what I need is a disk type true limited slip differential due to the fact that this is a dedicated autocross/track car. Now, yesterday I had alot of fun testing my car and had some success and some surprises. I bought the car with a "locked" differential. That means a welded differential with both drive axles going the same speed no matter what... This made for some quick learning trying to negotiate some of the tight turns in our local autocross course... Luckily I chose wisely and used the 10 plus year old racing slicks for my test day because alot of the rear tires still remains on the pavement....it was the only way to turn (not that theres anything wrong with that) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) So....my question, what locking percentage would you recommend for an autocross car with circa 180-200 hp...? 1800 lbs Rich |
