So one of my clients I sold a condo to last year works for a reputable Porsche shop in Bellevue, WA that has many cars go to be set up for track stuff. One of ther people there had a guard taken out of their car to be sent out. Long story short... he decided he doesn't want it and I get it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Hahaha..


John is funny. But misinformed.

The Torque biasing differential selectively gives power to the wheel with the most resistance. Well. More or less. They are tunable, but both wheels have to have some load or the diff wont work properly. This means that the outside tire in a corner gets the most power to it, as opposed to an open diff, where the inside wheel gets the power.

A limited slip is just a clutch that connects both axles together. The idea is that the LS have less friction than the wheels against the pavement. So that going down the straight, you've got lots of power to the pavement, but when turning, you aren't compromising cornering like with a .... spool.

Or a locked differential- called a spool because it looks like a spool that thread or string would go on. It's just a solid cross piece that connects both the axles together. Great for drag racing, terrible for the track, unless you'd like to break the tires loose every corner, just to turn.

That was what I understood. Whether that is what I said or not may be different (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Or were you talking about the other John?

So here are the pics of my wonderful score (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
