Title: CENTRE LSD
Post by: harryhackenbacker on June 30, 2012, 01:51:20 AM
Thanks to Rik at Rossmod for taking quite a lot of time talking to me today ,about all things
MCD  ;) ;)  .
So whats this diff ,well simply it's an LSD as we know ,but for the centre ,with a Very strong
spring , In stock with Rossmod awaiting price ,shortly .
Rik said some will like it some won't ( talking off rd here ) at Race level depends on driver
preference and style .
Pros and cons : well the Obvious plus ,no need to worry on uneven landings ,evens the torque
out and reduces the drive train strain a lot . More steering , especially on high grip .Overall
a smoother all round Lap .
The cons , Reduced Braking but still good , slightly less punch out of corners , and on a very
wet track not as fast as a locked centre .
So reading between the lines ,with this fitted ,you need to drive well smooth and tidy and
brake well and as straight as possible , the locked centre allows more Flamboyant driving  :lol: :lol:
Mines on the way ,and I will try it ,in V4 and X4  8) 8)

 No good with the present brake setup Im afraid!  You need to do my mod to get the best out of it!  ;)

Here is the mod....

I think the new very stiff LSD might be somewhat better ,although not perfect brakes wise ,
as good and clever as your mod is ,few will or are capable of taking it on .
So it's an option to try ,some may live with it ,some may not , it may save some Bashers money,
the ones who don't know what brakes are anyway  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Some day they might copy your idea and make a V5 based on that  :lol: :lol:

They did not copy when I showed them some years ago, so I doubt it  :P

It is true, you need to adopt your driving style... I liked it, maybe I'll do it again... :)
