Conkers, you're missing my point though. Most people on here arent running big power, nor do they have a big wallet. There's probably 5 running over 250bhp, and very few have really shown an interest to get a better diff. Most here bought an S12 coz they were on a budget, and I can only assume they would like to keep it that way. Things need to be kept in perspective...

The S13 diff is a good upgrade over a standard diff. Yes, its no way near as good as a motorsport or clutch type item, but you need to appreciate that most people who own an S12 don't have deep pockets to afford such goodies. Even if a diff is robbed from a kingcab, it still won't be cheap. You also need to appreciate that most people on here don't have an engineering or motorsport background, and therefore won't have the skills and tools (like you) to setup a diff.

My mate had a welded diff in his S12, whilst brilliant for drifting, it created some alarming understeer at times, which don't help when the S12 front camber isnt too good for understeer. At no point have I said an S13 diff can be used for drifting though.

I will probably get an S15 torsen diff, but these are fetching some good money at the moment, but I'll stick with the S13 LSD that I swapped a used bleed valve, neon lights, a shiny gearnob and a rear wing for

Conkers, with all due respect, this is a friendly forum for S12 discussion and debate. Insults to other members is totally uncalled for and won't be tolerated.

Please ensure your replies are constructive/polite and non derogatory.

First, I want to apologise to 30psi for being rude. Make no mistake about that, Sorry.

But Richard, I have some beef with you..

Constructive.. I think my post has been constructive Richard, and I apologise for insinuating that the guy was a pillock.
I took exception to him insinuating that I was a muppet, with the "kingcab has a live axle" comment, when I was perfectly clear in my posting when I used the term "diff" as opposed to "axle", yet he misunderstood me and called me by stating the obvious.
If you are unsure, look up the definition of a diff verses an axle.

You are admin and I respect that, but you are sitting on a high horse and might want to have a good look in the mirror, I just spent a few minutes skimming through the sort of posts and comments you make on here, and can only summise that racist remarks and slurs against different religious beliefs are obviously ok as are derogatory remarks about officials at car meetings...

So I'll be watching you Richard... Racist remarks will not be tolerated, regardless of who you are.


Conkers. <--- "In my country we throw hypocritical administrators down the well" ;-)

Now lets all get back to talking about what we enjoy... Cars, Women and playing with them.

To be perfectly honest I couldn't give a pig's ear how much you "watch" me and if I wish to repeat part of a scene from a 2006 released film (Borat) on my own server, I will do.

With regards to racist comments. I think you will find there are members on this forum of several different races or religions, none of whom are offended by my, or indeed any other posts on here. In the event that any Jew, whether in or out of a well, takes offence to this forum content then please don't hesitate to contact me or any other admin.

Do have a splendid weekend.

Ive got in a few of these threads before and its irratating and can easily get out of hand all because somebody didnt say the full story initially and then someone else is trying to teach them what they already know. This can be easily be taken in offence
There is always banter and disagreements on a forum. Its hard to sometimes get down in a reply what your trying to put forward without it being read wrong or misunderstood.
