Need LSD

[Draconis]

Okay, I hear a lot about how the VLSD sucks. I know there are multiple type so LSD. VLSD, LSD, Clutch LSD... iono... can someone give me a run down on them and which one is the best?

People that say VLSD suck aren't really using the correct diff in the 1st place to be honest. They prob want to do doughnuts in a car park or something

A 1.5 or 2 way clutch type is approx £600. This is the best option but is beyond my price bracket.

If you want to drift then weld it. My VLSD will have the car sideways in the dry. The VLSD gets hot and its viscous coupling loosens off allowing the inside wheel to spin.

If you want to combat single wheel spin and nicer control when in a 'grip' situation the VLSD is brilliant

If you go from an open diff to a VLSD, you'll think its good. If you go from a VLSD to an mechanicall 2 way diff, you'll think that its so much better.

Hi,

Has anyone welded the original diff at all and how successful was it ?

Its fine in a way. Its awful for slow speed manaeovres etc and does create a fair amount of initial understeer.

If you are focused on drifting 90% of the time then weld it, its 2nd best to a 2 way diff.
