quick querie, when i wheelspin, what wheel spins? its not an lsd

The one with least grip basically. Round a bend the inside wheel will spin because of the weight transfer. In a straight line either could lose traction first. Depends on road surface, tyre condition, if rik waller's driving

cool, i thought it was only the lsd that transfered the power, and it was the same wheel that spun all the time on my car, you learn somethin new everyday

if one of the wheels isnt moving as u spin then u dont have an lsd

ive not got an lsd , me thinks an experiment is called for down the industrial estate involving rain, a heavy right boot and someone to watch!

I too thought that one wheel was more prone to spinning than the other? So there is no bias at all? If you are testing it I think that even without an LSD you can get both wheels to spin, maybe only for a short time, if they both have equal traction?

Aston

best way, and sadly how i found out i didnt have one is to park with one rear on a grass verge and one on tarmac, then boot it, and if you dont shoot forward then you dont have a slippy


with me, it was replace grass for snow, on a lay-by. the bitch would not budge had too stuff the carmats under the tyres to get traction

There'd be a bias if you had a live axle as the torque loads one wheel more than the other (all other things being equal)

Other than that, IRS cars shouldn't spin one in preference to the other AFAIK

ive had both wheels spinning with a none lsd just shows how well balanced these cars are
but if i do a burnout only one spins

i doubt it rich.

maybe one spins then the other, but both shudnt spin at same time

i slap the 15s on and show you

can and have got both wheels spinning while going in a straight line
2 black lines behind be

id be interested to see that.


and get ur arse back on msn

plenty of people have seen it
only hapens when the car empty though due to weight

and msn gone tits up wont sign me back in drrrrrrrrr

Yeah I've lit up both wheels with my open diff, lift a big fat smoking number 11

It is entirely possible, just less likely to happen than with an LSD.

is an open diff what you call one thats not an lsd?

yes it is mate

richy, i saw the mini vid of the burnout u did, r u sure u dont have an lsd?

def an open diff
no s on tag
all my diff says is 3.91
