right ive got a 325i cab, which was an auto but had it converted to manual

now i cant get the car to donut properly

and mates tell me that only one wheel is spinning when doing a burnout etc.....

is this becuase of the standard diff

what do i need a sport LSD or something and if yes what differences will i be seeing will there be a difference in power???

and will i definatley be able to donut it?

all feedback shall be appreciated

thanks

p.s which lsd do i need which ratio??

With an LSD you will be able to doughnut properly.

The LSD limits the amount that a wheel spins, it will lock the diff depending on the rate, hence the reason only one of your wheels is spinning.

so which one do i need?

3.64 is that the one

also how hard is it to fit, basically how much would it cost to fit

the most common althought both rare is 3.64 and 3.91, or the best comprimise is a 3.7 something but do these exist in LSD form?
Diff fitting is not too bad a job, re-fitting can be a bit fiddlely but if you're not a complete spastic with a spanner then you should be ok

You can get a 3.73 LSD although quite rare.

What's the point in doughnutting anyway, you jut stress out everything and wreck your tyres. It's just as bas as wheelspinds and handbrake turns. Try drifting then you might impress someone.
