Just wanted to follow up and see how things went with your locked diff project? What was the outcome and how do you like driving with a locked diff? Can oyu give me any feedback about a locked diff compared to a torque Biasing one.

Pros and Cons.


Thanks

so some general impressions,

high speed corners are very similar, perhaps a bit more oversteer feeling if anything.

Slow speed corners there was more push.

biggest surprises came when driving through the pits, let go of the steering wheel for a second and the car straightens out in a quick snap, no more adjusting stuff with two hands unless in a straight line.

I loosened my rear bar (SRP) by two holes, and added 0.5 degrees more negative camber in the front and things started to feel better. I will need to give a more thorough review once I drive Thunderhill which I know much better (end of May)

The loosening of the rear sway bar made the fast sweepers less exciting, if you know what I mean, and the extra camber in the front got me the bite on the turn in on the slow corners needed.

I have no plans to switch my locked rear end out for a quaife or LSD at this point, I now have one of each sitting in my garage so I could.

Thanks for the advice. I have both Torque Biasing and Locked. Wanted to know what you felt about the locked. I might sell mine but I think I might like it. Many old school racers seem to like the locked rear ends. Mine is Brand spanking new. Had it built and deilvered to the track due to a possible failure in my TB diff.
