Yay, finally!

SHES FINALLY HERE

Went to pick her up on thursday, and its been well worth thae wait

The paint isnt actually a flat black, but it has a gold / bronze pearl in it which I never knew about, it also scrubs an inside tyre when pulling of of junctions - after getting it up in the air it appears to have an aftermarket, plated, 1.5 way LSD on it

Fitted quite a few of the bits for it now as well, inc the Skyline seats and a Sterio...

No Pics as yet, but will come later this week

About time matey looking forward to seeing it.

Well I got to see it on stuys way home and it is amazing! Am absolutly in love with it and I know stu will do it alot of justice

Get some pics up!

the people demand pictures, also a ride in it once its all running how you want it to.

wer u in sainsburys in upton late on last nite? as i was leavin a car came in with STUY on the number plate. it was dark too so cudnt see the car properly.

Will try and get some pics towards the end of the week, working away at the moment so wont get the chance to take any.

Front splitter is off the car at the moment as it was just to low, but Im gonna get the new bumper, splitter, wing, headlight cover painted as soon as I can and throw them all on together along with the rear lights.

Car runs great considering the bigger injectors, MAF and different ECU

...and yup, that was me going in to Sainsburys last night

The people demand pics.Glad ur pleased with it stuy!

What causes the scrubbing,and is it me or is it wierd to scrub when pulling away,do u mean tunring and pulling away or just going straight on pulling away?

Its when you turn tightly.

Its because the diff is so tight in limiting how much slip is allowed between the rear wheels, it scrubs the inside tyre as it doesnt want to allow it as much slip as needs to make the turn - only really does it when pulling out of 90 degree junctions - gonna be fun in the wet

Thats one tight diff mate if its scrubbing the tread on lock

It is going to drift big time mate......

Carnt wait to see the car in the flesh.

Oh,i thought u meant scrubbing arches.Not LSD power. Thats awful tight isnt it. That a good thing or a bad?

Its good, Drift city

but what about everyday road use,wont it provoke unsteer/oversteer cos the arse is dragging?

When driving in a straight line the diff dosnt really effect the driving as the power is distributed evenly as each rear wheel is turning the same, when turning there is a resistance as the inner wheel turns slower than the outside wheel. With a tight LSD it Limits the amount of slip which the diff alows.

This is so if wheel spin occurs then its not just one wheel that spins like a standard car, with a LSD then both wheels would spin which gives more traction. The other advantage is that if both rear wheels spin then when you break traction then its easier to DRIFT

Cheers for Explaining that Jay

Driving the car on the road, yes it does make it a little more tail happy, but it is a lot more predictable than a std viscous LSD

Only really notice the tyres scrubbing when pulling out of 90 degree junctions, as normal corners dont turn tight enough to get to the limit of the diff.
