mini spool or lsd

[Menace38L]

which one do you prefer?

[soop]

For what application?

Street - LSD.
Track Spool or a really good plated LSD.

[Menace38L]

Street?? Just want everyones opinions i kno ther is heaps of jc members that get around on the streets with spools :d

[Bz Kn33z]

I have a spool and its street driven with 3.9s, if you dont want to be noticed get soft rubber tires on the back, because if they are a hard compound they squeel like a bitch, I like the spool i am use to it now and its not heaps notisable with the right tires on the back and taking corners abit wider and slower.

[soop]

No reason to have one unless you're doing skids.
If you're doing skids that often on the street your a dick.

[Menace38L]

yeah na wont be doing skids heaps dats how i lost my license i never wanna lose it again n wanna keep it that way lol.

sorry for the stupid question lol what kind of soft rubber tyres Bz Kn33z

[soop]

would it not be easier to buy a $500 VN and stick a spool in that?

[Bz Kn33z]

The Price compared to an LSD is a big difference, and the majority of LSDs these days are stuffed and need to be rebuild, its a cheaper option for some, and mine is for the strip but i drive in town aswell i am telling him what he will need to do for intown use, not saying to rip skids everywhere.

Remoulds are good there a soft rubber or if you want to pay more just look around ask your local tire place, remoulds work well you the Drags

[Bz Kn33z]

When it comes down to it, you get what you pay for, Minispools have there good sides and bad same as an LSD. i am in the country so its abit different to the City might think twice about that.

[soop]

Im in the country too, Still wouldn't have one.

Detroit locker, yes. Them I can live with.

[Bz Kn33z]

I just bit the bullet, having the supercharger on the car with a single pegger was no fun, i wanted the power to the ground so did all the bearings and bought a skyline diff for $80 got the gears, and a $40 new Minispool, then went straight out to the drags.

[Menace38L]

yea i kno my friends lsd crazy some times goes 2 then goes 1 its crazy nearly lost it few times in hes vs so i keen as on mini spool for my vn!!

how much are those detroit lockers??

[Menace38L]

how much did all the bearings cost i like 3.9s but i only have a v6 and be bit too short for my likings im getting 3.45s for mine!

[Bz Kn33z]

$1-$200 all up i think, i want 3.7s 3.9s are abit short with a manual, but perfect with an auto, 3.45s you dont really feel,

[Menace38L]

do 3.45s make much diffrence?? ma bro had 3,9s in his vn v6 way too short for me ay but pulled hard aye!!

[Bz Kn33z]

just stick with the 3.08s i think if you wanna drive around, and if your converting to manual will be fine,

[Menace38L]

Thanks for the advice.. yea probs will for awhile, till i get slack then il look for 3.45s or 3.7s mate got 3.7s in his vp v6 manual he tells me he keeps up n beats some 5Ls..

[Bz Kn33z]

3.7s are rare, 5l you usually catch u up high or around 80kph a stock.

[soop]

Detroit lockers aren't cheap. Budget on $1000. Good setup though.

[Menace38L]

yea i kno havent seen them much on my searchs on the net?? do u kno any places that sell them?

ohh and soop dats way too much for me lol but sounds like a tuff diff aye!!

[Krisp]

a tougher diff is my dana lsd 4.55 ratio comon grab that you know your wanna

[Menace38L]

how much dat cost ya n dont ya mean 3.55 ratio?

[Krisp]

nah 4.55 ratio and cost me a bottle of wild turkey for the whole car

[Menace38L]
