taking out the spool :(

[STEALTHY™]

LOL dude, seriously, To snap an axle on a launch you need a shitload of power, and put it into a wall at 100mph? thats 160km, If someone stapped an axle and didnt get off the pedal straight away then they deserve what they get, and not to mention if you had a car with enough power to snap an axle on take off then the other wheel would just spin...... Big hole in your theory BUUUUUUUUT if somehow that was possible then its a perfect example of the driver being the problem and not the diff

I know of a certain car that had a welded diff, which snapped an axle, managed to get wheelspin in all 5 gears, without any movement from the steering wheel to keep the car straight.....If i hadn't seen it with my own eyes, i probably would have agreed with whathisface that you'd end up in a wall if such a thing happened.

Oh clever.

Both my commodores are legal.

That puts me a step ahead of half the other posters in this thread.

So Nah, Im not a retard - Stealthy is. And all the rest of you driving illegal shitheaps are too.

[TI3VOM]

Yes well we were all young and stupid once, come to think about it I'm still young and stupid but at least I'm learning, no actually the car was purchased off an old guy, modified then sold to me, nah mate why would you think that car had been thrashed? Did the spool give that away genius?

Keep digging that hole you're digging. Purchased off an old guy then modified then sold to you, OKAY.

How do you know it was an old guys car? was there proof? why was it modified then sold to you? who modified it?

LOL. Its been fun, but i think its time i blocked you before i tell you my true opinion of you and your poverty packs.

Also, both your cars are not legal. I guaranteed you could be defected (because every car on the roads can )

So i obviously dont know anything, because I drive execs.

I work on heavy passenger service vehicles all day, but I apparently know nothing about road safety because my commodores are only execs.

What a tool.

Bahahah shitheaps? dunno about that...also i highly doubt your cars a 100% "legal"

Was a UFO chasing your friend, or was it after you for the anal probe? did he also pull a sub 5 second pass on the 1/4 with his 5th gear burnout? And you spoke about creditability, now you just proved yourself an idiot!. go back in the corner and pull some more bongs, then drop some of your man hero, side drifting, burnouts in front of the kindy to impress the girls.

Both have passed WOF inspections within the last month, and neither have had any illegal modifications done. I also keep a close eye on tire wear.

So yeah, my cars are 100% legal.

Like i said, if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes, i wouldn't have believed it. I never do drugs, i dont even drink, so you can be certain it definitely happened. Keep in mind this wasn't a top fuel dragster with sticky types, just a padock basher VL.

I never do burnouts in residential area's (which is why that news story posted by that moron before was laughable, the diff had nothing to do with the crash.......####head driver with an LSD is still a ####head driver)

[Andrew426]

What, are you trying to bait me or something?

[ParkwayDrv]

What, are you trying to bait me or something?

No, i rolled my eyes at your statement.

[Andrew426]

Why, because you dont believe both my cars are legal?

What reason do you have to believe they are not legal? They both have current WOF, good tires and have not been modified illegally.

[padrickz88]

So you're saying its ok if only 1 or two people die from it?

Wrong attitude man.

The fact that this thread seems to be about 'an LSD being less dangerous in the wet than a spool' is ####in rediculous, and you obviously shouldnt be fitting either.

Where did I say its ok if only 1 or 2 people die from it? My point was that there are more cars with the problems i mentioned above that would be counted a shitload more dangerous on the roads then a spool would....

That was an example of what happens in the real world! have you ever been to the drags? I've seen it happen plenty of times; cars launching good and suddenly shooting off sideways. Sometimes the driver is lucky they get to be the driver again. I know you are such a good driver, you could respond fast, and these others can't drive for sh!t. Have you ever though at a decent launch, at peak torque when the axle would snap that the engine would have enough momentum to continue driving the rear tyres for a while; not a long period just enough to throw that power into that one 1 axle.

But after a search last night on other forums it seems you guys are in your own world with loving spools for the street. I'll leave my comments here and you can go on defending your spools.

1. I never said im a an epic driver, I said people who dont have common sense are the one's that end up in trouble.
2. Im not denying that you cant go into a wall, I'm saying your little example above is unrealistic. Seriously, how long does it take the human brain to process "oh #### i have lost traction, better get off the gas"? a second or two? now you tell me what car can reach speeds of 100mph within that 2 seconds? sure the wheel speeds could be 100mph but the actual speed the car is traveling would be nothing like that.
ANDDDDDD if someone didn't process they had lost or snapped an axle and continued to keep there foot to the floor, then they deserve what they get

now you just proved yourself an idiot!. go back in the corner and pull some more bongs,

So Nah, Im not a retard - Stealthy is. And all the rest of you driving illegal shitheaps are too.

Come on guys, no reason to start throwing personal insults at people

I will also add, if you have an exhaust high chances are you wont meet epa test, So the car does have illegal mods...

this is what normally ends in expensive damage lift off the gas all of a sudden shes all over CRUNCH

So yeah, my cars are 100% legal.

where do you get your WOF's done? i only ask because there are very few places that do a proper inspection. to me it is more of a money making enterprise. i.e do it at a tyre shop and they are likely to fail your tires to get work, body shop will find any rust and fail you etc.

both my VN and missus VS passed there last WOF inspections at a proper VTNZ testing station. go figure

[immortality]

here in NZ a full exhaust system is legal as we don't have the same EPA standards. it's only noise that is of major concern

[VN_Luke]

All good with a full spool, until you launch it hard snap an axle and put it into a wall at 100+mph cause one wheel is still driving hard. Give me a decent LSD any-day for me...

Any technical reason the spool would be any more likely to snap an axle during launch, over say... a 'decent lsd' - with the assumption axles are in the same condition on both vehicles to start with?

Nope, I didn't say you are more likely to snap an axle during a straight launch because of a spool. The only issue is if you do break one.

Accelerating hard during a corner with a spool it is a different story. Then you have a greater risk of weakening / snapping an axle. Also you would need decent power and decent tyres for this to become a problem.

The problem is everyone that fits a spool to a heap of shit VN street car IS driving like a tool.
Stealthy reckons he doesn't but then I get the distinct impression Stealthy thinks he's gods gift to driving, so anything he says is redundant as far as I'm concerned.

Millions of drivers manage to get home safely with single spinner diffs everyday and yet SOMEHOW Spools are a better idea.

As I said, there is only one reason you would want one. Everything else that has been stated is a bad excuse for having them. Let go of yourselves boys, it'll turn blue and fall off.

[delcowizzid]

i have a spool its sitting where it belongs in the centre console waiting for drag day they just suck to much on the street

[Pickled]

Keep digging that hole you're digging. Purchased off an old guy then modified then sold to you, OKAY.

How do you know it was an old guys car? was there proof? why was it modified then sold to you? who modified it?

That's what I was told, and I can tell it was purchased off an old guy because it was well looked after and still in original condition apart from the modifications.

It was modified for the same reason anyone modifies their Holden, they want it to look, sound and perform the way they want it to, the person I purchased it off modified it, anyone more questions Führer?

Theres 1000s of people who have spools and dont seem to plow into other peoples cars. Likewise theres 1000s of ####sticks with open wheels and LSDs who DO crash. Pointless argument.

I'm not gods gift to driving, i just dont drive outside my limits, or my cars limits, which is the reason my car has lasted so long without being smashed......and is the key mistake people like in that news article make.
