Z1 LSD compared to others

Spooler · 03-17-2020, 06:56 PM

Go watch YouTube on my channel. Spooler. If you want to see how a VLSD does look at the early videos and then check out the last ones. You will hear some one wheel peelers exiting the turns. If you were closer, I could take you out for a ride and show you why you need one. You might crap your pants but you will get the picture quick. You don't need a turbo car to feel the difference. A NA car does the same thing, it is just a little more forgiving.

mine has been good to me and stays straight as an arrow until the the wheels start spinning.. but its been a pretty tame car to hold onto during power oversteer for me. But I also have a very stock suspension so it isnt too twitchy. I dont think we would have 60's in the 1.4s if the diff was opening. YMMV, just never personally had one that opens.

I went with a Quaife a few years back when the Wavetrac wasn't so well known on our platform. I'm quite happy as compared to a base open diff, but I wish I'd gone with the Wavetrac. I don't like how when I try to get up a banked driveway and a wheel lifts I get no forward push. I've learned to deal with it on the rare occasion it does happen, but if you find yourself with a tricky driveway entrance/departure I'd go with the Wavetrac. When I'm driving I've never had an issue though.
