I am not sure YOU would like your cv written by a Pistonheader who doesn't know you.
Fair point
Phil, non-LSD axles react very differently from LSD axles. Plus 8s/Aeros have LSD axles and Plus 4 and 4/4s do not. (Additionally, earlier Salisbury axles are weak (the non-LSDs versions more so), and very hard (aka almost impossible) to find parts for. Too much power into a 4/4 makes it a non-fun..even dangerous car.
Quite right. I had a Zetec throttle bodied car which just spun it's inside rear wheel when pressed hard. Too much power and torque gives too little grip. I would have thought it a 'given' on high torque turbo conversions to fit an LSD.
But there are also dangers for the unintiated with an LSD too? They can 'snap' back, clssically if you start a slide and let off they can then bite back and cause you to spinoff in exaclty the opposite directio to what you were having the problem with. Saw a race Ford Escort at Silverstone start to slide wide at Woodcote (the fast corner by the start line) he let off and ended up hitting the pit wall hard on the inside of the corner.
There is also a big difference between the clutch type LSD that Morgan use as original equipment and the gear type (e.g Quaife). I had Quaife on my race Plus 8 and it was much more progressive than the normal cluthc one. I am told they can make a big difference to an Aero too.
Thanks for that. It looks very simmilar to the Throttle Body conversion work that I had done by Mogsport on my Zetec (early silver top not later Focus). This is a fairly standard conversion used on Zetec cars this side of the pond (not sure about North America). Lots of kit cars and Westfields run this set up. Lots of competings suppliers gives a good choice at reasonable prices.
