Lsd.

[ReDBull]

Thats good to know. Also I'm not after big power just a good road set up.
I had a Subaru a while ago and at times I do miss the 4wd but not the fuel costs. Hopefully the diff will do the job of the much needed grip. I looked into EVOs and test drove a FX320 EVOIX. The running costs are scary man. Also it felt a bit artificial, fast but it left you think the cars doing most of the driving. It was also odd feeling the power being shifted from wheel to wheel.
You'll learn to love your LCR especially when you done a few choice mods.Where are you based?

 

[ReDBull]

on another note.... good choice with the lsd. did you order it through jabba as i am thinking about this soon?

Sorry didn't answer this question. Yes the selection fork between 1st and 2nd feel off leaving me with out those gears. So they repaired it and fitted the diff. I also had a clutch and flywheel fitted but unfortunately not there single mass flywheel and sacs clutch. Have a look on there web site. They advertise the Pelaquin diff but the Quaife is cheaper and is highly recommend. Plus I like to buy British!

LOL. I agree on the British front.
Also with the Evo. The ayc takes a lot of getting used to... It's like when you used to skid as a kid, you get to the stage where you know your going to fall, but then all of a sudden everything is normal and you done nothing. LOL. I'm outside kings Lynn. Where about are you? I haven't seen another cupra around here.

 

[ReDBull]

I'm in the Lincoln area so another 2-2 1/2 hour drive Monday morning. I may let the wife go christmas shopping at John Lewis in Peterborough as sweetner.
It's good to hear you feed back on the map. What other mods has your car had?

 

[youngyWHU]

forge 007p with yellow spring, forge tip, lower fmic, green cotton cone filter, full scorpian exhaust with decat, thats about it performance wise. i need a proper look over the car on the ramps at work but need the time too. lol.

Did it take him long to get used to it?
Thanks for the feed back if only I could pick my car up sooner!

I think it took a bit to get used to, but he says it's the best mod he has done

 

[ReDBull]

Well I picked my car up this morning and it's been an interesting drive back. So good that I missed my turning and ended up in Boston.
Like Prawn said the Quaife ATB diff is very subtle in operation. There is no harsh locking of the diff. You just find turn in under power is sharper and it pulls you into the apex rather than having to waiting for the grip. As I'm getting used to the diff I'm noticeably getting on the power earlier. You can also take much tighter lines through corners.
I'm looking forward to a few more miles in the car which is also feeling much better for the new clutch. Big thumbs up to Jabbasport for the excellent service, they evan washed my car!
One question though. When exiting slow tight 1st 2nd gear corners. There seems to be something going on between the diff and TC. Coming out of one corner power was cut to the wheels completely. So should I turn off TC?
I could do with a little more power now.If I didn't have to replace the suspension and brakes. I'd be booking in for a remap. Having said that with a rear ARB it'd be nice and pointy.

i miss my prelude mk4 2.2 vtec with LSD it had more than enough grip for a FWD.

 

[akchappers]

Nice one mate! Glad you're happy! Trouble is with people like us we always want more! Hence you want a remap now! Get it soon!

A friend had a DC2 integra type R and that thing was amazing, a hell of alot of fun. Preludes are underrated cars and so are the Accord type R's.

Still in the pipeline mate and using it as a loan car till spring so at the moment collecting some parts and I have quite a bit already including some fetching passat seats in beige! So it is up and coming but what with my cupra going full stage 2 in two weeks and my mark1 Toledo getting a cupra engine all at r tech iv not had much time! Plus my mrs " made" me buy a Golf 5 gti dsg at the weekend to keep her happy!

You sound like you've got your hands full! You're 'wife' will love the GTI. I can recommend the Morego 250 conversion, power grip and AP 4 pots for it . DSG takes a bit of getting used to though. Looking forward to the rating.

 

[akchappers]

Yea the sport mode is nice! Might leave it standard for a bit till I get bored ( not her) be something I hope will be reliable as I'm guessing the cupra might be a bit droney at speed in two weeks time! However didn't even get the thing home before the airbag light came on! Sorted now though! Il let you know soon. Pic going up in my readers ride thread soon!

[cupra_r_ick]

dude, the benefits of LSD can not be felt with ESP on, i drive with it off almost all the time for this reason

 

[ReDBull]

What colour is it? Mine was candy White, DSG,monza II's and winter pack. It was a very nice car and fast once remapped.

 

[akchappers]

Exactly the same except guards red and il bet youres was a 3 door! Mines a 5! Easier with kids! An as for speed mrs ain't a speed freak, till someone passes her! Best part is the chequered seats!

[ReDBull]

Those of you running a tricky diff out there. Have you switched the traction control off?

 

[cupra_r_ick]

Switch it off all the tine
