heard of them..... was gonna start looking into them, I know you will need to remove something and buy some diff bolts I think. Not as straight forward to fit as Quaffie or Peloquin.

Just looked at eBay and it does look like my peloquin. Seeing its for Corrado, Golf VR6, G60 you may need to change the output flanges to push in type instead of the bolt in type that is on the Ibiza...... they're £75 each.

limited slip diff.....adjust the angular velocity of the wheels in contact with the tarmac..i think may adjust the torque depending on traction...probably just talked aload of shite

Know when you wheel spin and you only get one wheel spinning??? Well this to because of the diff within the gearbox..... when you corner the inside wheel spins quick and sometimes lights up . This is because there is no load on that wheel. With a LSD (Limited Slip Diff) it will lock both the wheels and supply them with the some power (not lossing it through wheel spin)..... improves the handling so much!

But with the Ibiza even people say LSD it's actually a ATB (Anti Torque Baising Diff) basically the same thats on the 2002/03 Ford Focus RS..... it allows the wheel with no load to spin slightly and then locks it so both wheels and then locked. Thats why when you read reviews about the Focus RS it says it pulls to the side a bit harshly but the a front wheel drive car with a bit of power or someone looking to get the best handling possible a lsd/atb is ideal!

Honda DC2 & 5 comes with an LSD as standard and the DC2 was classed as the best FWD car made at that time.

What crezz said is right but technical way........ trying to show he's brainy! :)

great explanations i dont know that much about these ibizas but searching through threads about bushes arb`s and suspension coilies or ?? seemed as good a place to start as any, this should if driven correctly aid in the cornerering made a lump of difference in mi 106 roadcar if you disagree chirp up i dont mind :shrug: it will help gt the power down any way
