Lsd

[MBS206]

Of the cars ive driven with mini spools and even welded diffs, wet/dry condition, neither are all that bad, as long as you are aware that you are in fact driving a car with a locker and dont try to be a hero around corners in the wet, its fine. Even in my mates S2 rx7, which isnt exactly heavy in the arse end. with a welded diff is fine in the wet and that diff has been welded for around 2.5 years.

Obvously an lsd would be a much better option by far, but getting the welder out can be a good way to learn how a car behaves when boths wheels are spinning evenly.

The advantage of the welded/spooled diff, is you KNOW everytime you give it a hit around a corner, both wheels are going to spin.

With an LSD, the LSD picks and chooses if it'll single spin, or double...

My R33 is horrible for this. Give it a big kick in the guts, it'll single, so you just keep turning normally, then it'll double up step you out sideways so you have to throw a heap of anti lock at it, and then it decides to single again, and you guessed it, your front wheels are now pointed the wrong way...

I've also came through the same corner, mearly a minute after I went through last time. First time I went through it basically slightly singled. Came through the second time and instead it decides it wants a massive double coming out...

With the locker/spool/welded diff, you'll NEVER have to worry about single wheeling occasions.

LSDs wear out, and when they wear, they become unpredictable.

amen to that, nothing more dangerous than an unpredictable worn out lsd. it sucks. locker ftw.
