well lockers have no give, the main thing with a diff is when you corner one wheel spins faster than the other so the diff has to allow for this, lovckers and really tight lsd's don't and you'll get a bit of wheel skipping, which with a locker is more pronounced the skipping is basically the wheel trying to match the speed but fasiling, twisting the axle, and then the axle saying no more twist and it skips to untwist a bit..

and lsd doesn'ty cause the axle to twist, well as much anyway, so there nicer on driveline bits..

lockers are tops for direct hookup tho, which is why you'll find drags cars run spools, which is basically a locker, and a lot of RWD racing cars run them..

paulie not yet *touch wood* if i drove the car every day id say i would have by now, rex acxles arn't very big..

luckily every car ive driven witha locker is mainly a track toy so it doesn't see the normal sort of loads a daily car would, lots of car parks would bust axles fairly regurally id guess.

Aidwin - yeah they are really cool guys become friends with them over PAS .... they want me to come down to Willeton to visit when ive got my car back :D

haha i was tired .... it was funny cos this morning paul's muttering woke me up but i thought i was home and it was my mum saying something to me so i go "yeah right whatever" then open my eyes and took a while to figure out where i was

what tha? NO but she'll normally open my bedroom door in the morning and say something like "im going to work see you tonight" orrr "can you remember to put the bins out" or something like that. Thats what i tohught it was!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
