LSD for road
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi!

I want to fit a LSD in my Mini which is used as a weekend warrior. I am afraid of going to the full race LSD versions because I don't want my hands fall off in the evening after a 150 miles trip in the Austrian mountains. Any recommendations and experiences regarding "road use LSD"?? Maybe a Quaife or Evolution Road use LSD?

Cheers, Harry

I've got a tran-x lsd in my mini, but not used it yet on the road. but from what mark tells me, I'd better got to the gym before taking mine on the road

I have a Tran-X LSD set to 45lb, no problem for road use.

I've set mine to 60lbls, do you think thats too much phil? why did you pick 45?

Team Racing

parkings a bit of a twat , lsd has a bit of a mind of its own tends to wonder a bit with white lines and road camber etc , but nothing too bad .full boost in a build up area with parked cars on both sides on the road is fun , cos you don`t which one your going to hit first.lol.
but mine is a salisbury set at about 80lbs.

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

AT the MSC homepage I saw there are 3 types of Trannex (Evolution) LSD: Road, Rally, Race: All are set to 55lb as preload, but they have different ramps (55/45/35?). I guess you have the full race LSD? Anyone using a Quaife?

No happy Quaife users on this forum?? Anyone?

I think that there are no quaife users at all Harry!

If i was to be in the market for an LSD tomorrow, i'd buy a quaife... If i'm not mistaken, it's also a quaife fitted to the latest Ford Focus RS? For an OEM to use one, it must be good for a road / trackday car

I have heard similar stuff about the VW VR6. It is also a performance OEM FWD car with this kind of diff. I think I will buy this LSD.

By the way - I followed your tip and adjusted my corner weights and reduced the KPO on my front rims by removing 5mm inside of the rims - and my torque steer problem is greatly reduced!! Thanks again Dave! (and a lot of fun to all 7x13 large offset rim users. )
