what can cause this to happen, ''crack diff''?
also off topic but rock, how are you liking LSD?
does it help with street dig launches?
and which LSD did you go for?
thanks

Given, it's an expensive piece but VERY IMPORTANT FOR STREET LAUNCHES.
Without LSD, only one wheel spins when you lose traction, and you ALWAYS loose traction with that much power.
Quaife, Quaife, Quaife. Just a very reliable company, they make excellent diffs and have been doing so forever. Of course there are also a lot of other great diff manufacturers out there, so go with what you can get easily.

Quaife is 0-100% variable LSD - thats why its so popular.
The more differential spin you get the more it locks up ... also comes with lifetime guarantee... dunno what more you could want from an LSD.
I still need to get one ....
