Maybe someone can explain this to me...stock rear (I think) and when I turn off the traction control...it's always a treat...if you want to spin the tires and go sideways all day! Actually, it goes sideways and straight at the same time, if you know what I mean! It's like driving one of my old cars with a posi rear and plenty of power! Someone explain what I am missing here with the dif mod please!

Keep in mind that I already been to Bruce at TTM and I am quite that he look at my dif or spun the tires on the lift or something and didn't say anything about the rear being changed so we can fully assume that my rear is original.


UPDATE: I did notice the one leg spin a little today while doing a further test on this subject but most of the time it went sideways or just kept pulling and slightly leaning to one direction, the left. I do see what all of you are saying a little more now with the non true posi rears we have.

Doing burnouts is how you can really tell. I have plenty of vids at the track showing only one tire spinning. So when I launched it wouldn't hook on that side and my 60ft. suffered. After the new LSD I hit a 1.49 60ft. on my 5th run. And all burnouts are even.

Another way you can tell is one tire will wear faster than the other one. I always had that problem with my street tires. Now I burn them up even.

Not mine. If I punch it at 60mph it will break loose with the traction control still on.

Of course I'm not simple either.

Redbull is spot on.. Love the Quaiffe, SO MUCH FUN, but can still break the tires loose all the time, easily in 1st or 2nd... Great mod..

Anyone know how to identify if I have a late 03 model to match the right diff part number? What's considered late 03? Jake I need a deal on one of these!
