Did you get the LSD fitted? - Let us know how you get on?
LSD - Limited Slip Differential
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.

Close your eyes.....and think of England Boys.....................I think he's got the diff fitted !!!!!!.don’t look
Terry the reputation that you've now got is going to take a little bit of living down, mate....
might just come and watch though !!!! (word of warning if you start with the PSM off…..you could get dizzy…)
Great day on Saturday. Unbelievably there were circa 100 cars out - compared to the 40 or so when we met two weeks ago. Initially I thought it would be horrible but it worked out ok. Some very interesting cars - from ariel atoms to new GT3RS's. Managed to stay on track this week and didnt pick mushrooms during the whole day. By all accounts the car was superb (seems to get better by the day). Sadly had to retire early (3pm) since my front tyres wore down to the reinforcement fabric...after just 3 track days! I really need to see if I can get more camber up front. Rears are just fine. Hitched a ride in anew GT3RS which was simply superb. I may turn to crime in order to get one. Sublime experience - effortless around the track and the sound is just out of this world. Would probably go for the standard GT3 though - creature comforts and sensible color options reqd.
I still havent had the diff installed - seems like all the workshops have been busy and booked up 3 weeks ahead. Car goes into Parr this week..
Bedford has now opened the new section on the GT circuit which provides a whopping 4.2miles. Most of us that were out on saturday (that I spoke to) are not overly keen. Its an awkward series of hairpins and short-ish straights that dont seem to flow. Time will tell. The cayman out-gunned some quite serious machinery this weekend - bettered only by the GT3/RS and Noble (which eventually caught fire). Exige S, Aston Vantage, Ariel Atom, Caterhams, Carrera S - all munched on the day. What a machine....
Sounds like a great day, again. Been very lucky with the weather, heh?
Allan has camber plates available. Won't they give you more of what you need?
Plus, I'm no expert, but running 295s instead of 265s at the back is going to make the nose push on a lot more than that car was set-up for. Ask the Parr guys what they think of that set-up. Surely they would know..........
We used the new Bedford GT layout with Lotus on Track on Good Friday. The general consensus of opinion is that the new layout is not as good as the old one. They have taken away one of the most challenging corners on the circuit (double apex right hand onto the straight behind the pits) and replaced it with a simple right hander and a couple of tight hairpins and a short straight. The first hairpin is very bumpy at the the exit too. I'd like to think that if enough people comment on the new layout, they may switch back to the old one...
Jack, I dont think the 295's on the back have much to do with it. The 996 GT3 amongst other's uses 235 up front with 295's out back. Some of it is my driving style (very late aggressive braking / turn in) along with abscence of camber. I may well speak to Allan about the camber plates. As for the track - agree with Kurand above. Will keep you posted on the camber issue..

like to of gone , but now got to work.
