Supraguy Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Just curious if anyone else experiences this. I have the factory fitted LSD on my car. When I do drag style pulls and experience wheelspin, it always pulls my rear end out to the right. Is there any particular reason it goes out the exact same way most of the time? Also, does it mean the LSD could be faulty? I read the factory LSD's are nearly indestructible, but I just cant figure why my car pulls to the one side. Its not off the line wheelspin, it does the same through 1st and 2nd gear on 2nd turbo at 1.3bar pulls. Tyres are brand new 275/35/19 Eagle F1s. I already have RLTC waiting to get installed, I am just curious if there is another underlying problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Might not be related, but when I was trying to manouver at low speed on the snow and ice recently, I noticed that my car always slid to the right (sometimes directly to the right if I was on an incline. I have an LSD as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy the current issue of whatever the mag that replaced car and Car Conversions is now called it has quite a good article on LSDs. which should explain the phenomena. I read it whilst waiting at a friends place the other day. It's not a bad read, I think they are trying hard to get the thing selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Could it be "Retro Cars"? I bought it last month and thought it was pretty good, halfway through I was thinking how similar it was to C&CC. Lets hope they do as well with it as The Performance Car boys did with Evo, cos it's a much better mag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 "Track and Race Cars" is the one Chris means I think. I bought it this month, it's pretty good. I don't know if it's the same people that did C&CC, but it's pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Got to remember most roads are cambered so that water runs off them. The car whilst spinning wheels will want to travel down the camber to the side of the road. Also non-even tyre pressures will cause a difference in traction on either wheel.

Ian R Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Seem to remember someone telling me LSD doesn't kick in until around 10-15 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 True about the gradient on the roads. But if this were the case we drive on the left side of the road, and the water would naturally run to the left to stop water from pooling the the center of streets. So the car should drift left, but mine always seems to go right. Gotta check tyre pressures tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by Ian R Seem to remember someone telling me LSD doesn't kick in until around 10-15 mph That would make sense when i'm reversing up a slight grassy incline at my house which usual results me spinning one wheel in reverse. putting it in snow normally helps it though.
