and LSD isnt actually essential, your not going to be driving on gravel all the time or loose ground are you? LSD is mainly for rally motors, because as there is less traction the LSD reads that one wheel is spinning faster than the other and converts the torque evenly

Are you saying traction isn't a prob in LET corsa's Venom? A LSD would help greatly I would have thought, they help in any situation that the wheels would be spinning.....

no im not saying its not a problem, but an LSD wont help massively unless your on loose ground, it would help yes but the car(at high acceleration) will still be a little unsturdy

It will. It will work wonders in any situation that the wheels spin in, generally through corners, I imagin thats quite regular in anything FWD with a LET, especially in the wet.

I'm putting a xe on TB's in DannyJ's corsa in 5weeks.
The engine cost 370
He's got the TB's already on his 1.4,
and the mounts were 110 from Mr.L Mitchell.
Goub hubs and shafts for 30 and machining and new bearings will be abotu £90.
Should see abotu 190BHP from it, then it's off to have a full race system like my nova.
