From a technical question to wanking in 11 posts - is that a record?

You haven't lived!

If you want some life enhancers come round!

In regards to the diff.

When I was doing my propshaft and the rear was off the ground. I could spin one wheel and the other would spin in the opposite direction

Dembo

Was that with the propshaft disconnected?

I'm sure when I've done the same on mine the other wheel didn't move, which surprised me. Made me wonder if the brakes were sticking.

I was always told if you turn one wheel and the other rotates in the opposite direction you have an open diff. If you turn one wheel and the other rotates in the same direction you have an LSD. And if you turn one wheel and the car rotates, you're on LSD.

Torsen acts as an open diff without load , one wheel turned one way the other will rotate opposite direction. Mine does this .

Sticky calliper and other friction will affect this and may. Result in some slightly left of field behaviour from the wheels .

Torsen diff has been touted as a con tributary factor to slightly odd rear end S2000 behaviour. , not sure my self , more likely right foot

Mine certainly works slow spoked with lots of lock applied , wheels scrabbling to stay with each other and one or both trying to break traction

So if I understand correctly with no load Dembo's car behaves as mine and the other wheel not affected but everyone else will spin in the opposite direction????


I know Dembo isn't slow in his so sounds like I don't need to worry (Dembo we are unique )

Everything I've read has had people moaning about how twitchy the rear end is on an s2000..

I dont get it? It's got tonnes of grip, try driving an m3 and then tell me how twitchy an s2000 really is...

People are stupid.

Yes but i think its also down to younger people with no rwd experience being able to pick a cheap s2k up and insure it. They try and drive it like their fwd fiesta and guess what? Sudden bush/ lamppost/ kerb / small child appeared.

I have always thought that a power output cap on license types should be used. Much like motorbikes
