Detroit true track
lambert:
235/75/15 colway mt on the front. Older style khumo mt on the back but not for long. Will be getting 31/10.5/15 probably either colway mt or macho's as soon as brass is available.

Depends on the vehicle in question, but on some toyotas you can improve the benefit of the factory LSDs very cheaply by just shimming them? (not sure of the details) to increase the friction as they don't relativerly have much effect as standard.

so spend the money on some macho's that will get you way futher than this lsd will on mud tyres :wink:
lambert:
The taller tyres will be happening regardless.
As for more diff action i'm inclined to find a cross reference to one off some other application that will fit, then try get one from a breakers for cheap money. That is one of the joys of working in bradford is the profusity of dodgy scrap yards! :shock: :D

There was an article in joyrider monthly recently about fitting an LSD to a classic ford, but as the magazine was dedicatyed to going everywhere sideways I wasn't that impressed.
Aparently LSDs have a pre-load spring to give an initial amount of lock-up and a set of cams on the diff-pin to lock up fully under load. These 2 aspects are tuneable to taste.
Having driven a 2.8Injection special Capri, with factory LSD I'm not a fan. It's simply a choice between spinning one wheel at the traffic light grand prix and not moving very fast, or spinning both wheels and ending up facing the direction you came from. If Julie's needs an LSD (which I doubt) I'll save up for a ATB.
