Psychological you think? I don't see how a car could be quicker taking off with a new clutch unless there were already clutch slipping issues, in which case you'd already know about them!

Light weight flywheel. Im told it gives you a few extra hp down low, alot of race cars use them.
 
Barry my front lsd is an kbx torsen.
Perhaps we should move lsd and ckutch talk to a new thread?

The ad says:


"Subaru WRX R160 rear diff. This is fitted with a Cusco plate type limited slip centre.

Was bought as a spare for our 1998 STi rally Car but never fitted.


No longer required.


It is located on the Gold Coast."

Sounds good, although the plate type need on-going adjustment, iirc.

Still, much better than standard!

with 5 days to go, its up to $200.

Think I'll look for a viscous lsd somehow.

Yeah don't do it mate. I got caught doing s**t like that in high school.
Us IT people see everything, you would be suprised some of the stuff its possible to find out.
Plus the last thing you want is to loose your job:raspberry:
 
Yep, bosses would love an excuse to shoot the union Delegate - and 'computer miss-use' carries all sorts of 'inferences', including 'NSFW'.

R230 Diff in a Gen3 Liberty rear subframe. There is an ARB locker available for the IRS R230 diff. It'd probably be easier to stick something like this in your car, the only problem is its not a universal solution as pretty much every generation of subaru probably has a different subframe/driveshaft/tailshaft.

Good find Venom - the hardest part would be finding the shafts I reckon! And personally I wouldn't buy an ARB locker - they're not called "air leakers" for nothing, plus to save on money (read keep profit up) parts are now plastic such as the piston that moves to engage the locker!

I'm still keen to see the R160 manual locker become a reality... Just have to be patient I reckon!

PS - what's that diff found in anyway? Commodores? :p
