Basically, you know how with your current car, when cornering (especially in slippery conditions) if you nail it mid bend, you'll probably find you get wheel spin from 1 wheel (the wheel with least grip), which makes you understeer outwards on the bend :| | |

A S1 RST box has a ferguson lsd, Ricardo MTC can uprate them from the std 20nm to 40/60/80nm and possibly even 100nm, maybe the stage 2 means its uprated to 60nm? | |

quote: for exmple for an escort rs turbo we do the following: Stage 1: casing machined, bigger bearings fitted, rebuilt gearbox and rebuild standard limited slip diff £550+vat Stage 2: as above but replacing std diff with Quaiffe ATB £1000+vat Stage 3: as above but with shot peaned gear kit £1200+vat depends what company it is doing the work, there is no set stage 1 2 or 3, same with cylinder heads, people say they have a stage 280398 cylinder head, means nothing unless you know who dod the work. | |

Its more down to traction than power, but they do make quite a big difference. | |

well on a standard corsa gearbox one wheel will spin (goes for path of least resistance) with a LSD it transfers the power evenly, better cornering etc | |

Just seen Paul_J for sale thread and was wondering if somebody could quickly explain an LSD box? |
