Greetings from Dusseldorf, The Quaife LSD is very well proven, on the road the differences are not so apparent but on the track you'll notice the front pushing more and understeering. The general rule is to loosen the front up and thats done in combination with the geo, suspension and ARB settings, you can dial a lot of the understeer out though. The big difference is traction out of corners especially, and the improvement in grip the LSD really allows you to push harder, coupled with a Racelogic Traction control kit the two combined gives you greater confidence. A geo similiar to the Exige S is the closest proven set up, but with 17" it'll be quite a handful :D Quaife make nice kit. Guten Nacht. Cheers Ian

Looks great. I'm starting to think gold wheels could be an option?

@craggers:

I'm sorry for correcting you, but as the title says it's Le Mans green, not british racing green, although it might look very similar on photos. In reality there's quite a difference!


apologies... me getting carried away and not reading the thread properly... either way, still looks good :)

Thanks! B) Good to know you all like that gold'n green style! It's something totally different, apart from all the other colour matchings like red/black, orange/black and so on. @Ian: So what about drifting?! rallly Is it more controlable? That was my first intention getting a LSD. Cheers, Thomas

For all the people who always wanted to know how a Larini exhaust sounds in real life... :rolleyes:



Is that a full Larini system ? It sounds stunning !

No, it's not a full system, just the backbox is from Larini (Moto Concept). And another primary de-cat down pipe. Main catalytic section is still stock, but I'd like to have it from Larini! It should sound awesome then! But I heard Larini won't do anymore group-buys, what a pity! :(

It should sound like that! That's why all the people always say, buy a Larini! You never would want another backbox. It's a very racy sound, not like many others just loud and deep. It has a very special note! :wub:

Last weekend a friend of mine came with me to the track and tried his new HD-camera...

He was so nice to make a little video from my tubby! thumbsup

Descriptions are in german, but most of it is easy to understand... :rolleyes:

So enjoy! :)
