Re: LSD effect on torque steer
Indeed.
And all it is is basically a thick shaft that runs straight out of the diff parallel to the ground and then is held on the engine at the other end (where the drive shaft goes) by a bracket.
The intermediate shaft diff side:

Yes Diamante.
Does the Galant VR4 have equal length driveshafts too perhaps?
Or maybe Evo 6 etc have them too.

Richard batty doesn't have intermediate shafts and his is 1000hp or something. He just responded to my question on Facebook.

Wasn't aware they made one, got a link to it? Whiteline is pretty reputable though, I have their swaybars front and rear.mongoose_dog wrote:Is the Whiteline H brace OK?

That's an Ultra Racing brace and they are meant to be decent and make a noticeable difference according to some members who've fitted it

Re: LSD effect on torque steer
The build quality sucks on them though. Just ask Bennoz. :lol:

Yeah Ultra Racing stuff is all welded up in Malaysia. Very 'moist' over there...
If you can, try source a Cusco (Version 2) - 540 476A

Re: LSD effect on torque steer
Is Richard really running normal shafts? No intermediate shaft?
I'm sure it cant be too hard to mock one up for the FTO, especially if a magna has one; being pretty similar.
I am actually going to look into this in a few weeks as I'm doing my 6a13tt build. At least get equally weighted shafts or such

Re: LSD effect on torque steer
Eh, I wouldn't do it personally.
Half the fun in owning a turbo FWD is controlling the torque steer.

This ^^^
Watching the look on all the other drivers faces while you paint 2 black lines across 3 lanes of a freeway at 100kph is the best part!

Re: LSD effect on torque steer
FTOAustralia club president seems to have a misguided perception of good and bad.
TBH I think a well built car must drive really well and going across 3 lanes (presumably unintentionally) seems like something needs a bit more attention.
I support this idea and would really like to see it go ahead

Re: LSD effect on torque steer
But really, the torque steer isn't that bad. I can still keep it in a lane fairly easily.
As has been said. Harden up.
