Anyone know if these have lsd?
Cheers, Mark. |
..and why we are on the subject what does "LIVE REAR AXLE"?
|
No they don't have an lsd all they do is spin the inside rear wheel unless you are brutal with them :( I don't rate the low speed handling on them having driven one a few times.
|
That I can answer...
Live rear axle = beam axle, wheel at either end, whole axle is sprung / moving, drive is within the axle. as is the diff. Independant rear suspension = no axle, each wheel is attached to suspension, (and driveshafts), diff is mounted on the car, wheels go up and down independantly. IRS = less unsprung weight = better ride, particularly over rough surfaces. (In very simplistic terms. It's not really as cut'n'dried as all that...) - Mark.

Mx5 1.8iS has a LSD as standard I think, the std 1.8 and 1.6's dont As for the elise I never had any trouble with inside rears spinning, I ran 225's and LSS and the thing was glued to the road in the dry. (not so much fun in the wet mind) Rgds Neil |
Problem is ya can't do donuts very well without an LSD :D:rolleyes::D
Seriously, I'm wanting something that's fluid, fun, and most of all INVOLVING to drive, not necessarily stupidly fast. I don't need (in fact, I'd rather not have) massive levels of grip. I like driving in the wet 'cos it's slippery :) Tried westfields, too civilised. Was expecting something more akin to a racing car... Considered a classic, but it's a lot of money for an old car, don't have a garage, and fancy something I can just drive. (capable mechanic, but hate having to do it...) - Mark. |

If a Westy is to civilised, then an elise will seem like a Rolls Royce !!!! Rgds Neil |
Sempers, how about a Porsche 944 or 968?
Edited to say E30 M3 too! They don't make em like they used to! [Edited by davyboy - 6/17/2003 7:39:29 PM] |
You can fit an LSD gearbox to an Elise quite easily/cheaply
