paulgtt Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 does anybody have a lsd fitted to an ep82, how much better does the car launch with one? im struggling to get off the line big time at the minute ;) Quote
gaz Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 i havnt its alot of money for something, but it will be alot better in the dry for sure and help the car corner too. Quote
DAN_GTT Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 You will notice a big difference with one fitted, off the line and cornering, definatly worth it if you got a spare 400-500 quid What kind of mods have you got?Mine spins up in 3rd in the wet, very annoying ;) Quote
Simon Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Well worth every penny i have a quaife in mine.Suspension plays a big part aswell what set-up have you got?Simon Quote
paulgtt Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 its standard suspension wise,its got pulsar alloys on but there identical size to the originals.its only got blitz filter on so its not much more power over standard. Quote
Ryno Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 decent Suspension set-up and a anit-lift kit would help if you don't fancy the LSD 'Money Black Hole' route! oh and decent Tyres! Quote
paulgtt Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 tyres are bridgestone potenzas. would putting bigger wheels on help? Quote
Ryno Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 not really, what size tyres you got? might be able to get away with a bit wider?!not hurd of bridgestone potenzas, you know what kind of compound they are? hard? soft? Quote
paulgtt Posted January 7, 2006 Author Posted January 7, 2006 185 55 14. very soft last bout 5k if your lucky!! Quote
potge Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I suppose you are running Bridgestone Potenza RE720 huh? If so i am surprised that you say they are soft as they are considered among the hardest at this dimension. Its also weird their duration do you spin them often? Anyway i believe you have a gt so perhaps 195/45 or 50 at 15icnhes would be better but it would be best to check your setup as the guys said first Quote
Robbo Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I've never heard of those bridgestones, maybe its worth changing them, Eagle F1s or something.anti lift plates will give you more grip, and bigger wheels with a wider tread will help too. 16/45/205 is what I have, and with the anti lift plates I get a hella lot more traction, and smoother acceleration too. anti-lift made the biggest difference, maybe worth looking into if you're tight on money. I was going to get a LSD but don't really need it now I don't think. Quote
SiCaln Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 can u get full lock with that profile? i couldnt with 215s was on 18s tho Quote
Ryno Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 i'm running 195/50/15 Toyo Proxie T1-R's, grip very well in both wet and dry!as Rob said Eagle F1s are also very good tyres! Quote

starletno1fan Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Bridgestone potenza's are very good tyres so i have heard from a few people!Yokohama A539's are very good gripping tyres, but they are on the soft side and are shite in wet! Quote
