kpr Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 weld diff, will be sweet. those gearboxes are pretty easy to get the diff out of also stand back about 5m when taking pictures, looked so much better from a distance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I know right! I know a few people had been interested in it, so I thought I'd document it's failures and what not for everyone to lol/sigh at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Beach would be pretty choice for it. Would be the flashest guy down there yeah? Probably. I haven't seen the rastafarians doing beach skids in their mx5 this year. Keen to take it down the long beach and get it doing 100kph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 If it's understeering already. I'm under the impression, a locked diff makes it harder to turn the front (unless the wheels are spinning)? Just keep the wheels spinning I suppose then! Or get a 2nd diff and experiment! I hope I finish my death trap soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyfive Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yeah, I can't be certain if a locked diff would be a merit or not in this thing. There's other stuff that needs attention first anyway..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I watched a movie or TV show ~20 years ago that had dudes hooning around on dune buggies. There were 2 types, 1 for the good guys and one for the bad guys. One of them was an open frame, and the other was more closed in. Thing the closed in one was mainly white. Anyone happen to know WTF i'm thinking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sidewinder had motor to one side of seat, and fuel on other. Now this has fuel on one side and battery on the other. And motor etc behind as we know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
