M2B4 what should I expect?

Finally getting my M2B4, Exedy clutch and Fidanza flywheel in tomorrow. (Thanks Alex)

A few people I've spoken to have said that when they first got an LSD they nearly drove up the first round about they encountered.

What should I expect from it? Thanks guys.

Lee.

A knackered chin spoiler?




Sorry. No idea. Let us know though - I'd be interested. :)

First time I jumped in an M2B4 lude I noticed it felt different, less torque steer when booting it on a bend etc. It's noticeable but not a dramatic difference, if you know what I mean.

I still notice a difference between the 2 gearboxes when I swap from one to the other, but certainly not in a way that'll make you end up on a roundabout in one, when you weren't expecting to.

You wont really notice much under normal driving conditions.

Doggo: Haha! I've not fitted mine yet!

Wurly: Cheers. That's something I'll be glad of! :)

Merlin: What are normal driving conditions? :mrgreen:

ADS1: I'm detecting sarcasm! :)

I've just walked passed the garage, Rhonda's arse is in the air! All excited now! :D

Touche!

Ok, you are unlikely to notice the difference anywhere apart from on a racetrack. I have driven a few cars with the M2B4 in it and didn't notice a thing different (but I wasn't ragging it ;))

Yeah it's not like the difference between 4WS and non-4WS. The most obvious time you'll notice it is putting the power down on hills that bear up around corners. Where as previously you may have got a fair amount of wheel-hop (especially in the wet).

I noticed less wheel hop with the M2B4 vs a box with an open diff.
