Haha, no, Rhonda is my Lude.

And definitely noticed a difference straight away around wet roundabouts! :mrgreen: I got her to the point she would usually understeer and there was a lot more turn in, did feel like the car was twisting the back end out if you know what I mean!

ADS1, Sorry dude I thought you were saying you had 2 M2B4 Ludes and couldn't tell the difference. :lol:

With the M2B4 you wont notice the difference until one wheel spins faster than the other. It has no effect until one wheel breaks traction.

I suggested you will see the difference on track as I don't have the balls to keep my foot in on public roads (crappy surface and not enough room if things go wrong), not like I put myself in that position anyway :D . On track you might put a wheel on a wet kerb which spins the wheel up, but you are more likely to keep the power on and the LSD will sort it out for you ;)

As said the biggest benefit is on track. I didn't notice much difference between my two box's on public roads but the m2b4 box was so much better on the track. The front of the car had so much more turn in, and could keep a lot more speed around a corner as a result.

Another very welcome difference is the 5th gear is much stiffer. 70 mph used to sit at just over 4K now it's just under 3.5K. :mrgreen:

I tested 100 mph on a private road, as that used to be my Vtec engagement speed in 5th and now it engages at 112mph.
