Sweet deal, is it really a noticable difference?

mxracerbrian

yeah he told me today that it was a huge difference! im thinkin tomorrow night after school we be burnin the rubber off his tirez
lol

paarman97maro

haha.. yeah its definitly noticible. Right when I drove it, the shifting is a lot better... It used to dump off from like 5k to 1.5 so it would just bog like a ****** from 3rd to 4th, and I hated it. Its at a much better curve now when it drops, not nearly as low. Id say it accelerates like hell, but my speedo is off... I dunno how far off, but it looks like I get 0-60 in like 6 seconds lol. So, its goin up quick, but it is a little off. It does accelerate faster though.

The thing I like most is the posi... I really didnt notice it until I got home to my apt and was going uphil and my whole backend just whipped out. Now when I give it some gas, I can really feel both tires grab, its really noticible. Feels like it actually has a pair of nuts now. haha Its a blast just being able to break out the tires whenever I want... I was heading back to work after my break and I just floored it at about 25ish and by the time it got to 5 grand I lost traction and the backend started sliding out hhaha.. I dunno its just way sweeter, its like a whole new car. defnitily worth what I paid.

btw, the I cant hear the rear end sound anymore... I dunno, maybe it was just still getting set in.

I may have to look into getting something like that, sounds like fun.

FamousZ

Thats badass Justin! Can't wait to see the car this summer..

damn im actually jealous. i always wanted to do gears and an LSD in carmen, but never did. i finally got the gearing i wanted plus an LSD when i got me a V8, but the extra power makes it hard to tell if gears help accelerating. i never got to experience the benefit of gearing/dif.

paarman97maro

yeah it probably sounds pathetic to you v8 guys, but having 1 wheel spin was like running with one leg lol.

Just seems like I gave her more power, but I didnt. Just got more to the ground in essence. I have yet to launch it from a stop though. Possibly tomorrow.

NoRiceInside

yeah i understand. it actually helps get the RPM up quicker, thus putting you into a better powerband. thats technically what it does. but the result is your car accelerates quicker.

and i know the one tire fires. i remember in my lil 3.4 i was lucky to have enough power to spin ONE wheel...let alone two. lol.

ITSA6

agreed it sucks with the one wheel wonder although this little 3.4 needs a new tire....yes one haha oh well congrats paar

I'm not sure what you're getting tuned, but you will need your speedometer adjusted for the 3.42s, as well as your A4 transmission shift points.

sweeeet paar

TorqueDog

And you don't go from 7.4 second 0-60 MPH times to 6 seconds with gears and LSD. Remember, your speedometer is out until you get it tuned, your displayed speed will be faster than you are actually traveling until you do so.

2Poor4Z

ah this is one of the things i loved about my car.. it is very very nice..

warning!! BE CAREFUL THE FIRST SET OF DONUTS YOU DO!! haha because with the lsd.. when it cuts loose, its gone.. its such a huge difference

paarman97maro

thats what i ****** said idiot lol. I said it LOOKS like im going 0-60 in 6 seconds because my speedo is off. You canadians have half your brain frozen sometimes

I realize that gears arent turning my car into a ferarri buddy

and yes, Im getting the speedo and shift points tuned.
