Holy moly: Those are nice times, someone should just strip all of the interior out and see what time they get.

Would love to see pics...

What engine is that?

You'll find a lot of doubt on here till theres evidence... something like that would be hard to go unnoticed by us... Mind you Adz did it for ages.

Went to a Test and Tune at willowbank last night, could only manage a 15.64 at 91mph.

GPvR manual.

Nothing removed. more than 3/4 of a tank of fuel (it was a last minute decision).

Mods:
K&n panel filter, HKS exhaust.

I don't think my clutch was helping me at all, I'll be upgrading it one day. At least I'm going to blame it on the clutch :wink:

Although I did manage to get it off the line well on the last run, but managed to catch the rev limiter in 1st, stuffed my terminal speed.

I've got some videos and stuff I might try to get up tomorrow, including the limoter hitting run.

Oh, yeah. And no torque steer, despite only being able to reach the bottom of the wheel (see the head room topic). Gotta love the LSD! :roll: :lol:

Slap a hairdryer and you get plenty of torque steer :twisted: been in a turbo FTO with LSD and Semi slick tyres on, only good on straight and shocking at corners.

yes it is! i got a 14.9 with the same mods! and just the spare removed... changing at 7.5k...
might just be the clutch as you said... i had a dyno run with a slipping clutch once and only got about 60hp atw :(

how can you get torque steer with an lsd? lsds naturally have that 'pull' from the outside wheel when you turn and accelerate but thats just the lsd. it was probly just crappy at corners cos he had a poor setup ;)

Thanks everyone. The more I think about it I think it is the clutch. I couldn't get it to hold it down, trying to hold it on the line at any more than 3k and it was starting to slip. Sounds like time to upgrade then. :twisted:

LOL get some power under your wheel and then you'll find out.

Even with something like the new Mazda3 MPS, its got LSD and all the state of the art control system, every review stated its got torque steer like a bit*h. And don't tell me the MPS have a poor setup. :wink:

FF will always have torque steering problem when you run some decent power at the wheels.

u said it was shocking at corners so i assumed he had a bad setup :P
[the 3 MPS's] Limited Slip Differential (LSD) automatically optimises torque split between the front wheels helping to maintain grip and traction during acceleration and fast cornering.
its got torque steer (in corners) cos the harder you turn, the more power the outside front gets. i was talkin about torque steer in a straight line before...

WTF are you smoking something? :lol:

I said LSD won't help torque steer at corners, and you said, its because poor setup, now you said you been refering to straight line. You even quote the problem of MPS with LSD, which proven my point.

Its must be my chingrish, i'm so lost what you try to say. :lol:

Anyway forget it, no point talking about it. Most FTO here won't have enough power at the wheel to have this problem.
