LSD's?

[Garageaholic]

Mike, a nice upgrade for you would be a 3.25 LSD. you'd get much better acceleration without sacrificing much top speed.

And your car is not a super eta.

First off your car is not a super eta. that was only offered in 88. You have a 2.93 gear lsd.

Pros: Both rear wheels will get the same amount of power so not one will slip, even if one is on ice and one is on dry pavement, you will go no prob.
An lsd will allow both wheels to spin like say when you do a donut, you will acctually do a donut without the outer wheel spinning and the inner one doing nothing.

I have not driven my car enough to tell you how an lsd compairs to open with hard driving but my friends e36 m3 has an lsd and it feels great with it. You will not get worse gas mileage with the lsd.

my bad. and thank you.

and mike, thanks about the lsd. and my bad about the super eta, we compared the pickup and stuff to my buddies 85 325e and my was progressively quicker. we didnt know, but we do now.

anyways, that makes sense.

i just have a few questions that i would like to know the answers too.

i have never had a car without an lsd, though my e30 is the first car i owned with rear wheel drive. and a manual, so i am wondering what it is like to aggressively drive an e30 without an lsd? does the car pull to one side hardr as you enter a turn, or does it feel as though the one half of the car wants to not go throught the turn. what type of lsd do i have in my e30. it is a super eta.

and besides the obvious, what are the pluses and minuses of having an lsd? does an lsd get worse gas mileage, wear faster, etc?

thanks.
