Hydratrak LSD

[DaveyLC]

I suppose the difference is I bought the ZT for weekend blasts and grin-factor not for driving to work/the shops so the whole 'being better for the road and parking' just doesnt cut the mustard for me

I'm ITCHING for a supercharger now!

I find Caterhams, Dax and Westfields pointless.. If I wanted to get wet and cold I'd just go out on my motorbike and get there quicker!

The Carteham is Fantastic for Drifting

Theres a good article in this months redline magazine about the different types of diff's

There's a big difference between individual cars,my ZTT is very planted and quite hard to unstick in the dry and not at all tail happy in the wet.However I drove a Mk 1 ZT no. 038 I think and this was a total drift machine,any sort of right foot abuse would easily unstick it in the dry,just so different to mine.(both cars on OE Contis at the time)

It is the extra weight of the estate. (also for me a full sized spare wheel and tools and Kitchen sink)

On the track it is better than the saloon (My opinon)

The hydrotrack is a very good road diff. There seems to be a bit of confusion on how and what is is designed to do. It works by adjusting the torque between both wheels. It needs to see one wheel slip before it can work as the slip on one wheel causes the pump in the diff to transfer the torque to the slower moving wheel. The tyre make has an effect on the action. Regard the hydrotrak as a softer version off a locking diff. My little red car has a mechanical locking diff and it is not good when you are turning out of junctions you can feel it lock up and try to wind up the suspension, when you try to park between two cars in a tight space you can feel the car not liking it. It is very easy to leave TWO black marks on the road with the hydrotrak once it has started to move.

thankyou for the explanation Brian

LOL, was wondering why mine was taking a bit of persuasion to slide out recently. Must have been the spare wheel in the boot.

(And all the other crap!)

It will sound strange but it seems to be getting better! The harder I drive the car the better the LSD seems to lock up. Maybe its had such an easy life until to know it didnt know how to work! lol
