Back on topic for a change....

Has anyone ever done the conversion? Has anyone done a SIMILAR conversion? Has anyone ever tested two cars where, all else being equal, one had LSD, the other did not?

Please, i'd really like to know because i'm sick of internet mechanics and people saying they can do a time in a stock car that is impossible!

The guy asked a question and he got laughed at. One guy wrote a response and the next 10 were exactly the same, how about contributing something worthwhile for a change!

Listen to what "String" had to say, he seems to know what he is talking about. Year 12 physics doesn't mean you know all the science behind a car, there is much more to learn and "String" seems to have done the research

final drive is different, ill try and find the gear ratios and post them to answer his question as far as the two cars having a race with same gear box and both being stock i dont know. but the vtir has a beter power to weight ratio.
but gsi wins in torque to weight ratio

also vtir has better suspension, so vtir has the extra edge on the cornering too. Well it feels like it with the gsi's and vtirs i've driven.

oh That's why you are selling your 403's ,hehe you got 402t,good luck man. my exhaust is 2.36",i'm regretting now : ( , should have got at least 2.5" then i can just put on a turbo when i feel like it without concerning the size of pipe. Just wondering anyone knows anybody set a t28 with 2.25"-2.36" pipe?
