Low-ish power FWD on track - LSD or not?
A standard power 205 1.9 running decent slicks, will it be worth having an LSD at all for track use?
It doesn't want to light the wheels up on the road with normal tyres, so with slicks I guess it will never have any problems coming out of corners. So do LSD's make much difference to the front end cornering grip on a FWD car?
There's a special offer on them at the moment and I can't decide what to do!
It's a Quaife LSD by the way, not a plated one!

Phil,
Stick a quaife in it now!
I cannot explain what it did for the grip on my brother's rally car! You think 205 GTis handle well now? Just wait!
By the way, let me know if there's any bits you need, as I'm breaking my 1.9 next week..........

I really need some decent bits ASAP but only uprated parts 
How good are you rear calipers?? On the rollers one of mine was 50% down to the other side but it may just need bleeding (looked like a recon caliper?)
Will have them at the right price though if they are good!!
Need some tarmac billies still and all the usual bits if you have anything uprated on it???
