    I'm going to palm off one of the diffs, but that won't recover much in the long term . I've already spent the money I'd saved for a new ECU (which I now don't need)... I am hopeless The car should be the ultimate, though - if it's not, I'm going to part it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sequential shifting aside, the Gemini LSD will be by far the best money spent with such power output, even if it is a bit of a bitch for road use Driving the Cyborg RS on the road was always a heap of fun

    At around $15k, you might as well go for the Quaife sequential dog box if you're speaking of the 'ultimate'

    Doesn't Quaife make a full sequential dog box? I'm imagine you'd have to be funded by a small militant group to pay for it though..
    Yeah but they're not 15K they're more like 25-30K.
    I nearly bought one second hand 2 years ago he wanted 8K wish I had've would've been the best mod ever!

    I reckon you're right! If the money were there, it'd be straight out awesome, I'm sure

    What kind of LSD is the gemini one? Is it a clutch type? I would have thought the peloquin ATB would have been sufficient. Its one of the best additions to my car. On the road its great but on the track I just couldn't believe how much grip it provided when it sends the power to the outer front when all of the weight is on it.

    I don’t think either type would be sufficient on a Mk1 pumping out 350bhp The Gemini LSD is a clutch type as you say and would make for a pig of a road car, but be far superior for an out and out track car. Personally, I’d go the Peloquin if it was for a combination of road and track use.

    Yeah maybe "sufficient" wasn't the right word. I meant a peloquin is getting close to making the most of the grip you have in a FWD. And it definitely eliminates that lighting up the inside wheel problem.

    Yep, the Gemini is a 1.5 way clutch type and I've been warned that it'll give me hell, but I do intend to try it when I get the other gearbox fixed. It was quite cheap so if it's no good I'll sell it off!
    P.S. I think within a couple of weeks, the car will have a smaller turbo on anyway... but I wanna try it like this first
