what would be a better use of my money?

[wicked-vtr]

Hi guys, basically I'm trying to decide what to buy next for the saxo, either a quaffile diff or a set of sandy brown gsxr boddies.

I find the car can wheespin coming out of corners quite a lot despite my decent suspension and tires, this is with a vts gearbox fitted. I'm currently rebuilding a 1.4xsi box, I'm worried it will just spin all the power away with the shorter box.
But on the other hand I want some bodies for the bwarrrrppp lol. I doubt I will see a massive increase in power or torque due to my cams not being particularly aggressive (piper bp285)

Where would you be splashing the cash? I can't afford both at the moment, so its going to be one or the other, at least for now.

If it was me mate3, id go for the bodies just for the noise :D

I'd probably put my money into bodies if it is to remain a road car.

Or go quaife if you're going on track with it

[vtrxstickens]

bodies first mate :)

[wicked-vtr]

It's my daily, but it will probably end up going on track, I never meant to build a track car, just got a bit carried away with it lol.

Ross how did you find your saxo coped without a diff? Mine is very similar to how yours was, why would you not fit a LSD to a road car?

The bodies will make a VERY noticable difference. They will resolve any idle issues your car has, sort out the low-rev stumbling, and it will sound and go awesome.

A Diff will stop wheelspin on corner exit. Just use a touch less throttle, other than that the bodies are much better bang for bucks!!! :)

Id go for the diff mate as it will help you put the power down , whats the point going for more power is your struggling to use the power you already have .

...because you only struggle to put the power down under a very tiny amount of the whole driving experience. Only on lock, and only up to 2nd gear.

All the rest of the time, 2nd gear straight line, 3rd/4th/5th you won't be wheelspinning.

A diff also doesn't just STOP wheelspin, it reduces it, so you are talking about removing a percentage of the wheelspin in a very specific area of driving.

Diff's don't sound like bodies either!!

+ 1 on this.

diff = win but itb's = MEGA WIN!

Andy is yoda :homme:

Just lower your tyre pressure and be less heavy footed and go for the bodies.

Cheers for the replies lads, I think some freah sticky rubber and more easing the power on will help. Andy looks like il be seeing you for a remap soon enough ;)
