Default So who likes their 4:1 center diff?

It seems like a sweet deal. FYI I worked with that exact center diff before and to adjust the bias on them all you need are different side shims on the center main gear. I don't know the exact shim size to make it 4:1 but I know thats all it takes. We used a torsen diff for the rear of our Formula SAE car. you can see the cage for the torsen in the lower left pictures.

*edit the main gear not the 3 planetaries<ul><li><a href="http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~formula/photo2004build.htm">http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~formula/photo2004build.htm</a</li></ul>

Default I love mine!!! In the wet it's even more fun. We may be hooking up

before X-mas for brews downtown or something. But if you want...you can take my car for a spin if you want. Or you can make the 45min. trek up to my house on the 17th as I'll be doing work on Gene's car all day and you can take it for a spin then also. Let me know!
