All this is going into a second carrier so if I dont like it, I can swap it real easy
You've been out to Mineral Wells before? I just moved here, haven't even done the Sisters yet. |
I got ya. 1.5 can be a bit tricky to get used to for drifting, but an interesting thought: A lot of the guys who run Meihan circuit, including Naoki Nakamura, use a 1.5 way diff. I've drive on a 1.5 way a few times and it's a bit funky off throttle, but if you just kick the clutch on transition, you can negate most of the issue when you're learning.
I went to Mineral Wells a bunch. It's huge. The far side of the lot is pretty rough and can eat tires, especially when you're doing higher speed courses. I went one time in my FRS and was doing 4th gear entries with my rear tires aired to 50psi cold. They lasted like 6 or 7 runs before they were getting ready to cord.
