haha liking the video!

Nice bit of sideways driving there by V6 Man! :wink: 360s have so much traction from standstill!

well foggy i have 2 lsd's......1 COULD be for sale !!
1 is clutch type,other is a powerlock. powerlock's are the best as it works as a normal diff in normal conditions untill you dump the clutch or power slide and it locks in giving drive to both wheels leaving 2 big tyre marks instead of 1. my personal thoughts anyway.

had an argument the other day with a 4x4 freak-he didnt like it when i explained his 4x4 isnt 4 wheel drive only 2 !! he couldnt get his head around it :mrgreen:


360's have loads of grip because they are perfectly balanced,with the gearbox and saddle bag tank over back wheels it gets a hold well. maybe this is why when tuned they snap/break everthing.

Janitor dude,

Thinking about it, I'm seriously interested in buying both. Reply, send me an email (the link is below all of my posts), or add me to your MSN list so we can have a chat about it :)
