Fabia mk1 1.8T RWD

In short, very good.

I've had a Quaife and I'd go for the Wavetrac everytime having since seen the difference. Hence I bought this.

The Wavetrac is a little bit more money when new, but let's face it, building a great car and then saving £100 on the LSD makes no sense.

I'd be happy to do you a sensible price because I'd love to see it in a 1.8 mk1 Fabia.

Thanks for the insight ther because i have had neither so only know what i read. You will have to PM me what you looking for Richard and go from there. Its the only thing really letting the car down at the moment so it would definitely be a step in the right direction

Essentially the difference is how they react when you unload one wheel, like bumping over a curb and it's in the air.

Most LSDs will send all the power to the unloaded wheel because zero traction multiplied any number is still zero.  They need ground contact to work correctly.

The Wavetrac doesn't work like that and still provides forward momentum.

Exactly, there's no pressure so I just do it when I can and feel like it!

Yeah I was lucky to be honest I'd struggle to use it as a daily 1 issue is insurance costs at 17 and the other is sod all refinement!

when i was living at my mums i was able to spin a few cars around, good as i had the citigo daily and a petrol fabia or two which i was fixing up in the evenings. but when i moved out the lack of space, and the inherent fact the landlord was a bit sceptical about me doing it has meant i cant unless i rush the work while he is away (travels alot with work)

 

edit, enough off topic!

 

 

Ben, since its been mapped, how has it been on the road? how is it to drive?
