Disabling E-LSD??

[imported_mega]

right, and then I have no stability control

a true lsd fixes all of that

Using a little less gas fixes it.... In reality using DTC and restricted DSC mode will give you the "get safely out of a junction when I apply too much gas" scenario you're looking for.

using a lsd would fix it properly

using less gas is not a valid solution for a sports car, if I was interested in that I would drive my jeep

This car seems to be spinning both tires on launch because of the E-diff

[imported_mega]

looked like it only spun the drivers side, and that's a straight launch, I never really have any problem with straight launch

it's right or left turn's that this car cant seem to do without spinning and triggering traction control

a lsd would fix this, my m3 never had these kinda problems, and it's got one, hell my f150 will beat my 135i and that thing has a light ass, but it's got an lsd so gravel covered corners are no problem at all

smoke is coming out of both tires

[imported_mega]

obviously it does not matter

I feel exactly the same. Straight lines are not the real problem... turning is, even with all systems off.

it sure seems like your complaints about the ediff are a bit dramatic... wah wha wah... what if I want to do a burnout launch around a corner... I am only going to spin one tire...

I don't want to do a burnout, that is the entire point, do you even read what we are saying?

if you dont like lsd threads, don't read them

[ronnyek]

well you know your options... bitching about it aint going to fix your burnout prob... deal with it, or buy a real lsd.

Why are you commenting on a thread that is of no interest to you? You don't like the subject? Go talk where you can be helpful or meaningful. You come here and talk sh** to us like you think we're stupid. Are you don't get people like you. No girlfriend? No friends? Tired of masturbating? I can see why.

I really don't care about people adding CF trim in their car, changing light bulbs or adding 19in wheels that weight more the OEM... but I'm not talking sh** in their threads because it's their choice and I have much better things to do.

Get a life.

I'm not saying that you can't do it, but it ain't as smooth as I would have thought. You can see it from the video that you have to push it real hard and that it's hard to maintain.

I'm actually just trying to figure out when the e-LSD comes into play and when not. And also how it actually affect drifting. Nobody really seams to know the answer.

Before my 135 and STI, I had an IS300 with LSD and drifting was much easier (even with 215hp) so I just wanted to know how much was related to the LSD.

Help me out. I've owned 2 BMWs in the past E36 M3 supercharged and a E34 535 bored and stroked to 4.0L, I own a 2006 STi and have been toying with the idea of a nice 135i. I don't know where you're located but if you're like me; Boston, how bad is it to drive in the winter?

Well, coming out of an STI, you'll miss it during winter. It's ok, pretty safe with all the systems on and lots of fun with all off, but don't expect to go near as fast. Probably similar to your past BMW's, slightly better because traction control are getting pretty good.

The good part is that it's more fun to drive during summer (RWD). I don't know if you would be willing to throw some mods on the car, but I STRONGLY suggest you get a set of coilovers and a tune. Else you are going to miss some aspects of the STI. But with these mods, you won't even remember you had it... except when winter's back

If you ever plan coming near Montreal, let me know and we'll go for a ride.

It sure seems like you really don't understand the principals involved. The whole purpose of a car like this for many of us is to go fast. Not having an LSD gets in the way of that when there's a corner involved. The car is good as it is, but it would be better with an LSD. The brakes have enough work to do stopping the car when it's being driven hard on a track without having to also try and control rear wheel spin.

...The car is good as it is, but it would be better with an LSD....

So why not buy the Quaife? Problem Solved.

[philaf_666]

If you have $5K to spend. An option would have been like $1.5K

Not at all. I love my 1. It's by far the bar car I had.

I just find a little frustrating that no option was available at the dealer when you can have a Torsen LSD as an option on a Hyundai Genesis coupe.

I guess I just have a hard time getting over it

That's an option I'm considering, but that's not the point here. I don't want to hear someone going "wah wah wah" every time the e-Diff's drawbacks are mentioned, as if they're not real. If you're not interested in an LSD, what's the point of coming into a thread like this and talking shit to people who are?
