Paul, you must have really, really wanted that Alfa rear end. Have to admit they are the best looking in any production car ever but that exceeds the Locost creedo. I have an early Celica pumpkin that I paid $20 for. Clunks a little but it was Locost!
Just hope it doesn't strand me somewhere. I had to move mine a little off center to meet the angle the driveshaft folks recommend. IIRC 3* is acceptable but no more than that.
Yeah, by far the most expensive piece in my Seven and it is way more attractive than the Toyota lump that I ended up gifting to someone in Maine. Still though...the whole car was just over $9K, so although not the most locost of locosts, still locost. Not crazy big money, especially when you consider all of the grins we get from it. So far, 3 fillups since April 1 and it hasn't even gone anywhere useful.
So LSD vs non-LSD. As all of these cars have plenty of power to break the rear tires loose, LSD can break both rear tires loose in a corner but can exit much better...just be ready with quick hands if you overcook it. Non-LSD, spin that inside tire but no snap oversteer. Me, I am addicted to the bite and traction coming out of corner and yes, there have been a few "moments".
And as Larry says, 3° is sort of the limit.
