Well, it seems that the clutch members are the parts which usually break in the original LSD if anything does break. This means that I have to buy a complete original LSD to replace the current one. Oh well..

On the bright side. my 4.778 final drive kit from SYM arrived! Big Grin

Very nice, thank you! I started to calculate how the final drive affects the actual top speeds of each gear. If using the stock sized 185/60R14 tyres and a rev limiter at 7850rpm, on 5th gear, the top speed of the car falls from 231km/h to 208km/h and on 4th gear, the the rev limit kicks in at 179km/h instead of 199km/h. However, given that I'm considering using 195/45R14 tyres, the top speed of each gear would be as follows;

1st: 46km/h
2nd: 81km/h (~4400rpm=46km/h)
3rd: 119km/h (~5350rpm=81km/h)
4th: 165km/h (~5700rpm=119km/h)
5th: 191km/h (~6800rpm=165km/h)

Very nice and tight! Smile

The shift from first to second drops the revs a bit low but first gear usually isn't that much needed anyway when driving on a track.

If you want to calculate the speeds on different gearings and tyres, here's something I made quickly at work (hahaa); OpenOffice / Excel. Have fun. Smile

I also re-arranged the project image gallery because I had to switch servers - while I was at it, I added some new photos of the current progress;

Edit: updated the spreadsheets to new ones that show also the upshift RPMs.
