Doc for a Mini a CIG locker is a massive pain, alright in a rear wheel drive.
I experimented with one in my younger years, didn't like the one wheel spinning on take off at the hill climb so I got dad being a boilermaker to weld up a 3.7. Damn couldn't steer the thing at low speeds and I reckon with the mini having unequal drive shaft lengths producing big HP I'd need arms of steel to combat the torque steer..

Ty...use an Austin 1800 steering wheel

that`s what i`m using for the Turbo charged alloy V8 speedway mini with a locked diff

seriously huge!!!

Talking to a racer tonight.......he reckons that Rob Owers is about the only Mini Not running an LSD and has been for years......

Hey Matt, Fred said that he did a LSD for you, I though he said it was for the Maxi gearbox.
That V8 thing wasn't that going to be a Sports Sedan? That's were I want to see it!!!

I've heard of guys modifying a Salisbury LSD from a Torana or somesuch to fit a Mini. Anyone know how it is done?

james that story sound familiar.
was showing my mate how quick the car was with the lSD in it and upto 120 and a car came out of a side road so i took my foot of and tried to turn damn i dont remember seing the wall last time i came up the road and to top it all off i wrote my car off and it was a cops house whos wall i had to rebuild.
so now the lSD and the nutty driving is saved for the track and im now a reborn slow person on the road, NOT.

Ty,,,he was going to , i even dropped it off to him to do it, but the stupid CAMS & their changing the sports sedan regs to instigate Farken """Weight restrictions"""...what the...???? i would have had to add 400kgs into the dam thing,,,what the fark did i lighten the carfor then???

so now it`s all going into my spaceframe speedway brick & i`m sticking a locker into her ,,,that`s where the austin 1800 steering wheel comes into play

Binicho,,,the torana diff i heard about years ago,,,had some play with one myself modding it to fit a corrolla with a mate here in Brisbane & worked a treat, don`t know if i`d bother to mod one for a brick tho,,,the work we went to for the corrolla was bad enough

I`d just buy one of Freddys diffs or, if you`re rich ->source a Quaife jobby,,,yeah, yummy tell your mummy

The Aussie Racers use a Toyota diff...likely to be LSD....might be worth a look.....
