Resting and looking back~

I have been resting for almost 12 weeks now~ with my wife doing most of the driving. I really miss sitting in mango's Sparco deng lot~!

And i was so grounded, i start looking back some of mango's old videos and can't notice how much mango had grown over the years.

this was shoot not long after i got mango and broke it's 4K engine. And with freshly installed silver top and KM36 welded axle. It's hard to keep the compounding of mango's understeering all over the place. And initiating a sideway movement also not easy. Even with only 13" wheels installed.

And this is with mango running's stock SVT on Mines ECU with AE86 TRD zenki 2 way 80% lock LSD. It easily initiated drift with minimal effort and the front is holding it's traction even on dry pavement and 15" wheel at the back with fresh rubbers.

Man i miss flooring mango's throttler and i know he sure miss it as much as i am~ (T_T) ~ i still had another 12 weeks of recovering period a head.

But i think mango will be happy in a few months time for he's going to get his engine rebuild for it's piston ring had give way during my last SIC (Sepang International Circuit) open track day.

For now, sleep well mango~

LSD- Fix?? or not.... (>_<)~

Finally i had time to took apart the LSD to see what's cause of the non-locking-up issue~

And as always~ there's a miss understanding where the non TRD type LSD on AE86 axle is 1.5 way~ 

But from Toyota website, there's only 2-way LSD and non-LSD type differential installed on AE86. And it was conformed by the two sloped side pressure plate.

And 3 tiny whinny clutch in it~ XD~ 

And i wanna test something on the LSD, as making some groove on it~ see if it will improved the 'clutch' power~ 

another view~

And 3mm spacer added to the spring to increase the pre-load on the clutches~

And where i found out that it might be the culprit which causes the problem. A shim which press on the pinion gear which press on the clutches system wasn't installed correctly...hm~ seems like someone had fiddle with this LSD before~ lol~ but with a little skim and hammer, it's back to it's good stage to installed back to the LSD~

Walla~ everything put back to it's own place~ hopefully can test it out on the next change i took apart mango's axle~ 

Will post the result by then~ stay tune ^^~~~ please bare with my bad narration~ hahaha~
