Feeler: G40 Phase 1 Gemini LSD

Featured Replies

Just to see if theres enough interest for this really.

I had this rebuilt along with my 'box and it has less than 50 miles on it.

Its not much use to me at the moment.

Is this just the diff ? Is it a ATB type ?

Dan - Gemini are the plate-type diffs from the G40 Cup Cars.

atv box or?

This is the LSD only chaps, no gearbox included.

Oh right, wasn't sure if the phase 1 was plate type or not. Ta

How reliable are the phase 1's??

Is the gearbox as reliable after its fitted as I understand some machining of the gearbox case has to be done to get it to fit? is that correct??

How much of an improvement does this make?

Cheers!

gutted.............

Bump, cant believe no one wants this.

I have one and the gearbox is fine and it makes a hell of a difference

I've not driven the car with the LSD on, as said above, its done no more than 50 miles.

From what many people have said, they are an awesome bit of kit, why I got it in the first place.

Maybe Lew could shed some more light on their performance.

In terms of performance it really depends what the preload is on it. In terms of the gearbox mine is an ex cup car gearbox so not 100% sure what machining if any is involved. But I'm guessing they must be able to take a fair amount of shit being a cup car and all.

i've been trying to catch you on msn! give us a shout when youve got a chance, i'm interested

Will try and catch you on msn later mate, see cars for sale thread in the mean time...

I've finally fitted my Gripper equipped gearbox. It's certainly interesting around corners. You're alright with the wheels are spinning, but when they grip the front wheels will point straight regardless of what you think of the idea. I believe mine has quite a lot of preload as stationary turning of the wheels takes a bit of effort too. I vaguely remember asking for a gravel setup when I originally discussed the idea with Gripper. I'm fitting power steering to try to cure it.

I'm not sure what the preload is set to on mine, will phone JP and see if they know.

How many miles have you done on it? I'm led to believe it will ease off slighty once its bed in. JP will not mess with the pre-load unless specifically requested.

Around 50. Once I've got some better brakes, i.e. not metal on metal, I'll be trying a bit harder.

sorry to thread jack, but yeha how are you doing the power steering? I've seen people use corsa c pas steering columns for the mk1, drop me a pm if you need a link to the details

hmmm i will see how much i spend at ultimate

I'm surprised too. If I hadn't got the gripper, I'd be ripping your hand off.
