mini spool advice?!


VL-TRBO-RB20

Recommended Posts

Do you use the car mostly on the street? If so, having a minispool will make negotiating tight corners a bit more difficult due to the fact that the diff is basically "locked".

I can't really explain it in the best way, but someone else will give you a bit of a better explanation soon I reckon.

I recently bought a KAAZ 2way mechanical LSD...i dunno how i lived without it

Iv also driven cars with minispools, and i think some peoples experiences and complaints about "turn circles" and "parallel parking" is over zealos. I had no issues and wonder what peoples complaints are sometimes.

If you want friendly driveability, get yourself a daily...personally i love a raw feeling car

Sure, you lose some sort of "daily drivability" and your rear tyres get scrubbed out but thats the price we pay when it comes to modifying our cars. Considering you're getting a mini spool in the first place, i gather you'er not one to really care about tyre wear on the rears.

Buy it, youll LOVE it and youll wonder how you did without it

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
