it will only cost you more in tyres if you fry them, but at least the wear will be even, so instead of changing one side more often than the other, you will be changing them at the same time.

Honestly, the difference between mech and viscous is huge.

I found that I could get off the mark without spinning my wheels, where as before anything more than a very gentle launch would result in wheels squeeling as I left the lights. This of itself is pretty important with todays hoon laws but also makes it more enjoyable to drive.

Also, when the wheels do spin, the back end is alot more predictable (even better if you lock the hicas). Going around corners/bends if you put your foot in, the back end doesnt launch sideways unpredictably, and coming back it doesnt whip around. It will still step out, but it is much more controllable and you can just keep your foot in, hold it sideways (if you want) and bring it back under control. So much better, once you upgrade to mechanical you just wont want to go back.

That is of course unless you use the car for cruise/shopping trolley duties only.

If you go back to viscous, you will kick yourself.

Would have to agree with Steve there, once the back end steps out with a mechanical LSD it is so much easier to control. you can hold ya foot flat and goes were you want, instead of everywere else

Im sure having a lock bar on mine has made it just that little bit better aswell

And you get way better launches

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
