Smile GSC center diff - TESTED w/ VIDEO

Here is some info you guys might consider of value.

So running street tires n all, on tight turns the car would have some corner exit push... I didnt like it at all.... Greg told me he was working on a new center diff that would help that situation.

Its a 40/60 center differential, meaning it puts 60% to the rear wheels & 40 to the front. Man was it a uphill battle to install this thing... getting the right parts... taking out the tranny in my garage (ouch!).. etc... BUT... it was well worth it!



I highly recommend ordering new ring gear bolts, center diff speedo gear & bearings for this install as removing them from the original diff is a major PITA.

Below is a vid from smmp yesterday morning. Just taking it out for a lil' fun lap. Its from the 2.2 config, which is a smaller more technical layout (is not what is going to be ran at the evom shoot-out) We didnt really tweak with the car at all, not even tire pressures or sway bars.

FINAL VERDICT:
The car goes where I WANT IT TO.. so neutral.. so fast...

CHECK OUT VIDEO HERE

Also notice how hard those S1 cams hit in the mid range... mmmm yummy!!

thx Greggy-san... you did good.. you did good.

Wow, that looks like fun! I can't wait to hit the track this year. Your car looks like its very fast.

Btw, what is the split on the stock center diff ratio? I've never been able to find that out?
