Congratulations Neil =)

When choosing an LSD, you went with the TRD clutch-type, correct? How does a helical-type LSD compare for your application?

The plate/ramp LSD that we use was the only thing available when the cars were first developed in 2000.

I would like to try a torque sensing LSD ala Quaife or Torsen but there are higher development priorities at the moment.

So you've been using that LSD since 2000? Any issues with wear?

The TRD diff does wear and its housing does break.

Adjustments to pre-load are made 1 to 2 times a season.

Hi Neil,

It's great to see the Osbourne Motorsport celicas winning once again!!! How many titles is that now?

What kind of brake pads are you guys running? Also, have you guys had any issues with broken lift bolts? There's been quite a few reported cases in Australia now (on ozcelica.com).

Cheers
