Soon to have 2 - Noob
« on: 31 January 2011, 09:57:56 »
Hi guys just thought I'd say hello (not a fan of those forum lurkers).

Bought a V6 CDX last week to strip and have a but of fun with on the track (drifting) and was so impressed with it on the drive home that I'm going to buy myself a diesel for running to work in lol

Been a fairly big vauxhall fan having had couple of Vectras, few Astras, corsa frontera and got another Astra at the house for the wife and now the Omega (soon to be 2)  :)

hey there coog. welcome.

omega for purpose drift car...   good lad ;)

Welung advised me to disconnect the ABS ECU (which controls TC) for drifting.  Apparently it still gets involved even when you switch TC off the normal way.  Maybe route to a switch in dash! (if poss)

Don't forget, this ain't no 10 second race...

By the way (sorry to semi-hijack)
Does anyone know which models have an LSD and which don't?  Maybe another reason why mine is so hard to get sideways...

Thanks for the awesome welcome guys!!

I can disable the TCS on the dash with the button, should I also disconnect the ABS module? Where abouts is it?

Pretty sure only certain MV6's came with a LSD (inc police spec ones). It should be easy enough to check, just jack the rear wheels off the ground and spin one. If they both rotate the same direction then you have LSD, if not then chances are you have an open diff or a broken LSD.

I just installed a MIG spec differential. It's a bit ghetto but then the car is intended for 'tramp' drifting.

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
