What about soft at the rear ~150lb/inch and yokohama 021

LSD is optional, just be gentle with the wellington in 1st and 2nd.

p.s. I like your gentle humour

175 ~= 150, not much difference to my mind. you get more difference from tyre pressures, or a passenger.

Lots of folk will suggest stiff at the rear. But to my mind its just a recipe for wheel spin.
Nothing wrong with wheel spin if it make you feel good though.

I don't know much. But (at the rear) 150lb/inch, soft ARB, open diff 3.14, bec, small td04-16T turbo, and Yoko 021r seems to result in a nice combination of crazy acceleration and no real wheelspin (at least in 2nd in the dry). Definitely a case for stiffer at the front.

I take it the LT77 is the box which fits the Peug engines???

If this is the case, would you say it was the size of the type 9 or the later MT box??

Its so i know what size tunnel is reqired for the chassis...
