hey guys i'v got a 25 spline vl with a mini spool. was out and about last night went to take a corner and it went BOOM! didnt know what it was so i checked to see if a tyre popped then figured out it wasnt spooled anymore. what could it be ? snapped spool, snapped axel ? it still drives but something's not right your ideas would help

Probably a snapped axle.

Axles don't like spools on the streets

what is the attraction of a mini spool over an LSD?

LOL this is funny, spools are for cheap skates specially if you just use them for the road to do sick skids. Get a tightened LSD 28spline and you will be laughing.

lol people ratting out on spools saying they're the cheap option, you probably granny your cars or they don't even have enough power to spin them up lsd's - are for towing trailors i've tried both, the lsd **** itself, the spool is going strong if you can deal with a bit of road chatter i'd take the spool any day of the week, if you can't deal with it buy a proper diff locker if thats too expensive stick to ripping singles

lol pretty much the cheaper option is what pulled me in being a first year apprentice doesn't help lol. i'v decided im goin to pull a diff out from the wreckers and take it a mate, got a good deal he will put the spool out of my car in and he has some 3.9's in his shed chuck them in too for $200 then just gotta figure out how to put the new diff in my car. im sure there's a guide on here somewhere so should be right =-). sounds like a good deal doesn't it?

My LSD lasted 4 corners of Sandown. The mini spool has been running 11's and doing power skids and running around on ET's for 3-4 years now and never had an issue. If you have a powerful car don't even waste your money on an LSD because you will break it and pay 8x what a spool will cost you.

LOL FOR SOME REASON PROGMH I DON'T THINK THESE FIRST YEAR APPS ARE CRUSING THE STREETS IN 11SEC CARS (ALTHOUGH SOME MAY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF MUM AND DAD) but over all i think spool vs. lsd is a matter of opinion really go with ya gut guys mate of mine got conned into puttin a 3.45;1 28 spline lsd in a vs i built and f***** it within 2 weeks, but when the same car was mine the stocka diff loved it never had a problem with it i dont think lsd's like big torque they just cant handle it

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Application, application, application. edit: I'm not going to bother with another spool/LSD rant as anyone who's been around for more than 10 minutes will know my stance on them. It's up to you to do the research and decide what you want. Each has there pros and cons for each individual application.

i just put a spool in my vl.. much better than my single spinner!!!!! ye its a bit harder to do U turns and stuff like that But in the rain on a open road, its all worth it

LOL love your posts man
