i have been reading about spool/minispool diffs but i dont really know if they are different. what would be the advantage of getting a mini-spool because i see they are fairly cheap to buy one. if anyone can help it would be helpful thanks!
Have a search plenty of threads covering it. Essentially a minispool locks both axles together so that both wheels spin at the same speed 100% of the time. Illegal for use on the street and destroys tyres and twists and snaps axles if you have any kind of power and grip. Also dangerous in the wet for a noob. Great for burnouts and the drags though.
for the street, a lsd is much better, unless you wanna be getting axels and tires every 6 months (im saying axels because you posted in n/a so a 25 spline axel will have no chance lol
just go lsd man... mine has a spool...and in 8 months i've already gone through two lots of tyres and a rear k-frame...and in the wet things just get stupid...
but in the wet its so much fun its f*kin unbelievable
you wont have no crappy lsd singling out, theres advantages and disadvantages for both
i got a minispooled diff recoe'd with 25 spline and its fine, just take corners wide, try and pick up speed when you turn corners..
you'll learn how to drive a minispool to minimize hoping
but yes tyres are bad, 4 months on 19's and got about 60-70% tread
btw.. and read my sig..its wonderful lol

fun until u **** up they are illegal for a reason, to stop people having accidents and killing themsselfs and/or others, name one advantage of a minispool on a n/a auto?
roads aint ment for fun, they are meant to give you a route from point a to point b, fun is what you do at easternats, dragtag and calder

Agreed
drop some oil and give it curry..... Both wheels will spin even in a single spinner with oil....
But no stick with an LSD they are safer and best of all legal to drive with

I second that, inspired is still young.....and the saying goes young and dumb! ive got a detriot locker on my calais turbo best 2cents i have ever spent on her!!!and from previouse experiences geting a minispool is cheap and nasty way of a LSD its the same as welding your diff i DONT suggest welding/minispooling your diff unless you want to change tyres every now and then and putting strain on your driveline and if you have 25spline axels snaping them every now and then minispools cost around 70bux and is fairly easy to install theres a thread on it. welding is cheaper option grab a friend and start welding and if you want to upgrade to 28spline axels to save the headache of snaping axels and upgrade will cost around $150 per axel which is 28spline axels. and if you seriouse about your diff geting a fancy diff rebuilt with a set of fancy axels and gears can cost you any where between 1 - 3grand hope this helps
