Hi, I got a G80 for christmas(danny's sneeky).
I was just wondering what this thing actually feels like. It will be a couple of weeks before I can actually drive it due to a previous wheel inceident. When a wheels starts to brake loose, does the rachet instantly latch or does the broke lose wheel have to spin real fast first. I know the weights fling out when there is a 100 rpm differance between the two wheels. How fast is that?
Anyways, I am bored and I was wondering if anyone could exlpain this to me. Are donuts easy to do with a G80? Thats probably a stupid question,

Re: G80 question
3.23:1 gears. I am runing a slightly low gear for now.(its the gear that was in it).
I got the rear end together and the backlash is correct, the pinion preload is correct and the carrier preload is correct. Marking compound shows proper contact so its ready to go.
