you can AX with the locker. my diff is adjustable and i went two times with it 100% locked like a spool. it understeers in tight slow turns, but since you are aware of that, you power-on oversteer instead so that doesn't happen. yes, motorsports northeast is the new name of the M club.

some pics and vid:

http://www.ponycars.net/ax729.htm

my car felt awesome. My best time was 45.5. that gt3 ran a 43.3. his car is awesome and he's great driver. my ABS system worked awesome; i just installed it and its my first race with it. i think with some more seat time for me, and maybe a switch to v710's like the gt3 had, i can hang with or beat that gt3. one issue i have to address is the steering. i want to convert it to manual; currently its ps rack that is looped. high effort.

3 FD's were there so that was pretty decent representation.

results:

http://www.motorsportsne.com/2006/re...AX07282006.htm

I was in 11th overall out of 72 cars. 3 of them were race cars. so thats like i was 8th out of 69 cars if you exclude the race cars.
GT3 = 43.3
ls1 fd = 45.5
chris' fd = 51.0
neil's fd = 51.2

chef, actually it had some really fast sections, but the videos always make it look really slow. looks boring on the vid i know. being in the car is a whole different ballgame.
