Hes got bits and pieces lying around at the ultimute workshop
Hes going 2 have a look and see what he can find for me
BTW he is now selling the SR20 powered feroza.
If anyone is interested in buying it let me know.
It is no longer a 4WD

Good luck- I found two (that never materialised!)

How much is he asking for the feroza with the SR20?? and is it fully road registered with compliance papers??

I take it this is the one James?

Hmmmmm.... It's no longer any good as a 4WD and nobody interested in a fast "sports" car would even look at it.

If only my feroza went that fast

I'm glad mine doesn't!
You could get yourself into some serious trouble with that sort of power. Even being lowered and with the brakes improved I think it would be a dangerous vehicle; there's only so much you can do to improve the braking / handling on a SWB 4WD. If it does 13.08 second quarter miles (like I read somewhere) we're talking about a Feroza that will drag off all the latest HSV V8s, a lot of Porsches and Ferraris.....
I did see a video of it in a "drift" competition a while back.

I would be vey keen to get a copy of the video of a feroza drifting... i saw a few pics of it, but the movie would be better.

It was on some Fast Fours & Rotaries DVD from memory- I don't have it though.

Thanx Dave
I'll ring him friday and see what hes found

I saw it in 2 mags a few months back and at that stage it was puting out 260Kw@the wheels and in the 12 second bracket
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 11:24 am
When I get home from town I'll ring ben up and see what the verdict is.
BTW how much would you guys pay for an LSD

Most wreckers wanted around $650 when I was looking. I'd say $500 private unless it's been rebuilt.
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 4:38 pm
Well I rang up but he was on holidays 
He'll be back on monday so I should know by then

Does any one on the site have an LSD? MikeH had one thats all that I know of. I wonder if the people who do have them even realise it..
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 5:56 pm
I have 2 90 model US Rocky's, one has a LSD and the other doesn't. The one that does, has 4x4 on the side of the body.

Good question! Thats the point.
I don't know if i have a LSD! My wheels are spinning like a open diff, but i heard that most of the Ferozas in Europe where shipped with an LSD. So weather I have no LSD or its broken and needs to be serviced.
Does anybody know how to find it out (without taking the whole axle/diff apart)?
Best,
Haasa

Usually LSDs have some sort of tag on them to identify them. That's because they need different oil.
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 6:56 pm
My LSD has a sticker by the filler plug, but haven't cleaned it off to see what is says.

Best way 2 find out if u have an LSD is lift the rear wheels off the ground. Then turn one of the wheels and if the other wheel turns in the same direction then u have an LSD. If they turn in the opposite direction then it's an open diff.
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 9:19 pm
Ive do it every time i jack it up, just in case i missed it the last time you never know.
you never know.Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 9:32 pm

...and if the other side is not turning it will be a broken Diff
just kidding.....
but the idea is good
I just lifted one side and checked if there is a resistance when turning the lifted wheel (neutral gear). There was no resistance. So I assumed it's an standard open diff. But you are right. When I'm going to lift both sides up and the other side will turn the same direction or will not turn (with gear insert) I will have a LSD which has to be repaired... Correct?
Thanks,

hm.. I'm confused now.
cause I was looking into the service manual pdf's and found pictures of the LSD. Question: Why should the wheels rotate the same direction? There are also 4 pinion gears in the LSD-diff.... so the LSD-diff must act the same way a open diff does. It's the same...exept the connection the the axle is different (using this clutch plates instead of a coupler)
...Or I'm stupid...

It's OK haasa, I don't think you're stupid.
If the tail shaft is locked (for what ever reason) and you turn one rear wheel the other wheel will turn the opposite direction, whether you have a standard diff or LSD.
Why? I'm glad you asked! (Anybody from SA and my age?)
The differential action mandates that the turning rate of both axles together averages the turning rate of the tail shaft divided by the diff ratio, and the tail shaft is stationary. If the tail shaft speed is zero, the average of the speeds of the two axle shafts must also be zero, so the other wheel turns in the opposite direction to the wheel you are turning - clutch type LSD or not.
If the tail shaft is free a standard diff will behave the same way because it's (theoretically) easier to rotate the opposite axle than rotating the pinion and tailshaft (because of higher intertia.) The driven axle transmits drive to the side gears in the carrier, which tries to turn the carrier, which is trying to turn the tail shaft (stepped down by the diff ratio.) Because of the step-down ratio of the ring and pinion gearing the tailshaft is normally harder to turn than the axle of the opposite wheel (if both wheels are off the ground ) so the opposite axle take the drive, but spins in the opposite direction - because the average of the axle speeds must equal the tailshaft speed/diff ratio = zero/diff ratio = zero.
If the diff is a clutch type LSD there are friction plates connecting the gears on the axle shafts to the diff carrier. The clutch plates on the driven axle (the one you are turning) will turn the diff carrier (and the pinion gear) which will drive the clutch plates on the opposite axle and cause that wheel to rotate in the same direction as the driven wheel. Because the average speed of the two axles is not zero the tail shaft must turn too.
If you are confused by any of the above I appreciate that you actually tried to follow my waffle, and will be pleased to review my post when I'm sober.
Cheers,
Scott

ok let me get this straight, if i jack up the rear end and turn a tire and if the other one turns in the same direction with the tranny in netutral, that means i have lsd? hmm i gotta go take a look again... i keep praying that i DO have lsd.. but i highly doubt it....

hm.... thinking... the quoted part is not clear for me...
Because there are pinnion gears in a LSD-diff, the wheels will NOT rotate the same direction.... (my basic understandig)
I have to look for german manuals for better understanding this tech.
Thanks!
I remember my rear Pajero diff: When gear was in neutral and one wheel was lifted up, I was not able (or it was very very strong) to rotate the lifted wheel.... my Pajero-diff was working very very well. So I should have made this test on my Pajero - but I didn't...
Now I have a open diff or a broken LSD...

I know I haven't got an LSD from going off road in 2WD and getting stuck with one rear wheel in the air spinning uselessly. Anyone who's gone off road a bit should know from the amount of wheel spin they get from the rear (either you've got an open diff or your LSD is shagged if one rear wheel spins when lifted.)
