I'd have expected you to use a bulldozer to demolish the school ? You were clearly going to fast in the B10 as you kept missing it.

Not to easy to get the rear diff out on the B10 v8 on a dry surface.

You done well 46 :wink: Would be much more fun with a limited slip diff on the b10!

Thomas its very easy to get the back out, but you have to press & hold the DSC button for 10 seconds to turn the traction control fully off :wink: just pressing it only turns it half off :)

Have you got ASC or DSC Tony? As on ours (with DSC) it's the other way round - press once to turn fully off, or hold for 10 seconds to put it on the intermittent setting. Once on intermittent it can't be turned back on or fully off without turning the car off and back on.

Agreed the rear can swung about with the dsc in the unfunction mode. I still believe there to be had much more fun if the b10 came standard with an LSD. Still considering to have one fitted or not.

Simonal was looking in to having one installed. I wonder had he ever got round to it?
