Technical SuperCharged Panda

If you are going to up the power to around 160bhp then agreed that a diff will help in the corners.

But if you want to gain alot more traction through the corners on a standard 100hp then a set of lowering springs will help dramatically

Jason has a 1.4 500 and he's got a quaife diff so I think he's fairly qualified to comment

I've dropped the 500 30mm and had the quaife fitted. Dropping it will make it a harsh but will probably get rid of the rolly feeling on turn in. But if its traction you're after, the diff is where it's at.

[sarcasm]Jason, it seems to have slipped my mind at the moment, but what car is your 500 based on?[/sarcasm]

It's a Panda but shhhh. My 500 thinks she's a Maserati underneath.

Stick a Quaife diff in it. Uprate the clutch. You'll be fine.

In terms of a 200mm uprated clutch, what would you recommend? I will be in the market for one shortly as I'm using the normal 200mm face solid flywheel on a turbo 1368cc engine in a Panda.

Hopefully considered relevant in this thread..

Once again I seem to have killed a thread with a question.

I'm aware that the Stilo/New Bravo clutch is a popular upgrade, but I would have concerns at 200+ lb/ft torque, even in the lighter Panda. What do others think? Fast road upgrades are just not gonna cut it I don't think.
