Hey guys and girls, I put my locker in yesterday and took it out for a bit of fun last nite with a set of 205/60/13 on the back =) Heaps of fun!!! chews the shit out of ya tyres tho. I had to take my 16" rims on the back and just put the 13"s on... I also took them 2 spacers out between the torque tube and the underbody and it fixed the vibration I used to have at 110km/h... Anyway heres to NUTSSS!!!

well i seem to remeber my old gem used to go 2 wheel quite alot
and a little pump of the clutch aroudn the corner went twinies
so why weld it and fuck out the whole rear end of my car
plus i liek driving through the hills and yeah you cant hit a 25 kmh corner at like 50 or 60 with a locker and get around it with out going side ways and trust me you dont wana go side ways where im driving
so you can keep your dodgy locker
also just makes driving a bitch when you use your car every day to and from work

My mate fitted one to his Gemmy about a week ago. He took me for a spin (literally), then jumped out and told me to have a bash. MAAAAAAAAAANNNN lockers are the shiznit !! I lost it on my first burnout coz it whipped a little harder than i thought it would, but after that i was ready for it. We drove to a dirt track and i cut sick with fishys and doughys everywhere. We both had grins on our faces for the rest of the day, though i have to admit driving back on winding wet roads was a little scary. Felt like it was ready to step out anytime i touched the throttle.
I'd put one in a 'weekend warrior' but not in a daily driver - bit too much for day to day situations esp if it pisses down rain.
Gotta love the way you can just pull opposite lock, light it up, and the tail just pirouetes like a ballet dancer.

If i had the cash i'd go a proper L.S.D, my mates locker was wicked cool but i wouldn't slap one in my rear end. Too much stressin when ya trying to park the damn thing or take a U turn. Straight line performance isnt my picnic, i also like the idea of not having to stock up on axles or bushes. But each to their own i guess, it'd be boring if it wasn't.
