It says 4x4, and spins the front wheels up.Quote:

the 4x4 system on a vauxhall uses a variable visous coupling without going into detail as i will be here all night it basicly means theres no set split in the power dillivery from the center diff it uses a synthetic fluid inside a sealed VC that exspands as it heats up this fluid surrounds loads of mini clutch discs that turn closely to each other half the discs are connected to the input shaft the other half of the discs are connected to the output shaft. as the discs spin at different speeds it creates friction which heats the fluid causing it to exspand and cause the plates to start to bind and hence turning the output shaft. The faster the input shaft spins in comparison to the out put the hotter the fluid gets and the more drive is sent to the rear wheels.
In other words the more the front wheels spin the more drive is sent to the rear wheels
hence why the front wheels still spin first
also you get it to hot the plates give in and bang goes the tx box hence the importance of keeping tread depths on all 4 wheels as close as possable
calibra and cav 4x4 rear diffs are stolen from a holden comodore and were originaly designed to cope with over 400lbs per foot of torque and its usualy the seals that go in the tx (locked box sorts that) then its the vc or casing (qrew tx sorts that) the only reason they got a bad rep is because to many people listen to people that dont know how to properly maintain and look after the vx 4x4 sytem and as a result it goes belly up.Quote:

no the real reason its gone bang is its crap
Poor design though compared to other manufacturer with needing so much attention to make it reliable. As much as I hated my Celica GT4 it wasn't fussy about hard launches, tyre treads etc.
Fair enough, had a look around and it seems there's a convincing enough diff at the back, have to admit it's somewhat dubious from the original video though.
