Some friends were sharing this video on Facebook and I figured this is a must see for everybody. Loaded onto Youtube a couple days ago, the star attraction in the video is not the Yamaha R1, a descendant of Valentino Rossi's championship winning M1, but rather the rider with seemingly balls of steel.

Watch as the rider storms through traffic on a highway in Warsaw at insane speeds, pulling high speed wheelies in between traffic and cheating death by just mere millimeters. If you thought our local rempits were bad, you have to watch this, it had me holding my breath for all six minutes. I'm amazed at the bravery on display.

There are 3 types of LSD....

- 1 way
- 1.5 way
- 2 way

Currently Im using 1 way LSD only, launching the car from stand still is perfect. No more wheel spin no matter how much I floor the pedal. But 2nd gears tends to wheel spin a little (too much tork on a 2.2 engine). Overall cornering is superb can feel the grip of the tyres very well. While sliding the car, counter steering seems more responsive and easier to correct the slide.
