ok i recently agreed to myself that i'm keeping my car for a while. its just too nice to sell....

i want an lsd in addition to my underdrive pulley to give me some serious power. i heard the lsd can take almost a sec off 0-60 time... is that right?

also anyone know of where i can get a nice not-expensive lsd? what year to fit? im looking at one on ebay right here

yeah ive heard of LSD's shaving off more time on modded cars, simply because they get both wheels movin at same speed at same time off a launch...

that lsd on the auction looks ok .. but why not wait till u got more money and go get a Kaaz or Cusco. they arent VLSD's like the one ur lookin at.. the vicious coupling is a little crappier than the straight LSD, its alot cheaper to make thats why.

isn't suitable for street use.... what? its a differential. its definately legal, it has nothing to do with emmissions.

i heard vlsd is better. no way im paying over 200 for it.

I'm assuming he means not suitable because a 2 way differential is pretty much the same as a locked differential except when you're going around a turn. The oil needs to be changed in them every 3,000 miles. It's a hassle in a street car.

that sorta what i meant.. i just read on a website that the 2 way diffs are for highspeed track racing and sacrifice alot of low speed driveability. they are usually brought in for maintenance before every event.

the 1.5 ways are a normal chore for anyone who babies their car anyways.. like if u change ur oil at the recommended 5000 mile mark all the time, then 1.5 ways wont be a problem for u.

ill find the site.
gimme a while

I'd just keep looking around here for an R200 (or pick up that one on ebay). If you just plan on using your car on the street than I probably wouldn't spend the extra money on a Kaaz, Cusco, or a quaife.
