Celica Forums General Discussion General LSD

How come I havent seen anyone on the site with a limited slip. I mean at NOPI its around $300. Its good for Auto-x and track racing how come no one has it

is the one on nopi actually LSD? i thought i was like some sort of attachment you could put on there to somewhat simulate a real one ( i know that sounds stupid) cause the only two LSD's i've seen have been like $899.99 and up...

Do the 7th gens not come with LSD?

LSD does not come stock on the 7th gens.

he;s probably talking about the "phantom grip" POS...

for stock daily driving you don't need a Limited Slip on our cars it's pointless.

If you were driving a corvette with over 480+hp with a detroit locker on the rear end that would be worth it.

illusive had one if im not mistaken.

It is NOT worthless...I wish I could get one. However, that would mean that I would have to move up a class in Auto X. I am STS now and they don't allow LSD. GAR!!!!

sorry to be a retard but wat does this do?

It distibutes torque to the drive wheels differently than the stock open differential.

lsd doesn't let one wheel spin alone. when it feels a wheel spin it locks up and makes both front wheels spin at the same time with the same power not letting you lose traction by haveing one lonely wheel spin. great for hole shots.

see but I don't drive in autocross so i don't need one

hey novel concept: calling yourself a retard = retard-retardent coating. Hey Haulin maybe you can learn something from this guy.


j/k

I would get an LSD but the only one worth getting is the Quaife Helical LSD which costs $1000, not including install. If I'm going to spend money on something I'm going to get the best; not compromise in the short run and lose money down the road. If you are only interested in drag, your money is much better spent on a set of good drag radials for launching. BFG's are good but now I've heard more than one person tell me a blowout story so I'm not so sure if I should get them. There could be issues because I have a friend in Vegas who said he was driving his truck down the strip with new BFG g-forces' when the sidewall of one completely gave out, and he had to fight to stay in control. The PowerFC costs $1000 (not including Datalogit) and the Quaife costs $1000. Between the two I would get the PowerFC and that's what I did. It just arrived Tuesday but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

the TRD LSD is on my "next mod list" but rite now i have other mods planned

I saw it installed once on Sport car revolution on a RSX-S

and it didnt seem very hard either... it was just placing this U shaped link between the gears and placing pin through the hole, to hold the lsd on...

You know, I clicked this thread expecting an entirely "different" topic...

ask illusive about any lSD questions he will know since he has/had one
