        Not to say it will explode because they are great diffs in their own way but I feel an actual locking diff is more stable and predictable in general. I also get annoyed at the torsen on the mustang, I don't feel it puts power down in a manner I jive with.
        For those reasons alone, I have never understood why anyone would want a Torson LSD on their car. They seem like a half assed attempt. Give me a clutch type or Detroit locker any day of the week.

          They have their merits, it's just a tradeoff. Nothing is black and white, no matter how many people like to think of it that way.

            Danny just searches for himself every 5 minutes. Probably googles himself too.



            And Erique, that AC was phenomenal.

              well, i don't have enough spring to lift a wheel, i don't track my car, and i like the fact that they aren't always-on, because you get better turn-in.

              ub3rg33k on e3t said he loves his for ice racing as well.

              right hardware for the use case and all that...

                  I lift a wheel at least once a week pulling into entrances for gas stations and what not.

                    that's definitely not the kind of wheel lifting we're talking about.

                      that's not going to involve the kind of driveline shock that Nate's talking about.

                          I can do a wheelie on my dirt bike for pretty long. Does that count?

                              Yup.

                              M20 engine exhaust from the cats back. Small rust hole starting to come through muffler. Slight change in tone.

                              Pictures here








                              If slight hole bugs you. grind around area. cut sheet metal plate. weld in place . spray with high heat paint / barbeque paint -what eva.

                              Exhaust mounting straps included.

                              Hit me up.

                                Could one just click on New Posts and scan through them for mentions? Seems "magical" to me .
