thats cool, lets try to get closer to topic now, no hard feelings, i don't really care i just don't want this thread to become cluttered. no updated as im in school right now though, i have a progress sway bar, thicker perches, and the first set of kartboy endlinks and bushings available for the progress sway bar for our cars waiting to go on along with a greddy turbo timer ready to go on next thursday when i get home to go to the SUBY / MITSU SHOOTOUT and Norwalk.

 

will you have a new clutch installed by the shootout? you are racing in it right?

 

hotshots stage 2 setup is very strong. from a 3rd gear freeway run i only pulled on him about half a car or so. i wouldn't doubt 240-250whp.

 

the shootout is in 2 weeks. I have no clutch. I have no money. No I was going to run but now my clutch is slipping badly, i'm goign to try to turn the boost back down to 5 psi and see what happens. Id like to run it there but I might wait till i get a new clutch, which could be a while, and run it at a more local dragway. Id like to get a clutch and flywheel so i can do them both while i have the tranny apart but id be happy if i could get the money together for a clutch let alone a flywheel. By far the biggest downfall of stage 2 is the traction / stock clutch issues.

 

LSD... thats the ticket!

 

boe how much of a diff did it make with your 60' times?

 

clutch + flywheel + lsd = $$$$$$$$ that i don't have.


A sponsorship must be a nice thing to have when your trying to build a car...

 

That price in itself is buying a second turbo kit for your lancer.

 

Before lsd on stock tires 2.2-2.4 avg
after lsd on stock tires 2.0-2.2avg

And i suck at launching... best launch i ever did was on slicks with lsd and that was a 1.8!

 

You gotta pay to play...
I put over 18k into my lancer before i called it done... then i went back to stock and i'm starting all over again.

 

my 60' were the same on heavy 17s with lo pro tires and jsut the nonIC kit, so with the stiff motor mounts, stickier tires with a larger sidewall, and lighter wheels i think i can drop my 60' a good amount without the lsd even.

 

probably... but with the lsd you'd be even better.

There's no doubting the difference it makes. Drive a car with one and compare. It corners better... launches better... and even pics up speed a lot better. I barely spun tires on my car at 13psi. All i was on was toyo proxies. There's guys running stock diff burning second from 4k on. It helps, no doubting it.

 

Like i said before... your either a serious player or a weekend warrior. You choose.

I got serious and lead the way for many... maybe you'll be the next. Right now OMAR is kicking ***... he's got the lsd! :hint: :hint:

 

How hard is it to install an LSD? Is that the same as the clutch/flywheel?

 

It should only be done by a certified shop or really experienced mechanic. You have to take the tranny apart to do the swap. Some seals need to be replaced as they are ruined when taking it apart. Either have a dealer do it or pay RRM to do it for you. I wouldn't attempt it unless you knew what you were doing.
