Unfortunately not. My t-case bit the dust last weekend. New (used) one will be here next week, so I shouldn't be down for too long. It seems auto-x is slow in April this year. Not sure I want to go all the way to Dover.

Though Danimal does owe me a co-drive!

the TRE max lock is the best bang for buck mod. that's what i have but i also have the 1.5 way rear diff. the front lsd will help reduce inside wheel spin on corner exit.

a stiff rear sway bar only help rotate the car on corner entry, the max lock rear diff will help the car rotate on exit. but i think you'll have to get ACD flash to take full advantage of the rear diff. i think marc has the rear diff also but not sure if he has the ACD flash.

LSD party? Not familiar with TRE rebuild. Paper, gel or liquid?

Fun for the money is an understatement.

Yes, but for autox that is still very useful, at least in an evo.

And with the flashbacks, its a long term investment.

yeah but on big turns it helps let you apply throttle earlier.

Shoe told me I really should get it done.

I has the 12 plate TRE rear and love it. Instead of the car pushing at exit with power it will rotate. very fun exiting a turn with power oversteer!

^ wtf, I didn't know evo 8 still exist. I thought everyone is driving evo 9 these days. Check with Marc, he's running max lock diff on evo 8, but he's slowly converting his car to evo 9.

You could always weld your center diff and remove front axles so you could dominate touge street racing.

I had a problem last weekend getting the car to rotate. Last night I went from the soft setting on my whiteline to medium. I have a spot behind my work thats a tight turn around private rd and the car rotates alot better it could be I now have 100 more whp to help me, since I was stock at cbp

I has no ACD since my car is an VIII. Only electronic aid I have is ABS.

I would try and keep the rear sway soft and just try to get more traction up front rather than trying to reduce grip in the rear to make the car loose.

a nice chap named Corey once told me that getting on the throttle earlier is the key to corner exit oversteer.

This was after I complained about having a viscous diff.

Camber bolts? Not sure if they are safe enough for track duty though.
