While it says it's for the SRT and makes no mention of the NA, I think this is your ticket. Woody has one on his car and says it's the cats azz.


Please excuse my ignorance about this. What would be the effect of this on the traction control, if any?

I would think one would have to disable the TC but don't know that for a fact

Awesome! Thanks a lot, I will definitely consider that when this weather gets a little better.

Oh by the way, thanks for the PM Stogey!

It uses spring pressure between the spider gears to in effect act as a locker. Although I understand the concept of how it works, Woody would be able to explain this better than I since he has one and I don't... yet.

yes sir, this will go into the coupe...and don't get me wrong, like I said, I wish our cars came with limited slip, but, when a car has the sensors we have, you have to find a way to disable, or program around them....this kind of defeats the purpose of the design to begin with for normal everyday driving...now, for drag racing, I want both wheels hooking, and no TC period....in order to keep rpms up...these little cars will do that, you just have to practice, get used to it's quirky programming...

Between this, woody's yaw sensor mod and my memory trac and ESP module, you'd be set. Too bad I'm completely terrified of someone using it on the highway and killing themselves or someone else or it would already be for sale. You can thank our litigious society and people's inablilty to correctly place or assume blame for their actions.

I agree with you Rudy....that is why I would consider these mods to be for "off road use only"....if you use them on the road, well, you know and except the risk....all said, getting back to this thread, I purchased a '92 Camaro, special order...it came in just before Xmas in '91... I was excited to go pick it up at the dealer. I was driving an unmarked Camaro at the time, so I was used to their behavior on ice and snow...well, it snowed the night I picked it up. While sitting at a stop light, the rear wheels just wanted to keep turning, you had to stand on the brakes...but it was kind of fun....the posi letting both wheels turn makes you go to one side or the other, where as a single drive car won't do that...I still prefer the posi, but I see why MB cars are built to be safe, by using the sensors, and programming they use...

The litigation thing is a real problem. I was sharing what little I know about putting in aftermarket seats. I used about four times the words necessary, just trying to cover my self. All I wanted to do was help someone and it ended up word soup. Lawyers sure cause a lot of extra typing.

oh, well. the world's a rough place, get used to it.

my favorite is the person that comes in and complains about having no spare tire, or some other feature that they would have known about after a test drive/demo. so this car didn't have a feature one wanted...and they bought it anyway...and they're going to ***** about it? sorry, it if was that big an issue either deal with it or STFU.

and i may be joking, and i may not be joking...

I liked this site at first, its what actually convinced me of buying my car, a bunch of friendly guys obviously loving their cars. But this is getting outta hands. WHY BOTHER PLAYING THIS SCHOOLYARD GIRL BICKERING GAMES WITH THESE IDIOTS? Just ignore him, you don't know him, f**k him. And if you do know him, let him know face to face. I thought this was a place for like minded individuals? Plain silly...

I'm assuming that you are saying this is why people seem to bicker a lot, and not about my post? Anyways that's kinda funny, will send this to my girlfriend next time she's in that kind of mood...

Looks like I'm here to double-**** in those Wheaties.
I think that the OPs attitude is unacceptable, and that he should have shown some respect from the outset. Seems to be behaving himself again for now.
As for the topic,
I think the consensus is correct about the LSD-too expensive.
Surprising it wasn't standard in our '6s though...?

Anyone else want to get their rocks off before the mods pull the cord on this one? The OP made his amends but it seems like some people still feel they need to interject their drama and stir the pot.

Are we a nation of 6-year-olds? Answer: yes.

I've been made aware of the arguing on this thread and though disagreeing is permitted being rude to each other is not.

The Quote below should have got this back on subject.

Get back on topic here or this thread will be closed or removed.
