That's funny Charles. That kind of LSD may or may not get you better handling of stuff-

I can say that the LSD under normal driving is completely un-noticeable. It is benign, quiet and easy to own. The added punch is welcome and when you do get frisky coming out of a corner, you can really feel the back end bite and go. It leaps forward. Other than that it is just just like an OEM diff. I never launch my car like I was drag racing, but I have no doubt it could take the abuse. MY L28 can really put the power down through the 205's. The car may be more fun with the 195's I have in storage. But she is definitely sure footed.

I made one mistake in my installation, I installed the RT mount for the rear end. But I trimmed the bump stop too short. So if I really get abusive with the transmission I get a thump. Other than that it has been flawless. A wonderful mod that has added a GREAT deal of enjoyment to my car.

IN fact so much, I was able to shock a guy in his fancy FRS with what an old Z could do.. haha.

ummmm, not that I know from first hand experience or anything, but I heard you can get two rubber marks when launching.

Travelin' man you'll notice a difference in the mountains. Especially with the extra HPs you have. It makes a bigger difference in my turbo car than the NA just because of the torque but a nice upgrade. There is a guy in Weaverville who works on diffs. especially the Subaru and Mazda stuff. I had him re-stack the shims in mine after I broke the c-clips. I was told it is better than stock but don't know for sure since I broke mine before install the 1st time.

Hi...would you mind sharing the name of the shop in Weaverville?

Thanks..

Sure I sent you a PM. Hes a nice guy and has a race shop and only works on diffs on the side to help pay for racing. I say its a race shop but maybe more like a huge garage that would make everyone here jealous.

Anybody have an extra front pinion flange for a R180 they want to sell?

I might have missed it, but did you install the finned diff cover?  There is a pic of it on the bench, but your pic of it on the car it looks like the standard cover.  

 

If you didn't install it, why not?

The standard rear crossmember hits the finned cover. You have to get something like an Arizona Z car rear crossmember to clear the finned cover

Would the Techno Toy Tuning Mustache Bar work with the finned cover (assume it would as it is very similar to the ArizonaZ Car one.?

I don't know. Just send them an email and ask...
