I feel that there is VERY little traffic through this section of the forum. I know Rx7s aren't the most popular drift car, but they should be near the top! I'm in the process of building my FC just for this purpose. I wanted to start a thread on which LSDs you all have used regardless of vehicle and which do you prefer. Using a stock 1-Way in your 240SX or FC, or maybe your using a 1.5-way Cusco...anybody have opinions on LSDs for reliability, power transfer, etc? I'm looking for a 2-way cusco but have only seen the 1.5-way for sale... I know they make one for the FCs, just need to find it...

Side note...I was reading an article online a few days ago written by SuperStreet (IMHO whom only seems to be fixated on CIVICs and rice in general) but they talked about setting up a car for drift. The article was so full of misinformation, I'm tempted to write them in...they said there were only two types of LSDs 1.5 and 2 way..1.5 way only controlling during acceleration and lacking during braking and the 2 way which controlls during both. I mean, COME ON ...there is more to it then that! A 1-way LSD only controlls during accleration, a 1.5-way controlls during both acceleration and deceleration, but is biased towards accleration and the 2-way is equal biased acel and decel....

ANYWAYS...thoughts??

ats deftforce is awesome and available from them direct in NY.... when i buy another diff it will probably be a deftforce

Which type did you use? How much...etc..

I'm using a mazdaspeed 2way with great success... locks and spins em whenever i need it.... i was using a stock tII diff for about a month, then came across my MS 2way, it was a definate UPGRADE!! if you're wanting to drift, you NEED to get an aftermarket diff. the cusco 1.5way can be configured to be a 2 way... for more info contact: http://www.napsusa.com

i can't remember the contact's name there, but they're very informative and have decent pricing... also you could go with an os giken 1.5way or 2way... the local distributor for that (west coast) is non fugita... his shop number is: 310-320-8891 hope this helps a bit...

Deftforce is the way to go

Ah, feedback, lol... any links to this deftforce stuff? I'd like to read up on it if possible, or maybe give somebody a call who can tell me more about it. The price sounds really good!

Thanks for the number for the other OS shop man too, I'll check 'em out..

If the Cusco 1.5way can be configured to be a 2-way..is that what they sell as a 2-way, just a reconfigured 1.5? We'll see..i'm just shopping around finding out what I can before making a purchase, I KNOW i'm not going to keep the stock T2 one I swapped in (my car is an '88SE converted to '91 GTX, so I have the stocker for now)

Let me post some links up once I find them

edgar get off my forum! jk

any of the diffs mentioned are good but i think os and cusco are more than $1000

just to note, deftforce is NOT for the timid. Strictly for those on team serious, its makes alot of noise and shakes the car when you're puting around town. For sliding its the best tho, i have the 1.5.
