Limited Slip Differential

My first planned mod for my S. An essential if you're into Autocross.

I think it's a (very) nice addition, but not essential.. There are other ways to work with balancing traction.

You're looking at $2K for parts and installation from what I've heard. I think more time could be shaved off initially by wheels/tires/intake/exhaust/etc... all for *less* than the quaife.

Get the sway bar, you don't need the LSD.

I saw a national caliber STX MCS leave two black marks for 50 feet, it was awesome. For a ProSolo Auto-X you will be well served by an LSD, and the advantage will carry through the rest of the course, just putting the sway on will not help transfer torque to the spinning wheel. If you run non-ProSolos the LSD advantage is not as great without the drag starts. I am going to turn my MC from national caliber car to field fodder by putting in the Qaiffe moving me to FSP, I hate wheelspin that much.

 

In a straight line, wheelspin is remarkably even for a car with no LSD:

 

Ur pulling that of the DSC sensors aren't you? Is there anything for which you CAN'T measure the motion?

 

I hate wheelspin that much too FWD-MX5!

And I wouldn't mind the thing being a little more sure footed in the snow.
