Lance is the one that schooled me on them and he said quaife would still suffice for drifting so I think Imma just get that one....

I have yet to see a Z with a welded diff, lol. It would be the cheapest option.

Awesome for drifting, hence my first event with my welded I placed second.

Auto-x..... not so much, understeer upon turn in and oversteer midcorner and exit. I hate chicago boxes now, my car freaks out when presented with one, lol.

Anyway, S15 HLSD will be in my car one of these days.

I recommended the Quaife because:
Silent operation
No break-in period
Drops right in, use your stock shims
Geared based, no clutch plates to wear out
Better for auto-x and road racing, but will perform well in drag and drift

finally found where my exhaust leak is coming from
I always thought it was my headers, but it was in fact my stupid test pipes.
First I paid $250 for them then I paid $150 to fix them, and now they are leaking!!!
I got hella scammed for those things.

Anyone want some cheap faking Kinetix Resonated Test Pipes?

WTB Resonated Test Pipes!

LOL

Lafayette BWW was actually decent tonight, met some new people that seemed pretty cool.

OK i think this thread is long enough and covers enough topics now

BYE
