nm Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Which cusco clutch type are you installing, the more aggressive or less aggressive? (I can't be assed to look up the model names). i'd be tempted by the more aggressive as it is going to be a hell of a lot easier to service in the back than the front.

whitetiger Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 i have my eye on a 1.5 way type RS. its gonna be lots of experimentation so ill just start with what they give me and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 the rallispec OEM will be the best fit, period. go with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nm Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 the rallispec OEM will be the best fit, period. go with that one. There were no fit issues with my cusco at all. Just dropped in. Depends on whether the ups/downs of a clutch type are for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 ^good to know. im interested to see what drive-ability is like for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derkahn Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 so my options are --- rebuild 5 speed with lsd -- put new 6 speed in (which I thought unless I get an sti one) does not have a front lsd.. then I would need new rear diff , driveshaft , dccd etc etc.., maybe axles,,, etc... I'm most likely going to go with rebuild 5 speed replace what needs replacing and add the "whitetiger mod" front lsd and put a new clutch in while they are in there... any other worthwhile suggestions of things to do while its all out?

nm Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 ^good to know. im interested to see what drive-ability is like for that Very good. I have 20k mi on mine. The key is to get the right one. Cusco makes one that needs a rebuild very frequently and one that won't need one for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 ^ If that's the case, think I'd choose longevity (OEM) over some percentage increase in handling - all else equal. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derkahn Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 just ordered my diff from rallispec.. should take.....ugh 3-4 weeks to get here... anyone flying to colorado from japan anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 ^ If that's the case, think I'd choose longevity (OEM) over some percentage increase in handling - all else equal. well, putting a clutch type int he front usually means you have a specific intention for it aside from general use. most put a gear/helical in the front so you dint have to mess with fluids/rebuilds. NM+ why did you decide to go with the clutch type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nm Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 NM+ why did you decide to go with the clutch type? Part of it was the OEM was just difficult to get when my transmission was out. Part of it was curiosity It drives pretty awesome though. Apparently, the rebuilds should be very infrequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nm Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 i heard they are noisy? which cusco one did you get? 1 way type-RS No noise that I notice. Maybe some slight binding at full lock, but otherwise completely seemless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP3C7R3 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 just ordered my diff from rallispec.. should take.....ugh 3-4 weeks to get here... anyone flying to colorado from japan anytime soon? You shop around at all? $1400 is hard to stomach. I realize they are getting more rare, but damn, I have seen them for $900 new a couple years ago. I have 55k on my car now, going to attempt to find a reasonably priced FLSD for the TBD clutch change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 i got mine from rallispec for about $1k back in 2008 when i started this thread. the price has gone up alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Shop is finnally installing my front LSD next week. Question is, I haven't had a chance to ride is someones car that has one so no chance to do an A/B comparison. From driving off his lot what would I have to do to notice a change? Is there any real world non track scenario that will make it evident that it's in there? Man I'd hate to have a mechanic say it's in there but maybe one of his shop guys didn't have time (getting a lot of other stuff done) to get it in there.

wpmarky Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 On ramps & off ramps are more fun =] The car rotates a lot more differently during turns, not as much throttle oversteer to slide the tail out. I need more entry speed and steering input to do that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshire40 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 i notice it most on wet pavement and snow... handles a little more like a fwd with front lsd on corners IMO. it is a good mod but to me it wasnt like night and day difference Mod list & photos _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 W. Tiger, do you think it changed your MPG's much? I know for performance purposes that MPG's really don't apply but I'd just like to know for sh**s and giggles. I'm really fond of this mod though.
