    MFactory LSD group buy discussion thread

    A few hours late, but here you go guys.... new discussion thread for the MFactory group buy. Flaming will not be tolerated, myself and the other mods will be doing our best to keep this under control.

    Per Ryan's request, see below:

    Team MFactory says:
    could you post up in the G-series thread seeing as it is locked
    just say that you are posting on my behalf since i can't post in the locked thread
    tell them that the second prototype has been tested for over 1000 miles etc, with no oil leakage attributing from the axel backlash
    the second tester has provided feedback about its performance through trials in both dry & extreme wet conditions
    "In hydroplaning conditions Auto-Biasing is easily notable- alltho a given difficult situation to maintain a straight line. the lsd provides a severely drastic improvement consistantly transferring power between the wheels providing more available traction In dry conditions the Auto-biasing is a smooth transition hardly noticeable to a persay "everyday driver"- beyond its exceptionally increased
    traction through each & every corner/turn. Exiting speeds are notably increased in excess of 15+mph Vs an open differential- as noted on one of my personal favorites, traction to the inside wheel is immensely improved
    Roundabouts also feel amazing in comparison(feels like the car is a merry-go-round stuck to the road). Dan has already proven its worth during launching applications so i need not be
    redundant in explaining it"
    and mention that for the axle backlash, everything was 100% within spec with the two oem samples that Jon sent us, so we are not sure why there is this problem, but we will be looking into it

    Dan_Sac- In reference to BS & comments posted cutting you down for your contributions to testing Mfactory has informed me that you would rather wait for the revised LSD (with no according axel backlash) then continue any further testing at the time

    In which case it is brought to the rest of the members involved-
    Team MFactory says:
    we need to see if anyone else experienced an oil leak with dans diff
    This leaves the open position for "X" member who is willing to pick up dans spot & test to see if they as well have oil leaking issues.*note*(whomever resumes testing the prototype will not recieve another "NEW" LSD but merely new bolts & any internal gears/sections that are revised)- this will equate to form a correct LSD @ the minor expense of "some assembly required "- a joke for those whom are uptight currently
    Team MFactory says:
    yup
    obviously we'll send them new bolts when the time comes
    and if we modify any of the gears inside
    also if no axel stubs have been provided i'll pitchin some $$$ to help the shipping cause of getting some axel stubs to Mfactory & getting things straightened out.

    For those in the group buy, you may wish to order your speedometer drive gear from Mazda soon, so that you will have it when the diff arrives. The part number you will need is:

    G501-17-341A

    If you don't want to (or can't) deal with a local dealer, you can get it from Online Mazda Parts for $10.56 plus shipping. I've ordered parts from this dealer before and had good luck. Fast turnaround times and better prices than the local dealer.

      No problem. I'm glad to hear that the diff is performing well without leakage and noise for the other tester. That causes a bit of a predicament though, since Dan was having such problems with it...

        I have a old set of 26 spline axles. I can send the inner stubs should that be required
        I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

          only the drivers inner stubs are required. one of each 26/28 spline

          if you can ship one in nate, that would put us 50% closer then we were before PM jon & or Mfactory about where to ship it too

                  nate, i had a chat with brad.
                  Brad is aware he needs to keep his cool. i don't think there will be anymore outbursts from him.

                    Indeed Ryan, we talked and you have my word no more crap from me.

                    Glad to see some awesome progress on this! I also have a few 26 spline shafts if you need any spares.
