GI: Affordable Helical LSD's for the G-series!!

[XelderX]

Not to get too off topic, but do you have more info somewhere of your car setup?

All 39 pages of the build starting 2 years ago. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showt...hp?t=123669982

PM me for anything specific.

Any chance that since the LSD isn't the problem and it lasted 50 dyno pulls and a hard launch, that IF we choose to do so, we can get our LSD now? I'm willing to take the chance.

[therieldeal]

i'm pretty sure they will all get run as a batch (as they are CNC cut) so making one ahead of time would be unlikely.

[ZX2guy19]

I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would be willing to do it.

[ragnarock01]

I think that's up to MFactory, and he'll probably wait until Dan can get a real run before giving it the green-light. Though I agree, after all that abuse there doesn't seem to be a good reason to think the LSD can't take it.

Since Dan's problem isn't as catastrophic as feared, I say we all just be patient and wait for a few drag runs to make sure.

[ZX2guy19]

And while I agree with that, it is going to be at least another month before Dan can test it, and then at LEAST another month for production. That is two more months, making this not ready to AT THE EARLIEST, June. I understand stuff takes time, but come on now, we started this group buy in September. 9 months?

I think we should take a vote, the LSD is obviously worthy, I mean, to hold up to the numbers Dan is putting down, none of us are even close to him, we know it can take it.

In my book, the LSD passed.

Stop posting. The LSD needs testing, it is untested. Should it fail in a year mFactory will be liable for giving you one. Whats another 2 months?
BTW: Stop posting in this thread

5,000 runs on a dyno are worthless to testing an LSD, wanna no why? Because both wheels always spin at the exact same speed!


again, i repeat.. contact any driveline automotive company and get a quote on testing time

This is a hard situation, this one...

I can understand both sides of people's opinion.

I can understand that a sweet component like this needs proper testing. Like all other prototypes in this world.

People that have a running car, dont need it so much, other that they just looking forward to get their new toy.

But others are maybe waiting for this, to get their project car etc. on the road.

Speaking for myself 3 months ago i borrowed my friends garage, pulled up the engine+trans did the rebuild and has pretty much since waited for the lsd. At that time i said that i have to use the garage for max 3 month. Time has passed and my headache is now where i should put my car from next week. Which is pretty messed up.

Just to share

But im positive, and really looking forward to receive my toys.

[FE3-323]

do we really have to start in on this AGAIN??? we've already wasted several pages of peoples opinions & comments. & we certainly don't need to single people out

Dan, im curious for pictures of the broken bits you could even add them to the zoom zoom boom section if you want.
have you spun the input shaft & check the trans fulid for any abnormal metal flakes & such?
Have you opened the case again?

[therieldeal]

i dont know how many times i mentioned that there could easily be setbacks, and any time estimates that were given were just that, estimates.

for anyone planning their build around the completion of this project, i'm sorry its taking so long - BUT you should really have not assumed it would be finished exactly on time. when you assume it makes an ass out of you and me. throw in a stock tranny so you can drive the car... when the lsd comes in pull the tranny, install the lsd, and you're on your way. even better, have a spare trans on hand to put the lsd in...

No way, is that why I ****ing said that a few posts up and no one responded to it? I have a spare transmission, but I'm not going to put it in and take it down 2 days later, that is why I asked for any time frame.


Any to whoever said to stop posting in this thread, except Corby, go **** yourself.

[therieldeal]

it sounded like you had it under control - 1 month was the estimate i was given for production, another month for Dan to test seems like a generous estimate. since the tranny itself didnt break, i'm hoping he'll have it tested before then.

btw... 50 dyno pulls, one burnout, and a broken axle/clutch are hardly a sufficient test in my book - and i'm sure MFactory would agree, since they are the ones warrantying them against defects .

[ZX2guy19]

From what I've read, there is no expressed warranties on these.
