MFactory LSD group buy discussion thread

[therieldeal]

thats the 5th gear cover, your reverse gears are inside the case...

[Hadoken]

I received mine today, thanks again MFactory. I opened up the box to check it out and quickly had to put it away since my pants were becoming too small to be comfortable.

Okay so for the bearings, you take them to a shop and have them press the bearings on, and that is the ONLY mod need for this install? If not, what else needs to be done?

[Inspector 24]

It's in!! So far so good. It's definitely working, and there is absolutely zero axle play, it's a complete non-issue.

I've been driving it around to break the clutch in and 75 miles and no issues.

How well it performs under race duty will have to wait until Sunday. A day of Autocrossing will be very revealing :D

[MFactory]

Just realized you're from SLC. We have our big $10K race at RMR next weekend, and I'll be flying in middle of the week

[Inspector 24]

Bummer, I'll be in Colorado Racing.

Wait...You're from Clinton? Small world.

I'd like to thank you in person some time. Perhaps a track day at Miller?

[MFactory]

Our sales guy is from Utah (and our postal address). We're actually just setting up a workshop just now in LA though.

I'll prob be flying in around the 31st, as the race is on the 31st/1st.

[Inspector 24]

Ah, yeah I'll miss you completely.

Do you know a guy named Courtney Green?

[jesiotrot]

Well done to you guys that have them installed already! Best thing i ever did to my car was install the helical LSD.

[MFactory]

Yeah, Cort is part of our team (he tunes our cars)

Yup, I don't doubt for a minute that everyone will immediately notice the difference after installing an LSD.

[Inspector 24]

I'm not surprised. His name is synonymous with speed in SLC. Anybody who knows anything about racing knows of him.

I'm definitely noticing a difference. The previous unit was an OPM I had been running for almost two years. I figured it was time to freshen it up, and then along came you. So far so good.

Street Driving doesn't reveal much. I'm really anxious to see how it will perform in under autocross/track conditions. Fortunately there's a race tomorrow

you need to drive harder then ryan

[Inspector 24]

Yeah, I got over driving aggressively on the street a few years ago.

Honestly, the thought of driving anywhere nearly as aggressive as when I autocross scares me. One little patch of gravel. Gone. One idiot driver. Gone. Pothole? Person? Kitty? Yeah, too many variables.

Though I did get pulled over last night. The officer heard the car, didn't see any exhaust coming out the back, thought I didn't have a muffler. I told him it exited the side and there was definitely a Muffler, told him it's primarily a weekend race car and I'm just out breaking in the clutch, checked my licence, insurance, said cool car, have fun be safe and went on his way.

Funny thing is, at the next light he lit up a guy for running the red!

[wheresthericego]

I got my diff tuesday but was out of town for a week. I must say it is a very sexy piece.

[mazda-dude]

So.....whats the progress on the install? dying to hear, if the diff lives up to our expectations. Personally i wont have time before winter to install it, which is a long time. so i am very curious to hear from others
