hey,
sorry to beat this to death but i feel liek everythign i read on here is contradicting itself... i jsut ordered a slp take-off zexel torsen (sp?) differential. how do they really work? alot of what i find now is about the new version too....
the more i read im nervous i got the wrong thing...

 

sorry accident hit enter...

i have a 1990 rs 305 tbi with i believe 2.73 open differnetial, right now. i would take the cover off as everyone says, but unfortunatly the car is 25 miles away at home and im stuch at college for 2-3 more weeks. i think what i want to end up at is 3.42 posi (shoudl i get 3.23? i want the extra acceleration but don't want my gas mileage to drop much, don't want a car getting 15-20 on teh highway..).... i figure i will look at ebay or a junkyard for the gears adn get the cheap slp take out and be set. its not like this is big racing, but i don't want a one wheel peel. it may never even see a track.... but i also don't what if i understand correctly is that one wheel slips, then the other, then continues to transfer even if you are goins straitwith your *** end flying back and forth... but im on a real college budget.... if i had whatever i wanted i think i would go with a mechanical locker i could control or a powertrax no-slip....

what should i get? did i get the wrong thing?(if so pease re asap so i can try to cancel) can i beat the price or get it and see how it feels? also , shoudl i consider biting the bullet and gettign the powertrax no-slip or sonethign more expensve?

one hting i like abotu the no-slip if i understand wright is that you don't ahve to set up gears and also it deon't go with only a specific carrier 2 or 3. that way i col dput it in right away , by myself and think about gears later... then i would only need to find the gearsand a three series open diff. in teh junk yeard and reinstall my powertrax.. are there ever deals? i think my version goes for $399.xx...

pease help out... i have honeslty been using the search and raeding all i can...

 

also i was thinkign abotu goign with one of teh install kits from advanceauto as my brother wors there and i codl porg get teh $90 one for 70 or the $118 (chicago something?) for under $100, much differnece if in not really racing( but i will prob have some fun.. )

 

ttt- please read/reply to ths one, not the one that i accidentally entered before i was finished...
thanks,
tj

 

looks like my slp take off really exists!, the rep form slp said that they are jsut waiting on the new paddle pins and
bolts because they were not shipped form the assembly plant...

yay!!!!
