go with quaife at least you know you won't have to replace it. If you figure that if anything goes wrong with the obx it can cost you a trans, then you might as well have gone for the quaife in the first place. I know from experience I had a crap lsd and when it went it fell into pieces and ended up ruining the tranny case and a lot of other crap. Now I have a quaife and could not be happier.

A few non LSD tranny's are stil cheaper then a quaife though...

I guess only time will tell how these obx lsd's hold up, and since they don't offer an H-series one yet, and I am still saving for a quaife, this will give me time to watch some realworld testing on these at the track.

Yeah, forget that turbo setup and swap. Go buy a Quaife. Enjoy LSD @ 90hp. Drop all your high HP performance plans. Honestly I think most car parts are overpriced or overhyped. If in the future the OBX does stand the test of time, what will people have to say about the OBX? Same thing they're saying now "You get what you pay for". You realize that even expensive parts have problems too. They're not devoid of them. In the computer world, tell that to the people that buy LCD Flat panels with less than 5 dead pixels on their $800 screen. Did they get what they paid for? Nope. Same goes for a lot of exhaust systems or other car parts. You spend shitloads of money only for the manufacturer to not warranty the part due to defect. They tell you to live with it. That phrase needs to get phased out.

They look very similar to the quaife and w/ a lifetime warranty you can't beat it for the price. IMHO, I think Quaife will be lowering their prices drastically within the next year because of OBX. Oh yeah, Underpressure02, Nice meeting you this weekend BTW and your car is Genius .

that would be good if quaife did lower down their price. if that happens i'll be getting me one.

There is supposed to be a pin there. If it is an open hole, the pin fell out. The same thing happened to the OBX I took apart.
