I used to have a built B16A in my CRX a few years back, it was rear ended and totalled within a short time. Now i'm putting the engine in my del sol with some new parts and a shorter transmission..

The problem is when the engine was in my CRX I had serious traction problems.. So i'm thinking about getting an LSD or traction bars, but I can only afford one or the other right now.. Which would be the better bang for the buck?

LSD = traction during turns and whatnot
Traction Bar = traction right off the line

Having a stiffer suspension really helps too.

what type of traction problems where you having.

loss of tractions in 1st and most of 2nd at full throttle, even from a good launch or from a 1st gear roll

the bars will definately help, as well as some really sticky tires.

yeah get some sticky tires. i hear the azenis are AWSOME.

stiff bushings and sticky tires. IMO, "traction bars" sort of make up for sloppy bushings. there's not real magic about them.
