It stops the inside wheel from spinning so much when you get on the gas in a corner. It won't help much if you're running near-stock levels of power.

What Autocross class are you running in?

Start by getting rid of your friends, they're heavy.

Radio, power steering, ac, wheels, gutted/CF hood, gutted trunk, spare tire, bumper supports together could get you 150 lbs.

You didn't mention what class of autocross you're aiming for.

Chris, im disapointed in you. the guys is a noob, and he doesn't need a lsd. what he needs is SEAT TIME. sorry for the yelling but that's what he needs.

You're absolutely right.

B16 in a 91 Si, welcome to Street Mod...
And in such a class, the best mod would be a set of 275/35-15 Hoosiers for the front on a set of 15x11s.

That said, statements such as

will make many people in this forum refuse to help and/or answer questions. We do not condone illegal and dangerous driving on public roads. (Crap, now I feel like an old fart for writing that.)

 

ya thats sort of why i want to get into real autocrossing it is real dangerous and i am sort of scared of it but i am not stupid about it i only do it by myself and at limne 2 in the morning so there is no one else out

 

GO to an actual event and talk to the veterans there, they will help you. get some ride alongs, pick up a book lol etc

 

ok then i will do but the autocrosses are shut down for the year so i will have to next year
