waiting on answer from mugan. phantom is out and nobody has any zc lsd trannies . over 1200.00 for a lsd is to much for a car that gets driven two days a week at that. sounds good but not now i guess. new head sounds better. my si trans has over 180,000 on it and grinds in second. maybe zc-si hybrid trans or i just run it as is and save the money and keep looking. phantom sounded a little dodgy. so thanks this has been the most help that i have received on this site. anybody no anything about willwood 11" 4 piston front brakeset? The k car was **** but saved dodge. Whether or not this is a good thing, look what they did to the mercedes sprinter. what about but budvar and chechvar>stella 5%>4% just kidding stella isnt bad

 

Just use the regular LSD, change the axles and axle seals, done. I'm using an L3 case with the 90-95 d-series OBX LSD, Si axle seals and axles.

 

thats what i said awhile ago. don't no about the zc half shaft, but i am over it. maybee another jdm zc lsd will come up on e-bay and i won't loose it by $5.

 

why, so you can have a weaker, used differential, and a rare axle that is inconvenient to replace?

The halfshaft axle set-up does have some advantages over the long/short axle set-up, (ie: less torque steer) but all of these advantages don't matter when you have LSD.

OBX LSD w/ regular USDM axles will be cheaper, stronger, and easier.

 

i have considered that set up also. my si trans has seen better days. what does a good used si L3 go for? i think it will need more than syncros than again i have never rebuilt a tranny or had one rebuilt before. I also sold my si axles years ago, and had marty at raxles make me axles for the zc. I think rebuilds are worthless. Thanks though you have made the most sense so far. There is no cheap easy way around this. I had to sell my scirocco 16v tranny for 50 bucks on craigslist. So i guess deals are around. I can fly to europe for cheaper price than buying a used 50mm intake manifold for the same car. So i guess i cant complain about honda parts being expensive. The obx has been good to you?

 

obx is a copy of quaiffe, they've revised it about 3 times, and it's gotten better each time. the newest ones have no problems.

I always recommend OBX LSD's. I would use the ZC/L3 trans with a 4.25 final drive, I had that in my CRX, it was great (although I used the Si .771 5th gear.)

 

thanks, i have to much time on my hands. Once i start driving the thing in the spring i will forget about all these tranny woes. Besides the zc is already in the car. I will however save my si trans and do something with them later on i guess. Its pretty quick for a zc though. My friend just got a new 335i. Not that quick but i'd still run him on a backroad.
