Does anyone know where would be the best place to get one of these? They seem relatively inexpensive so I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Any advice would be cool.

they have this combo thats nice
clutchmasters stage 3
and light flywheel
phantom lsd for 869

but its 260 there

 

well ill tell you this...my friend destroyed his tranny with one of these. he got to drive the car once after he put it in. he did one burnout at the track and then he staged, reved it up dropped the clutch and destroyed the tranny, he went absolutely nowhere, he had to get the car towed...1800 later he has a itr tranny.

 

they dont call it the Phantom Slip for nothing.

 

Same your money and get a Quaife or Kaaz.

 

I say save your money and buy a whole ITR tranny which already comes with a LSD and shorter gears!

 

it`s poop

 

I've only heard bad things about the Phantom Grip

 

I wouldn't say it's poop, but there are far better alternatives out there.

Most people think it's a limited slip, and it's not.

So if you're looking for a limited slip, don't buy this.

If you plan on drag racing with slicks, don't buy this.

If you can't afford a true LSD, and don't plan on using slicks at the track, and just want a bit more bite out of your 1 tire fryer.......

Buy this

 

Looks like a cheap item trying to pass off as a more expensive one.

 

Learn to tune tire psi. Way better than any Phantom Slip.

 

phantom grip sux ***!!

 

alot of people on here have had no direct knowledge with the phantom grip. it really isnt that bad.

It is not a LSD

do some more research. not just here but on other boards as well

dsm.org
maybe some celica site

 

crap... less half-assing is your style... quaife lowered their prices awhile back also

 

we need more first person opinions..........

 

Think about the design and you'll understand why it won't work.

Little spring force. I compressed the springs with just hand pressure.
Metal to metal plates in a bath of oil, very low friction.
No clutch plates. The OPM setup uses similiar setup but with clutches to grip.
OPM doesn't suggest using their diff for drag racing, it provides about 25-30% lockup of what t true LSD does. This is enough for road racers, which the OPM is designed for.
I won't even get into the sideloading of the spider gears.

I did my research and spent about $100 on phone bills calling OPM in GA and Jamie Houseman in CAN.

 

bottom line.....

you get what you pay for.

 

agreed, anybody have one installed?
