anyone have input? All I've seen are the helical ones... this is much cheaper, so I assume its a lesser product....

Aww man... I expected more from you Ryan.

It's like the phantom grip or whatever they were called.

Phantom grips arent worth pulling the tranny for. Those
helical LSD's from Mfactory arent working as well as people
had hoped. Ive read some crappy things about them on
clubprotege and imazda.

LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann in 1938 from ergot, a grain fungus that typically grows on rye. The short form LSD comes from its early code name LSD-25, which is an abbreviation for the German "Lysergsäure-diethylamid" followed by a sequential number.[3][4] LSD is sensitive to oxygen, ultraviolet light, and chlorine, especially in solution, though its potency may last for years if it is stored away from light and moisture at low temperature. In pure form it is a colourless, odourless, and mildly bitter solid.[5] LSD is typically delivered orally, usually on a substrate such as absorbent blotter paper, a sugar cube, or gelatin. In its liquid form, it can be administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection. The threshold dosage level needed to cause a psychoactive effect on humans is between 20 and 30 µg (micrograms

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Window pane, bullfrog or orange barrell. Stay away from the black blotter, you'll be mis shifting long time on that.

Call around to some JDM dealers. Nitefire got one with his KLZE by accident. Nice accident eh?

i don't understand why people say phantomgrips are crap....yet i am one of the few from the car clubs with one and it works pretty damn good for a 300 lsd. i've upgraded the springs when i bought it and i have beat the living hell out of the thing and it still holds, never lost traction or had any problems. i would say this was one of my best purchases and i have had this running for four years now. in fact i like it so much it is getting put into the 323 while the mx3 is getting a fresh tranny with the m-factory unit i have sitting on the shelf.

:shock: Had a search there, couldn't find anything?

I'd be shocked if something that's essentially a Quaiffe was crap, MFactory seem to get rave reviews elsewhere.

The down talking was about axle play / axle lash. Im trying to dig up where
I found that, was a few weeks back now.

Edit: Maybe its been rectified, someone has a 2.5mm axle play measurement
and that is within specs. As such I cant find what I was talking about and
retract my previous statement about crappyness. I'll link to things like that
if I find them again, whether they are pro or con. I expect them to be pro
at this point.

There was a problem w/ axle play that they found in the test car, but they fixed it.
