A couple days ago with yet another NICO meet with track day looming, I figured I'd NEED an LSD.

So a friend of mine (joel aka gsr778 on NICO who has helped me out a lot with my car) said he likes this shop and they could get me one for a good price.

We called, yes they could get me a Kaaz, but only in 3 weeks and for $1150 installed (for $200 install fee).

Not a bad price I thought, and I had him on the way home drop off $$ to buy it.

But 10 minutes later I am thinking : "Oh no this is crazy! Here I am buying something and I am not buying it from a NICO sponsor!!"..:bash

So next morning, got money back from the guy, (he hadn't ordered yet) and promised to do the install with him (prob pay an extra 50 or so I guess cuz didnt buy part from him).

But he was cool with it and I explained the thing with the sponsors and that he is still getting some mechanical bisness from me.

We have a good relationship with this shop as I got a bunch smaller itmes installed/bought, there before.

Afterwards I went ahead and order this nismo LSD from our newest sponsor : http://optionimports.com/clfllsd.html

Less money, even if you add up the install and I can get it in 10 days instead of 3 weeks!

So I was able to go with a NICO sponsor, saved money <and> got faster delivery!!! :fruit

There is a lesson for all of us in here..;)

Im quite positive its not vlsd, but I dont think its clutch type like Kaaz either (very guessy on this). I personally picked up my Kaaz 2-way from Trix racing. Its so nice to have a company not located in Cali so the damn 8.025 tax doesnt continually kick my ***.

No thank you guys for having them as a sponsor. If it wasnt for you guys if probably end up driving an hour to kaaz. They quoted me 995, but 10% off, but then tax will almost jump that right back.
