I'm beginning to master the peg-leg, hehe

The more I practice, the more used to it I get, as with anything. I'm getting good with this stupid peg-leg...But, its useless anyway, I am getting a vlsd soon. But, its fun to whip it around anyway. Who else is good with the one wheeler 240?

I don't mind it, but I'd rather have more than one tire spinning. It would make getting sideways just that much easier.

I hate not having a LSD. Grip driving is no fun peg leg. I am having to think long and hard on what route I want to go. August I can afford a clutch type, but I can have a VLSD now. I may just get the VLSD ASAP and sell it when I can afford the real LSD later on.

Meh. I thought about getting VLSD's at the scrap before, but right now I don't got the time for it I go to school then work after school. If I decide to go to the scrap and get some I'll make a post.

VLSD isn't much, both tires spin once it's been warmed up, but it's really slow to react and becomes an annoyance on a hard launch sometimes. I'm thinking of getting a Spec V LSD, as it is helical, but I guess that wouldn't work for you 240 guys.

Some vlsd's are kinda finacky, but all the ones I have had experience with have been amazing. The minute the tires spin, both of them are lighting it up. No hesitation. Well, maybe it doesn't seem like there is any hesitation because I am used to just one wheel unlocking. But, man its so great having both spin.

That may be it, FWD is the lameness. Tires don't burn, they chirp for hours, and they chirp EVERY TIME I pull out in traffic. It's painful.

Well, yeah, but getting younger than me takes talent, as most people's siblings aren't more than a couple of years younger than themselves and 99.9% of NICO is older than I.

Yeah, but you don't drive a car that shows young'ness. 240SXs are damn near impossible to find... oh well, I got "The Beast," at least I can't kill myself with it.

AND it was free to me, can't forget that part.
