wsup, i noticed that is VERY easy to break rear wheel traction with my s14. It has NO LSD....... therefore, when i get my LSD, would this help fix the problem, or is my problem due to something like hydroplaning where there is NO traction available??

just dont punch it as hard. if you get lsd and you try to do that in the rain (or anywhere for that matter) youll probably end up blowing it sideways and fishtailing into a telephone pole. if you want more traction in the rain, yes the LSD would help, but get some nice rain tires to go with it.

Just don't drive like a maniac. :) I've had my 240 for about 2.5 months now and haven't once unintentially lost traction, even in the rain and/or at high speeds.

I got a Phantom Grip and the new Yokohama AVS's on all 4s, and i only spin when the road isnt very wet, just a little bit of water down, and only when on rough, uneven pavement, or when i am going around a sharp corner. But intentionally, When I shift into 2nd and get into it, i can drive sideways.

P.S. Anyone got a stock KA Flywheel they wanna sell me?
