ok so i guess 1.49mm is a winner, but how is the feeling of the vlsd, does it feel like a weld or a clutch lsd

wow....for real..... now i can't wait but what size is good for drifting, dd, and raining days.................sorry for all of the questions, its just for future searching

Post by **Chris28** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 7:26 pm

I'm gonna go with the biggest one and use just it. I called the dealership the other day and they had it in stock, so going with that.

I do the occasional rainy day drift as well, the biggest size seems to be perfect for that.

Post by **Razi** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 7:30 pm

I can slide well in the rain with an open diff.You probably don't need the biggest one to drift in the rain, for dry pavement though, you probably might.

are you asking what 3 sizes for those 3 driving conditions, or one size for all, cuz i already answered that? everything i found was in the link i posted when i first mentioned diff shimming.

i do have a little update to post, but i'm in class right now so it'll have to wait. its a very fun update though, so check back

Post by **hbpignosePA** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:48 pm

sounds good man... cant wait to see it

you get any time off over easter? i think thats when ill finish alot of my stuff.

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:17 pm

yeah i have a few days off but i'll probably end up working, we'll see what happens though.

i spent last friday taking some time to strip the black car. my brother gave me a hand and we grabbed the usable parts off of it. One of the main jobs was grabbing the front subframe for keegan. and here it is ready to be picked up

as you might have guessed the car sat really funny with no front sub frame

look really empty now

all thats left to remove is the rear hatch with wing, wiring for power options, type x side skirts and rear valences and the 180sx rear qp glass. i also have a few things to grab for nico member, but at this point its basically a big trash can lol. i moved the car forward to broom up all the crap under the car, and snapped a few shots of its funny stance.

we also had some fun vandalizing the car while we were at it.

took a hammer to the rear bumper

and kicked in the rear qp

aaaaaaaaaand "tinted" the windshield with semi gloss black and manged to jam the can of paint through the glass.

after i had some fun i pulled the sideskirts while i still had a little daylight.

theres a little rust on the d side rocker panel, but not where i need to cut a piece from.

one last little thing, heres the ac delete plug installed

we'll see what happens next, my bov flange comes in tomorrow

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:26 pm

Post by **Idahos13** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:35 pm

HA , The other car is coming along great , I wish I had enough money to fix my 93 hatch up nice!

could i get a few parts off your car before it gets scrapped?

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:47 pm

absolutely, hit me up on here or email with what you need

Post by **Didderson** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:00 pm

I feel bad for it. QQ your old favorite baby is now a neglected child because he kept smacking himself in the head!

Are you gonna save those old tires for a fun break in time?

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:08 pm

hey the black s13 did it to itself by rusting. and no the tires are staying on, it has to roll somehow

hey can you post that link up again please

Post by **White Comet** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:31 pm

i'll have to look for it again in the meantime heres a pretty meaningless update. i got my steel bov flange from frsport today. which means i can finally get it welded to the cold pipe and send the alum flange back.

Post by **heartofaskyline** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 10:08 am

i sent you an email about those parts, did you get it?

Post by **White Comet** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:00 pm

yes i did, but i need to read it again. maybe it was just me, but the descriptions were confusing and i wasnt sure what exactly you meant. i'll read through it again though

Post by **heartofaskyline** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 8:52 pm

i think i was kinda drunk when i typed it. but then agian. im kinda drunk right now. ill send ya one back in the morning thats more descriptive and maybe a few pics too
