    Well, since my vacation went a little to spend happy in the childrens game room, I'm a little tight on cash. So I proposed a deal with a few guys on the wibimmers chat! Snap, REKIII, Bassboi, Cyoungster. That if they purchase my diff fluid, I'll install the diff, mount up my other set of tires, grab my camera, and video tape a burnout till the tires blow.

    Well, Chris pulled through like a complete fawkin bawse. An said he'd be at my place this weekend dumping in diff fluid, and helping turn a wrench. Get ready for a burn out that looks like this-

        yeah, I'm excited. I gotta go out sometime, mount up these wheels and fully deflate the tires, to make sure when they blow, that I won't be dragging my frame/gas tank/ etc

                            If the brake pedal only controls the front brakes, you can hold down the brakes and roast the rears.  Otherwise to do a burnout you have to overcome the power of the rear brakes.

                              I'm saying what is "poor mans line lock"

                                I just explained what a line lock is.  Disconnecting the rear brakes is a way to do it (if done correctly) that is free but gets the basic same results as a line lock.

                                    Yeah man, alot's happened.

                                    The reason the LSD was deemed an "open diff" was because it's a clutch style LSD, the friction plates, aka "clutch" were so worn, that with the car in the air, spin one rear wheel, the other would spin the other way. yet when I would get stuck on ice, both tires would spin, I just deemed it a fucked up open diff. Till we dropped it.

                                    And also guys, disconnecting rear brakes is pointless, as the brake bias is usually 65% front, 35% rear. Even then, why would I disconnect them? I could just close the lines at the brake T's

                                      So, these are the gears I broke on the LSD.

                                      KaazLSD.jpg

                                      Clearly not a KAAZ LSD. Those are $1400 starting.
