Yea Mike (RedFD} posted somewhere saying that it goes chirp..chirp..chirp as taking slow gears.
Not sure If that would suck or not . I'd ahve to drive it for myself. I like my car to cut loose personally... I'm just getting good at drifting..

LSD

I have used so many LSDs.
KAAZ, MazdaSpeed, Amemiya, Shuretrack, Quiff, Cusco...
If you want to get high lock up torque, you have to stand big chattering noise.
But Cusco has less noise and big torque but expensive.
I like Cusco and use it now.
If the noise and viblation are apparently different from the normal chattering.
There can be two kinds of problem.

1. Check the diff mount rubber bush.
All the rubber bushes by Mazda are very weak.
They are easy to crack.

2. Check the power plant flame.
But it is very difficult to find the crack on the PPF.

I like it a lot. The noise isnt bad at all. I took off the other day and got NO wheelhope in the 1st-2nd transision and loads of traction!!!!! I still havent tried to launch with it but it is definitely noticable. Works very well in the turns too like Ryan said. I saw somewhere that there is a way to take the diff brace(with bushings in it) off without taking much off the car but I couldnt find the writeup. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ryan do you think that bearing still needs replaced?
