Erroneous. I launched mine for 2-3 autocross events at between 6-8k RPM with 265/40 direzza sports and an exedy hyper single...and then would kick the clutch in 1st to get the car to rotate thru a tight gate.

I've done a 45 second long burn out. I've been to the drag strip. I launch the car for fun at 6+k. I love donuts. I also track the car often.


Original AP1 diff. 41k miles. No issues. Err....its a little clunky at times lol. But not sure if those are the axles...

 

congrats, and i hope you kicked your cousin in the balls

 

Absolutely nothing. The comment before mine mentioned 'PuddyMod>DriverMod'. I was just pointing out that having a stronger diff is not more important than knowing how to drive.

 

Plenty of other cars have problems. Look up the rear end issues with 1993-2002 GM F-Bodies. They are so bad that a 12-bolt or 9" rear end is a prerequisite to speed. Your Diff WILL fail in those cars, it's just a matter of when.

 

Ok, stupid n00b question. I had a gs-r prior, therefore no diff. What does it do when it's busted like this? Do you just hear gears grinding as you move? does it lock up so the wheels don't spin? Basically, how did you know it was the diff.

 

it could lock up depending on how it breaks, or just spin free so you don't move. It might even clunk along if only a couple of teeth broke but it wouldn't be long before it completely died.

 

lol so basically you'd know something was ####ed up with your ride

 

That's why it blew haha. Can't launch from 4500 with this car. Gonna blow it frequently if doing that.
But yeah it is a weak diff but holds fine if you launch the car correctly.

 

so its either get hit crossing traffic or do a burnout across the road...

great, thanks honda

 

no... it's either do burnout across the road, or wait patiently, or make a right, then make u-turn then make another right.
