In a high HP FWD car LSD can be a life saver. Everyone who I give a ride is scared crapless..... not because my car is so ohh my god fast..... but a little thing called torque steer!!! and I have a quaife. Without LSD you will be all over the road!!!!

I know what you are trying to say but it does not sound right.

LSD never makes you a good driver.

Without LSD one wheel grabs.... so it pulls you that way.... then it loses traction and the other grabs.... so it pulls you that way....... and back and forth you go. Without LSD its damn near uncontrollable. In really fast FWD cars it still happens with LSD, just not nearly as much. I bet you have never driven a high HP FWD car before. Deosn't matter how good of a driver you are. I will tell just about anyone here.... if I let you drive my car on full boost. You will either bitch out and let off, or you will crash. The back end getting away from you is nothing compared to the drive and steering wheels pulling you back and forth from lane to lane. Torque Steer is something you have to get used to.

I understand. The drug LSD does not make you drive better. Bad joke on my part.

I can see how defesive you are due to trying to earn respect with a Honda, thats a tough job on any doestic forum Im sure.

The fact that his is a MAJOR sleeper... he's said time and time again that he's gonna build a high-hp LSx car whenever he gets the chance.

I loved my car because it was the ultimate sleeper. I don't anymore!!! It was fun as hell two years ago when I was spanking everyone, but now everyone has stepped up their game, and I'm at the limit of FWD street performance. At 32 pounds my car would spin all the way through 5th. We coudn't even street tune it. More power does me no good. I wish I built on a better platform now because all my money is sunk into this bitch. I'll still have fun breaking off the occasional old man who doesn't know any better. Maybe god willing I can find an idiot to give me 30 g's for all the crap I have. I have the money to get a vette or a new camaro. I just don't have the money to send it to lingenfelter.

Interesting..i say headers/ory/lid and a tune / tuneup will take care of this civic. Also, where in mexico are you guys?

Did you already buy SLP headers?...heard lots of bad things about them. Slightly off topic

p.s. civics suck

It might not... there was an AWD Integra model offered in Japan (and possibly Europe?), so if the floorpan isn't already prepped for a driveshaft, it might not be that complicated/expensive.

you should ask the guy that owns it. He's on here, tho it probably is expensive, but if it was me, since you already got a bad *** engine, why not just do a rwd conversion
