He can't. He's in the Army and has to pee in a cup. Unless he's in to "large" women.

I would call Andy's g/f the antithesis of "large". I think you are just projecting your love for "large" women onto Andy.

Re: Quaife LSD Update

This is a funny thread. That's awesome that the LSD fits in nicely. I can only imagine what it'll do for road course/auto cross events.

Re: Quaife LSD Update

Well, I'm still breaking everything in. Having some minor issues I need to fix. I'm getting the most annoying rattle at 3k from the right rear (something with the disc conversion), the front right brake squeaks a little, the speedo is bouncing all over the place (prolly a bad vss from the new tranny since it sat for who knows how long) and I'm breaking in the clutch so I don't glaze it over. And I'm not exactly "tuned" for the injectors I'm running. All good things come in time

Re: Quaife LSD Update

you should be able as long as it is the one for the fit but it won't be as nice as a torque biasing diff

Re: Quaife LSD Update

Don't buy obx unless you want problems. Get the real thing and save yourself the headache. And I happened to be searching around and found them for around 900 on honda-tech, so you can pick them up for cheaper than 1200 now the price has come down some.

I haven't gotten on it or anything but I ran for initial 15 minute break in with new motor and tranny and had no issues. It goes into gear and everything seems perfectly fine.

For those who've been waiting on me to see if it works, you now have your answer.

Stupid question but, the FIT speedometer gear is also needed???

You use the bearings that are already in the original transmission you just press them off the old diff and onto the new diff you can use the speedo gear off the d17 diff but it has to be pulled off with a bearing spiltter and then pressed onto the new diff It's not hard if you have the right tools or a machine shop I do recommend the honda fit speedo gear cause it gives a little more support around the bearing so that the center race does not flex that much.

Re: Quaife LSD Update

The speedometer gear of the d17 is removeable? I open my tranny and saw it made of cast metal, I think it was built-in the differential...

Re: Quaife LSD Update

No it's removable I have pulled it off before it's pressed on from the factory and looks like it is cast on but its not. It's not too hard to pull off you just have to be careful about it cause it is a thin piece of metal. I used a bearing splitter to get underneath on the sides and pop it up a bit and then used a gear puller on it to pull it off. Grab a big nut (I think I used the rear lower control arm nut to chasis. or the nut off the front strut to the knuckle) and drop it into the hole were the axle goes so you have something for the gear puller to push off of. Or if you have a big enough slide hammer use that. I think I have like 3 of those speedometer gear rings laying around back home off the diff's.
