Hey guys, well i talked to obx a few times and it looks like they are scheduled for a release in the end of january
If you didnt know, they make lsd's for acuras and hondas already, been for a while.
I have researched this and they have had all positive feedback so far and everyone that has them, likes them
There is a main guy on there, who is making 536whp and runs 10s and has one, and i just found out he is a local guy to me who we meet up with regularly on the weekends for cruising/racing, i just didnt know he was running one.
He has over 12000 miles on it, 80 passes, on slicks. I spoke with him and so far he has good feedback, he has broken driveshafts and 3 times he broke 3rd gear, but the diff is still chuggin along, so it seems like a good product.
This diff looks identical to the quaife and looks and feels just as beefy. There are dozens of honda guys already running them and no one has had a problem yet, and i have seen this guy at the track a few times and he drives hard.
Launches near redline, on 24.5 slicks off the bottle, on which he makes a bit over 600whp, runs consistently in the 10.7s at over 135mph
Dave at obx says they are looking to have it done at the end of juanuary
I only became interested because i am in a group buy for this lsd for my 99 neon ACR road race car, since they are starting to make them for 95-99 neons as well, and i needed a cheaper alternative to the pricey quaife.
There are over 60 of us in the group buy.
The honda guys get these lsd's for a tad under $400 so this is almost 1/3 the price of the quaife.
Some people question the quality because of the price, so far i have read nothing but good feedback.
You must also remember, quaife USA has to buy lsd's from quaife Europe, so its going through 2 middle men, its like they are not the same company. This is why quaifes for european cars, IN europe are much cheaper, i know, i am in europe now.
The quality of the obx lsd's seems to be good from what i hear, they are made from forged chromoly steel and they are outsourced to companies who are in the differential business, so its not like obx makes them inhouse
I just wanted to post this and see what kind of feedback we can get...us FWD people need some sort of way to put traction down, and most of us are too scared to run slicks on a stock diff....so this kind of info is always good to hear
