He as cool but when I finally made my decision to buy he was on vacation and the young punk they stuck me with was a sorry piece of crap. If I had not talked to Pat before, I would have not bought my car. Maybe I don't open my mouth enough to cause trouble?
Just a random question, has anyone in this area bought and installed the LSD for the tC? IF so where did you get it done, etc etc. I'm thinking it might be worth it. Anyone can feel free to chime in.

depending on the price and your power at the wheels usually there used on RWD
if you have a stick you can always slip the clutch to launch, then in that case you should be fine
unless your looking to auto X in that case its good to control inside wheel spin
or you can get a clutch type LS but i dont know if they make them for the TC

LSDs are so not fun to install in a fwd, I know that from experience, it was alot more fun installing one in the rear diff of a subaru though, fwd cars just suck to work on.

thats why i was wondering if its even worth it for the price
I was thinking for added traction in general. My driving habits vary a lot, from commuting to beating the ____ out of it in turns. TRD/Quaife has a unit out for $1,099. I have helped my friend do the clutch on his 93 SE-R a couple times. The second time he snapped a half shaft inside the LSD and had to swap in a new one. (at the time easier than disassembling the current diff) I was just wondering if anyone in the area had it or not. Maybe I'll have to bit the bullet or wait for a major event where I might find another owner with LSD. Yea for 2 days till the meet!!!

If you've ever driven a fwd car with one and without one, you should already know how much better they are, it's just is it worth $1k+ labor for a 160hp car? If you ever plan on going FI or taking it on a real race track, then it would be worth it, otherwise it probably isn't.
