Just like their Vortec based superchargers. We see where that has gone. FTL!!!
Maybe it will be a factory option. I wonder why Quaife would sell us out like that.

Has to be lack of sales. It was an expensive upgrade and a difficult install. Labor can cost almost as much as the part. Now if it does become a factory option, people can finance it and have it factory installed with a warranty. It will be good for Scion's reputation, but sucks for us.

Nice job TRD. NOT!!!

I wouldn't mind this if they ACTUALLY released it, but so far this blows, because now my plans are ruined. I bet they're gonna make a JDM version of the tC and release this only in Japan.

I don't know if the Quaife was a 1 way, 1.5 way, or 2 way LSD, but Kaaz only offers LSDs in 1.5 way or 2 way trim. That's no good for front wheel driver cars, at least that's not what I would want.

Are you sure any differential that fits the SW20/MR2 will fit our tranny? Because Cusco makes 1-way LSDs for the SW20.

The car should come with LSD stock. Yeah, yeah, big $$$, but the tC really needs it.

I think it was already priced very close to that. Through TRD it will probably be over $1,000.

Dodge added another $1,500 on the srt-4 when they added the LSD to all the '04 model.

But the quaife makes so much of a difference. Its worth it. Although I have terrible torque steer. Its about pulled me into ditches many times. I drove my buddys 03 srt4 that doesnt have it and it was a noticable difference than my 04'with it.

i think he meant it was going to be +$800 over the current retail price of $1200 i think it was.
