ok so im in a position where i dont have a grand to drop on the TRD or Quaife LSD...
my tuner says the phantom grips work really good but u need to modify them a little bit for a perfect fit.. and OBX.. well.. the name says it all.. and i dont kno if i wanna trust OBX with something as big as my transmission..

what do you think?

 

Well phantom grip is just an insert into your lsd and itsn't really a real lsd. I don't have much experience with obx though.

 

you have to rebuild the OBX when you get it from what i've heard

 

Rebuild or just readjust? would be pretty retarded to sell something that requires a rebuild even though its new

 

i dunno be the first to try it lol. everyone always says i heard or i know someone etc. but i dont think there is one person on the forum that has done it. so all i am saying you will be the R/D for both phantom grip and OBX.. pretty much

 

not rebuild, but have the OBX throughly checked and taken apart before sticking it in, ive heard the biggest problems with them is the way they assemble them

i think you could get an OBX LSD and a spare tranny for less then the TRD LSD installed, lol

 

ya well im in the middle of a tranny swap so now is the time to act.. although the phantom grip isnt a true LSD u basically insert it and weld it in i am told.. it has worked great from the people i have talked to. and OBX is like i said.. OBX

 

when will the swap be done? its been a while now you have been collecting the parts.

 

ya.. waiting for a corolla to get outta julios garage to put mine in.. were all dying to get it over with.. waiting for a couple parts from toyota still.. nothing big just a slave cylinder and hydraulic lines.. im kinda wanting to try the phantom grip out... luiggi said he did it on some other cars before and its solid.

 

tha phantom grip isnt welded in, lol

its basically a metal sadwich with springs pushing them apart you have pins holding the sandwich together, then when its in place, you release the pins and the sandwich stays in place

what i have heard is that you might have to grind the top of the spider gears to get it to slip in snugly

let us know what you decide to go!

(im secretly hoping you use the OBX........think about it, youll be the first to take the leap, more will follow if youre succesful! LOL)

 

IF im successful.

 

^lol hoping you didnt catch that, lol

 

you never will know unless you try. hey i tryed a manifold and my turbo was to big to fit lol and it didnt work now waiting on another to see how it works. you wont know unless you try stuff.

 

i believe rick (raamaudio) used phantom grip for some time.

 

OBX IS COOL. I have their shift **** and it works wonders!

 

 

I have to say its worth it to get the TRD/Quaife (thats what I did, and dont regret it). It is the only true LSD, and on parts like that, dont cheap out lol

 

quaife FTW.....

 

og god

 

OBX LSD goes for 385$ damn thats pretty cheap though. but u do get wat u pay for
