is there an LSD?

[cali yaris]

well I would definitely agree that this is a silly and expensive mod all by itself, but...

let's say I'm going s/c or turbo with a ported and polished head, standalone management (AEM, for argument's sake), and I"m going to combine the LSD with a lightweight flywheel and a stronger clutch while I've got the whole thing apart.

Starts to make more sense then, I think. And a project car is a project car -- IMO -- people put 50k into a used piece of junk to turn it into a racecar - why can't we with our $11,000 super-cute sporty liftback?

And your turbo'd p&p lightened car will make about 150 hp, right? Still doesn't make much sense. My opinion, I kept my 91 5.0 convertable to have fun with, spend money on, etc. I get more bang for the buck (much more), and still have my semi-sporty hatchback commuter to drive every day...with a full warranty

Another one of those "my way is right and yours is wrong" types. Thats just what we needed here!

Lets argue about why it is stupid to put money into a 1991 Mustang while we're at it...

just putting it out there... Cusco makes an LSD, and for those who know cusco they know its pretty amazing... Its something you could research...

That's your argument eh? What is your way then if mine is so bad?

As for arguing about why it's stupid to put money into a 91 Mustang, lets go ahead. I can put money into my Mustang and see results out of it. I mean, $300 for an exhaust gets me 15 hp that I can feel and use. $300 for an exhaust on a Yaris gets me less power where I need it, and a ton of non-appealing noise. I can't void a warranty on my Mustang, I don't worry about losing it as a daily driver due to down time to modify it. And when I decide to sell it (never ), I'll get more of a return for my mods than I would on a Yaris. Who wants a used modded yaris???

Your rebuttal?

OK.

Its a Ford.

I win.

Seriously, I'm not going to argue with you about why your theory on putting money into a 16 year old Ford is ridiculous. I don't disagree with your logic persay, but I do disagree with your logic that putting a limited slip in a brand new Yaris is dumb. To each his own sucka! If cali yaris wants to put a LSD in his ride, who are you to say its wrong? Post once about how you think its dumb, sure. Better yet, be coi and funny about it like Biggie. He is my favorite naysayer. You, however, were on naysaying post #3, and that is when we burn your ass to the ground. Especially cali, who has a 400 WHP tC. He isn't new to this. Stop talking to him like he is.

I enjoy you jumping in to defend him, especially since you think he needs no defense

I don't agree with it, but if you do want to re-read some posts, I did say that I'm very excited to see what the aftermarket can do with this car. Hopefully it can pick up a marketplace like the tC or my Mustang. As of now, I'll stop saying that a LSD makes no sense for the power that these cars can make. Thanks for burning my ass to the ground, I enjoyed it
