Pretty sure it's an LSD, anyone got any info?

[tanshi]

what makes you think its an LSD. They are extreemely rare so i doubt it.

your going to have to give us more information. how can we tell you whats inside your diff???

[bh59]

Sorry mate the picture wouldn't post, it's got all the spider gears but in the middle there's a square block with 4 springs inside

[bh59]

Here it is

[tanshi]

might be one of those dodgey as fuck phantom grips, cant really see it properly

[atari4x4]

the old phantom locker... do a sirch, not much good is said about them.

[bh59]

Yer it's shit, not tight enough for me, only one wheel spins sometimes

[tanshi]

yep, general concensus is they suck.

Well on the website it is marketed as a limited slip not a locker.

"The Phantom Grip Limited Slip is a conversion kit that installs into your non-lsd differential converting it into a proven and competitive limited slip differential (LSD) that enhances your traction needs. Phantom Grip's 2-way LSD will considerably improve handling in daily driven, street/strip warrior, or full race vehicle."

Sounds like a pretty nifty device, and possibly provides an option for cars that LSD manufactures don't make an LSD for. But not much good for 4wding.

it would be a nifty device if it worked.

a quick google reveals lots of unhappy customers

Youve only got to compare the friction surface area to a proper LSD, not to mention spring forces to see these things are just a gimmick

Just cause somebody says it will do something on a website doesnt mean it can

[bh59]

If be more than willing to swap this magical device for a dirty old locker any day :p

[mrw82]

It's named the 'phantom' grip for a reason. Because you don't even know its there...

[losfer]

i'll buy it off you .. ill trade you a dirty old CIG locker

[superduki]

I run one in my GTi swift, and it has made it alot better for straight line launches (turbo'd). Losfer would know about them being a Redliner too. I doubt they'd be any chop in a 4wd, mine is ok on low boost around corners, but coming onto it, it will still rag one peg.

Cheers, Superduki.
