Went to the track today and the best way I can describe the feel of the LSD being built with Guards internals is the DRAMA I had prior in the corners has gone away. The power is getting to the rear wheels nicely now.

Rovman

Yep, same here. Really settled the car under hard braking and really allows you to exploit the rear engine configuration by putting amazing amount of Horse Power to the ground when firing out of corners.

Beautiful.....

I have heard similar stories and have been in a 6GT3 that has had it done and it seemed very composed in the corners. I haven't driven my 6GT3 hard enough yet to notice any issues so either mine has been done or I'm just not pushing it hard enough yet. What is the turn around time for getting this rebuild done?

Rovman

I want to say it was a 4 or 5 day turn a round at Guard. Pretty quick and then The labor to pull the engine/ tranny out and back in. I had tons of other work done when I had my LSD redone so not sure on the in and out timing.

Hey TG. Good for you! You liked mine so much you had to do it...

How much time did you drop?

I just pulled my exhaust and installed Fabspeed by pass, dropped 50 lbs in the rear and sounds like a cup car. Talk to Tor, saw him at C&C today.

(sorry about the hijack)

Glad you guys are happy.

I offer 2 day turnaround if you schedule it with me. If you ship it blind without notice and I am back ordered on parts or out of town at a race like I am right now, I make no guarantees. I hate to see cars disabled and then sit, so please always call and talk to me BEFORE your car gets taken apart.

Regards,

Matt

Wow, 2 day turn around. Can't ask for better than that. I may have quoted the wrong turn around time. Apologies!!!

Matt knew some local folks in San Antonio who specialize in Porsche from past racing days and I took the car to them on a Monday and picked it up on Weds. They had Matt overnight the parts and they did the rebuild in house hence it saved a fair amount of time and the cost of the 2 next day shipments to and from Matt of my LSD.

I was expecting it to take much longer. If memory serves me right it ran about $1,500 parts and labor.

tguaturbo

Yes Sir! I really was not aiming for time reduction as much as playing around with the throttle and enjoying the back end just scooting out nice and controlled like in mid corner.

Next time I will run my data and see how much time I can cut.

Stephen,
No apologies are necessary. While that is my policy I am also human and miss the mark on occasion. I know I have handful of times in the last six months for one reason another. Your memory of turnaround might be right and you might be one of them. If so I'm sorry and glad it wasn't an instance where it caused you a problem.

Side track for a moment:
Matt, do you know Dave Helms? He is in your parts and specializes in Ferrari's.

GTgears

Name sort of rings a bell but can't really place it.

Fortunately you don't need to pull the engine or tranny. You can take the diff out through the side cover quite easily. Did it in my garage. Look for the LSD Buster thread.
