Just trying to help

Is it the angle of the picture or did you raise the OEM wing?
I'm waiting for Orbit to quote me taller uprights for oem wing so I can see the cops behind me.

Can someone explain to me the function of the Guard LSD? Is it easy to install? Advantages/disadvantages?

^ late braking consistently and gas early are the positives with guard LSD. With fried stock LSD can't do either. Mike

For parts and install, you have two major choices:

1) Have Guard rebuild your OEM unit with their parts. Your LSD can be removed with the transmission in your car (one can actually do this yourself _ search "LSD buster" on this forum), one then sends it to Guard for a rebuild, then re-install the unit with no additional set up required.

2) Purchase a complete new performance Guard LSD unit. For this the transmission must be removed for the correct setup in the transaxle - this must be done by a Porsche technician.


One can still chose the lock up spec for either the above choices 28/40, 40/60 or 50/80.

Hope this helps....I did choice #1 and was very pleased with the result.

Cheers!
Doug N.

#1. Full cage
#2. LSD
#3 Motons and all the RSS counterparts
#4. SS engine and tranny mounts (really surprised the difference this made!)
#5. Remainder of build!

But then again, perhaps it was my Wevo SS Engine mounts, because it was one of the few mods I actually got to install myself....

You think the ice and beer would slush? Too bad they don't have a shaped cooler with a secure lid..
Rubbermaid makes a nice $20 version... You're welcome

Well Doug, the list is long, but you did ask for the favorite: For me, the cup gearbox! Still can't understand why Porsche didn't do it this way from the start.
