Today...I

Today I turned on the eLSD in an open stretch of nowhere. I slammed the gas just to see how far through the gears I can get without traction. The car finally gripped at 4500rms in 3rd gear. Silly...The whole thing was just silly.

Anyone else having some fun with the eLsd?

Sounds like fun. Although you probably burned a months worth of tread off of your tires doing it.

Well Last night I turn off all traction controls and A friend and I headed to meet some other friends. To get on the freeway there is a kinda sharp right turn and I wanted to kick the tail out a bit... as I made the turn I hit the gas and I must have hit it a bit too hard cuz the tail end spun around the front end on the left side:eyebulge: I tried to recover it but I was unsuccessful and we ended up sideways on the on ramp.... Yes before any one says anything I did make sure no one was behind me!!! that would have not been good!! so I thru it in reverse, straighten out and off we went!!

I think my buddy crapped his pants though!!! lol!

I'm sure looking forward to something 'silly' along those lines but the little monster isn't yet broken-in.

Now that's a great reason why leatherette is a good choice...It's so much easier cleaning up your passenger's 'messes'....

i would be too scared to try that. the first month. how ever if you want to drift, try local events or something. doing it on the streets is just unsafe for you, others, and most importantly your ONER!!!

OMFG poor car.
