I haven't seen anything regarding it yet.

Can't say I'd trust one, but our market continues to expand. Someone have at it and let us know how long till it breaks or not.

Wonder what the gear ratio is....


READ!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to all donate $10 via paypal to Adam H. (drjones) for a OBX LSD. I'll keep updating this list and as long as we have enough people to make it worth-while, we'll all forward the $$$$. Adam's job will then be to beat the shit out of it and try to break it which we all know he is capable of. (along with a write-up regarding qualitt/fit/finish/etc)

OBX claims a lifetime warrenty against manuf defects, I'm not sure if that covers high hp mk3's but I guess we'll try to find out.

I called them to ask them about it and they where saying that it can hold 400 HP but the guy was completely clueless... (distributor) OBX distrbution really sounds like a mom and pop shop...
400 hp? that's useless.....they def. have no idea what they're doing, much like a clutch it should be rated for tq.....i think the only way will be to get one and try it out. <sigh>

Well now another vender claims it could hold 800 hp no problem but I said if it breaks will it void the warrenty he said shouldn't be a problem with OBX but he can't confrim... I sent him a email saying your a joke. And stop lieing.

heh. you may want to use a grammar check before sending an email like that... ;)

either way, i think it's a safe guess that they won't warranty jack if we blow it up. the question is, will it take it?

hey guys all we need is 50 people to donate $10 each, and we can have Adam test it for us. Anyone with me on this one? I think its the only way we are going to find out how strong they really are. Otherwise we will never know, and the random kid with a stock mk3 who buys one on ebay will not be able to give us a good idea on product quality.. We need a high hp guy to really beat the crap out of it. I got $10 to donate, anyone else? We need a sticky

Good idea Kev. Lets get this rolling! We need a sticky thread so we can create a bigger buzz about the donations/testing!

I already have an account with OBX.

The cost is obviously something that can't be posted.

Awesome. So i guess we will need less than 50 people. :)

hey my brother is big into hondas and just orded one for his car but anyway i've talked to him about the OBX Lsd for the hondas and i guess when they first came out with the LSDs it was prone to breaking really easily... but they came out with a second version that fixed the problem and theres a lot of honda guys running it now making 350+ hp... and thats pretty good for a FWD. I dont know if this means anything toward our crowd but...i guess we wont know until someone trys.....
