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.
My unit would only go to Dr J or Duane (if interested), since I don't know Matt personally, and the unit must be returned at some point (if not purchased).
The deal is you get to borrow the unit (no cost), test it out, and try to break it. If you are not satisfied with the unit, you will return it (hopefully not in pieces). I'd like to see it in a car with 500+ HP that is not some long project that is not running.
From what I hear OBX does not warranty broken units.
It does not matter to me if you want to sell it or loan it. I have a running car with over 500 HP, sees the track on a regaular basis(almost weekly). As stated above I am ready to install the unit and have results within 1 to two weeks. If you want to just sell it tell me how much and I will pay. Refer to my previous offer earlier in the thread. Lets just get the unit here, installed, abused, and results back so we know how well this thing will hold up. If anyone on here knows mattonedime and wants to vouch for him now is the time to do it to make everyone feel comfortable. Let's get'er done.
We fabricate and manufacture SOME products for the Supra. We offer a wide range of products for all different types of rearends. We are just as curious as everyone else on how well this unit will perform in a car with a substancial amount of horsepower. We are looking into other options for traction devices but it will be some time before we have anything. Let me know when you can get the unit, or let me know where to go and buy it and I will make this happen. Thanks.

werd. doesn't matter to me who does it, but let's get it tested! i have no problem refunding those who have already paypaled me or just sending that $$ to someone else....i'm still a month or so away from running, so if matt is up and running let's get it rolling!
1. Thanks Dr J for the backup.
2. Just paid and order the unit myself so we can get this done. Cost $475.00, not asking for any money.
3. Install will happen immediately when unit arrives, hopefully before the weekend.
4. Will be tested within the next couple of weeks.
5. I will keep you posted as far as the details, but give me a couple of weeks to get it here, install it, and beat the crap out of it in mattonedime's car before people get post crazy and impatient.

Paypal account to jwilson@jawsgear.com. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. I will let you know how this turns out as quick as possible. Thanks again.
I still can't get a unit myself, I think someone is not telling the truth on my end. I'll be glad to see it in action, this takes the pressure off me for testing.
Great to hear! I will be waiting for the test. It is either the OBX LSD or a stock rebuild for me. I hate the wheelspin on the outer wheel when turning and accelerating.
I will keep a video diary of every launch and attempt at abuse.. I have 3 sets of tires lined up to test with.. 17" street tires, 18" Drag radials, and 15" MT Slicks.. Looking forward to some fun testing.

Thumbs up for paying out of pocket and doing the testing so everyone will know if it is worth the money!! Nothing like watching the MKIII parts catalog grow!!
Amazing how all this comes together after I bought the unit already. Part has been shipped and I will have it installed in a diff on Monday. Will try to get it in Matt's car by next week. WIll follow up soon.
Yes it is pretty amazing. Actually I was able to get one because you had bought one. I gave them shit and said look someone already has one so I'm not getting off the phone until you find out what the deal is.
So they update their sheet and found the unit listed.
