limited slip ? REAR END
I have 93 LX 5.0 with the stock rearend in it. Limited slip or positve traction what ever you want to call it. Anyhow BOTH TIRES SPIN WIN YOU DUMP IT. My question is my buddy also has a 93 LX 5.0 ANd today he pulled up in street and started to power brake it and only the right wheel was spinning anf not the left. Now he also has a factory rear end so why would only one side spin.

Just have your buddy go out and rebuild his LSD, It's killing him on lauch even if they're both spinning, ones spinning faster then the other.
No road/canyon racing for you huh?

ABS causes more accidents than it prevents.
Lets say im cruising along at 40mph and slam on my brakes... my car would go like... 60 feet if the ABS kicked on (numbers are not real, just hypothetical)
But WITHOUT ABS, my tires would lock up, creating MORE friction, and allowing my car to stop at say... 48 feet...
the car im trying to avoid hitting is 52 feet away......
Ask anyone who knows how ABS works, and they will tell you that its for people who cant control their car. ABS was designed because little johnny **** ****, and sally stupid just SLAM on their brakes and turn the wheel.. which causes their car to spin out of control... Your average driver does only one thing in a situation where they need to make a tactical driving descion.... they panic... slam on the brakes, spin the car.. and crash.
I had two probes, one with and one without ABS... I felt safer in the car without ABS, because when i wanted the car to stop, I pressed the brake... the car stopped when I wanted it to stop.. not when it felt like it!
