"supposedly" my new eclipse is the fastest car among my freinds. (i beat the supra biggrin.gif ) problem is, its only fast from 3rd gear. i cant get traction in first or second. what are the best ways to remedy this? ive heard of equal length halfshafts but dont really know too much about them. i was wondering about front lsd's. i found a Phantom Grip front lsd but have never heard of them before. does anyone have experience with these. any info is greatly appreciated. im still getting used to driving the fwd compared to my previous awd, and im sure some new tires would help too. ok well thanks.

tomorrow im gonna be at slo pny's to pick up my car (hopefully) and im gonna ask if they can install the front lsd. how bout the halfshafts, is it a fairly easy thing to do? i am somewhat familiar with all that stuff, but am no jesse james, so how hard is this to do?

Its easy. Will you be taking the transmission out yourself to have slopny put the lsd in it or will you have slopny take it out? If your taking the tranny out and putting it back in yourself you simply put the equal length halfshaft in instead of the stock fwd shaft. The only difference is you will bolt the center bearing on the half shaft to the back of the engine block.
