Phantom Grip Review (JOSE CHECK THIS)

[jsalicru]

Hey guys... having just recently installed a Phantom Grip, i thought that I should write up a little review of it.

I just installed the following in my car

6 puck (sprung)
8.5lb. lightweight flywheel
Phantom Grip
Polyurethane mounts (Still need one more but I got them all.. kinda)

Anyways... so at first, I didn't quite see the difference (Mind you I have 14" DX stockies and PEPBOYS TIRES) until one day I was on a tight uphill curve on an onramp.... the can slipped at first... felt normal for a FWD car... but then I thought that I was too agreesive... then again I was at very high rpm (7k) and I was abrupt to get on it... so then I let off and went a little smoother... the car suddenly tightened its line considerably which took me by surprise.. I STILL got on it... but I was just smoother on the transition. I was surprised...

Another time was this morning... JOSE... remember the curve where we tested your sway bars? Well, I took the same curve n my car... and I was impressed by the LSD...

JOSE.. I invite you to come and try it.. its cheap, and it works NICE.. it WILL improve your SOLO UNO numbers.. guaranteed...


I can't tell you about how it works straightline on a hard take off because one of the critical mounts on my motor (driver's side engine mount) came broken... so I can't take off hard until my full "Place Racing" urethane mount comes in.

Anyways... just my two cents.. if you want one.. I know who can install it for you... IF interested, I recommed you do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want to do to the tranny at the same time... (AKA, clutch, flywheel... etc. This will SEVERELY cut the cost of labor down... it takes about 20-30 minutes to do this part of the job...

Anyways... there you go... want one? Call CAP performance... they are VERY reliable, and will get stuff on time when you order something that they dont have in stock... Price? around 260-280... (787) 744-1304 Talk to Allan

nice review :)
how much was the labor and the lsd ??

[Red-one]

The LSD Mod is $285 +' $250 for the install that's in my case....

I paid 200 for labor on everything... flywheel, mounts, clutch and LSD...

Red One... Rafa... try this... call Phantom Grip and ask them what type of springs should you be running... They come with green springs but there are two other types.... Gold and Red...

Gold = Medium
Red = Stiff

Im thinking about switching... Im kinda sad that I didn't buy the gold or red ones at the time (not in stock) but I hear that the Red ones work great. I know that my mechanic uses Red ones on his race car and he says that they work AWESOME... Also.. he told me he installed it on one of his customer's cars... his times went down about three tenths because he has MAD wheel spin.

Oh Rafa.. .when Im ready YOUR ON DUDE! that would be a NICE race

[Red-one]

I think mine where green ....F#ck..! Really I don't feel a diff...I might even open the tranny to see if something is wrong....Maybe they forgot to take out the clips...............

As for the race ......Post when you are done........

Thnx for the info.....

ok. but i got a question...the phantom grip is not suppose to work on curves..just in straight line...thats the reason is not an lsd....and is so cheap???wtf???

[Red-one]

TRD it's supposed to work like an lsd...straight and turning...it applies pressure to the spiders sides in the Diff limiting it's action...while in load its supposed to almost produce full lock..! In my case I haven't seen good results neither straight or cornering....I will make the "launching tests" they told me to do for it to " work properly".....

I'll keep you posted...

[jsalicru]

Its weird man... Ill be the first one to admit... I dont think that the green springs are enough... when I put A LOT of power in a turn (AKA Sharp Turn 7500rpms) it will spin the inside tire... but only a little compared to what it used to do.

I need to take my tranny apart again.. when I do.. I will install a stiffer set of springs for it.. until then.. i have the green ones... I STILL feel it working... my brother has a Prelude VTEC... he feels the need for a LSD more than all of us (except Rafas integ) and he drove it and felt it quickly...

Beto... it works straight and in the turns too. Ill let you drive it so you can see man.

[TRD-GT]

ok LET ME DRIVE IT....jajaj...lol
