Who I still running a 6" rear with 10+psi?
 
I'm probably going to upgrade before mine breaks to help pay for the 7" swap, but just wondering.

Still running mine with about 10-11 psi. I autocross the car but am careful especially with 1-2 shifts. I've only been running my setup for a couple of months though.

I've known people running 15psi FM II setups on the 6" rears for years and have no troubles. Mechanical empathy goes a long way I suppose.

I'm not sure why you would think that 10PSI will break it. I run 15 PSI in mine with no problems. Of course, I've totally trashed rear ends with NA cars - it is all in how you treat them.

I'm still running the 6" rear. Next week the LSD 7" goes in. No problems yet on the 6", just leary.

i am. same thing, just very cautious.

i am running mine at 12-13 so far so good.

Pitlab77 10-08-2006 02:51 PM

i ran my car at around 8-10psi. It never broke, but then i never did anystanding starts, or etc. with it.

Yeah I'm not hard on it really, never clutch drop it, shift into 2nd kinda hard sometimes at autox, but what I mainly want it for is to swap in an RX7 LSD. My VLSD is gettin me down. Ruins all my fun.

i have an ATS LSD, its a 6" rear but can i still swap to 7" or would i need a new lsd.

magnamx-5 10-08-2006 06:11 PM

no you need to swap the whole pumpkin halfshafts and drive shaft to have it all work.

turbored 10-08-2006 06:19 PM

what he said. The weak link in the 6" is the ring and pinion, and you'll need all that magnamx-5 listed to go to 7"

magnamx-5 10-08-2006 06:23 PM

still on the look out i think i might have finally found a 1.8 parts car to give me all the parts fingers crossed.
