Yes, the car pulls much longer now which I do prefer. I did lose the bottom end which I can get back with a TC. However..........After installing the 2.87 pulley this evening and taking it for a spin, I shred my brand new 265 18inch tire. Notice I said tire, singular? It spun from 3500rpm straight to red line and then spun through 2nd gear as well. This is where LSD with stock gearing would come in handy as well as wider tires.

Blair at RMM said his suplier keeps raising the price and the best he could do was 1650 + 80 for shipping.
He also said demand for the lsd is down when compared to the past couple of years. Strange...demand is
down, but price is up. Can't figure that one out.

man.... that's sky high expensive..... i know tm engineering could have gotten it for around 1400 to 1500 at most. oh well, it's done deal anyway.

but yes, the demand is less, so they make less, and thus the higher and higher price

Just wondering...Is there any difference in the actual part from RMM or TM or do they both get the unit from
the same suplier?

they are EXACTLY the same. all units are from the supra tt 3.76 with lsd, that's what TM will get for you. rmm just got the part, rebadge it to rmm, and sell it for more
