I've seen this posted and commented on over at NABISCO a lot, and since we have some people running these, I figured I would share
IPT - Performance Valve Body Kits
I've seen Level 10 mentioned a bunch of times, but mostly in a negative light.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Me want more information on what the center diff clutches were updated to...

It's usually the rear that ends up going, isn't it?

Re: 4/5EAT Performance valve body kits
That certainly is what I have read. Every long term case I have researched indicates the front diff/clutch assembly is pretty robust and isn't really the issue. My biggest issue is the cost/benefit analysis. It is a very pricey piece of kit. I'm not certain I could justify it on a 5 year old car, let alone a 10+ one.Sabre wrote:It's usually the rear that ends up going, isn't it?
Sadly, my rear diff is starting to 'clunk' under hard acceleration, so I see some cash outlay coming in the future.
