Does anybody know if you can posi-trac or lock axles on a Festiva to get both wheels pulling? Air locker maybe? (not wanting phantom grip)

I have seen these things for sale called "phantom grip" that fit into the diff unit, but trans has to come apart and some machining has to be done. I have no experience with these-other than seeing them for sale. Maybe someone on the site knows more?186,000 miles per second is not just a good idea, it's the law

Mazda (actually the performance division, MazdaSpeed) makes a limited slip differential for the G series transmission (F series too), but it's hard to get. Quaife makes one for the G series also. It runs around $1000 + though.
Properly set up, the Phantom Grip is pretty good.
Welded spider gears will work, but on each turn, the inside tire will spin (it would eat tires real fast) and there is the chance of breakage every time you do anything but go straight. It would be like an old school RWD spool.Last edited by JPT; 01-28-2010, 06:10 PM.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

Mfactory makes 26 spline G series helical gear type lsd for arund $700, its equal to a quafie unit but the trans doesnt need to be modified or custom axles like you would need for the quafie unit.

^ Thanks! $700 isnt to bad. What about airlockers? Any made that would fit Festiva's? A friend of mine and I both had 1980 Broncos. He had airlockers on his.
Wow! Was all I could say when I drove his bronco. What a difference. All 4 wheels pullin' in the mud and turned off, drove normal on roads and turns.
Both front wheels pullin' on a festy would be sweet.Dan

There isn't anything like that for our trans. I've never even seen a mini spool for a front wheel drive transaxle either. As simple as they are you'd think someone would make one, but guys just end up welding the spider gears.97 Aspire w/K03 turbocharged b6 SOHC

My friend welded the spider gears in his fwd eclipse. As long as you didn't turn that sharp it was fine.Better Than Nothing Racing

when i welded my spider gears in my G series trans in my festy it hooked but didnt go straight the front would drift side to side it was a 2 hander to driveComment

Well, i've heard good and bad about the phantom grip, sounds like its a "rig" and not strong for serious racing, as a spool or true locker. I wanted to know if a locker was available for the Festiva.Originally posted by Maxtiva View Post
I 've seen ARB airlockers for Suzuki samurai, sidekick,vitara ...and honda and toyota. Can one of these be adapted to a Festiva?Last edited by drddan; 02-10-2010, 01:57 PM.Dan

All the civic drivers I know that have used phantom grip have broken their diffs so that's the reason why I don't want one.Current cars:
1993 Ford Festiva 5-Speed - Festiclese III - Cousin of the Banhammer - "The Jalopnik Car"
1984 Toyota Cressida - 2JZGE Swap, Turbocharged.
2013 Mazda Mazda2 - Exhaust and Wheels (the daily)
