Phantom Grip Limited Slip Diff

Has anyone any experience of this:

It's a gadget you fit into your open diff to make it a locker (and no, it's not a bolt jammed into the ring gear... ).

Is it any good?

I have no idea whether it's good or not, but it seems like it's only or front wheel drive vehicles or vehicles with a transaxle.

For the price, i think I'd rather have my powertrax.

No way man, it's a thing that modifies your stock diff. Maybe I should have posted this link:

It's for proper rear wheel drive cars, not girly front wheel drive.

Anyone use it?

I have a Powertrax and like it just fine. That gadget just doesn't look the part.
If you want really cheap limited slip, add some more washers between the spider gears. They press the gears together under load and lock the diff just like clutches in a stock limited slip.
Shadetree mod that has been around for decades.

It could be my screen's resolution...but I love how those charts are so small you cant even read what they are.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the graphs - it does also appear to be a bit Sport Compact / Ricer, but I wondered if anyone had used it in a 'proper' application.

I'm going to price one up and see if it's worth the risk...

I can't find an application for the Mustang on that page anywhere.

I see Probe, Taurus, Focus, Festiva, Tempo, Escort, but no Mustang.

Yeah, but I think they can make it fit - there's an MGB with a stonking twin turbo V8 over here that uses it in a bastardised axle.
