    Our RX-7 Torsens and Miata Torsens get Redline Heavyweight Shockproof for Regional Sprints and Lightweight Shockproof for 3 hour 'enduros'.

    (edit) Ya, it's Mazda info but you can never have enough info to make a decision right?

    Hey mlytle... Why half/half???

    Redline 75w/90w has the LS modifier already.

    BTW...I run Redline as well.

    I have also run the BMW specified Castrol (SJ I think) as I was given 20 gal of the stuff from an ex-dealership mechanic.

    because the ns does not have the modifier. a little less slip in the diff this way.

    anyone run the shockproof solution in a bmw that evidently works well for mazdas? ;-)

    I hang out on all of 'em. The only way to learn. ITAC covers ALL the cars.

    Some how I don't believe you hang out in the Ford section quite as often. Calling BS on this one.

    Good call Marshall.

    Then you'd BOTH be wrong. Seems like you have an issue...That restrictor plate thingie stuck in your craws?

    FWIW, the ITAC did NOT recommend any restrictons to the E36...surprised? Thought so.

    Hey Andy..

    Don't you guys run an E36 as well?? I could swear I remember standing in the WC trailer when you were there discussing some stuff about the BMW. Maybe i'm on drugs though....

    Jake,

    Don't confuse the issue with facts! We use the same redline part numbers in the IT car as well as the WC E36 328i. Just posted the RX-7 because it was an IT car and runs sprints.

    Let the negativity continue!
