New I30t Owner here...

Well, I just wanted to introduce myself... My wife is pregnant with our first child so it was time for a family vehicle, her CRX just wasn't going to cut it... So after MONTHS of research I headed out yesterday with a few different rides in mind that I'd be willing to buy, the I30t was at the top of the list and that is exactly what I found... So you should be seeing me around a bit more...

Now I just need to get some of those Cefiro headlights for it!!! Those things look SWEET... Oh yeah, and I need to get rid of those ugly stock wheels too... I can't stand those... But all in good time...

The org is having problems with email notification right now, I don't get any as well. If you would like to know more read the threads in the feedback forum but please do not post anymore about it since the topic is beat to death.

Good Info...I'm curious though...my 1996 t doesn't have limited slip anything.

I'm quite certain of it. Isn't there supposed to be a switch and dash indicator for it also? I have neither...

No, your thinking of traction control which is totally different. If you have a T model then you have limited slip. It was part of the T package. If you don't believe me then look under the hood, located on the passanger side firewall there is a metal plate stamped with the tranny code. If it ends in a V then you have LSD if it ends in an A you don't.

Excellent! Thanks! I'll check under the hood. Can you help me with what limited slip is then? I thought it sent power to the wheel with the most grip but now think I'm wrong...

Yes, that is limited slip but there is no dash light indication for it.
