So the first time I ever floored it in my 87crx Si, the torque steer was horrendous lol so what are a few ways to reduce torque steer on our cars with the aftermarket support we have.

Only other 2 options are swap in a LSD which they don't make anymore and you'd have to source, and install an intermediate shaft which they never made on these cars for the EW4. If you swap to the D16A1 they came with intermediate shafts and you can install a LSD from a newer B series tranny.

Ill try to see if I can source one out. Also what about a d16a6 swap? Isn't that bolt in pretty much and I can use a lsd compatible with a transmission for that later on down the road.
