the LSD? or the turbos were the first to get them? i could always jsut go do a burn-out and see if i lay down 2 tread marks♣AsleepZ♣ said:4/87... But I think that was only for the Turbo models.
so none of the NA's have LSD's?JAMESZ said:No only Turbos got the LSD. Turbos from 4/87-89 have R200 LSDs. Shiros have a VLSD.
That is correct.SanMarcosZfreak said:so none of the NA's have LSD's?
why not? thats dumb. how hard would it be to put the LSD rear end onto an 88 NA from an 88 turbo? is it a direct bolt on?JAMESZ said:That is correct.

cool thanks eric now when i get money i can put that on.....i'm noticing a problem with trying to restore a car with no money.......eh oh well when i get money i'll save part and spend the rest on my baby♣Zen31ZR♣ said:
Many many times better than an open diff. For starters, it's safer to drive in the rain or snow, since you won't lose traction suddenly just because one wheel starts spinning. Both tires will wear more evenly. It's almost impossible to spin the wheels with an LSD, ask AsleepZ. Though I dunno what tires he has, or really how much power he is making. It makes the car more stable for turning, the regular open diff makes the car very unstable if you put on any power in a corner. I'll put it like this, Open Diff = 1WD. It's like driving 2 motorcycles lashed together and applying power to only one.SanMarcosZfreak said:cool thanks eric now when i get money i can put that on.....i'm noticing a problem with trying to restore a car with no money.......eh oh well when i get money i'll save part and spend the rest on my baby
edit: and dad jsut shot down the LSD install...are there any performance and handling advantages with the LSD compared to the open diff?
yeah thats what i thought, he wants a completly stock restore :lame: , i want a complete restore with minimal performance enhancing mods, so i'm putting the LSD on once the car is fully mine, but until then, i'll be driving safe, lol, he came home last night to the plenum cover sitting in the sink, he flipped out, but then i showed him how much cleaner it was and he calmed down, lol♣Zen31ZR♣ said:Many many times better than an open diff.

Those cars did come stock with an LSD, it was just the turbo models.SanMarcosZfreak said:yeah thats what i thought, he wants a completly stock restore :lame: , i want a complete restore with minimal performance enhancing mods, so i'm putting the LSD on once the car is fully mine, but until then, i'll be driving safe, lol, he came home last night to the plenum cover sitting in the sink, he flipped out, but then i showed him how much cleaner it was and he calmed down, lol
LMAO exactly, its stock jsut not for my car. thanks for helping me out eric♣Zen31ZR♣ said:Those cars did come stock with an LSD, it was just the turbo models.I'd say an LSD was a necessary evil.
It is easier with an open differential. But trust me you can spin the tires pretty good with an LSD out back. Heck I'm worried that I am going to need wider tires then 275s out back with the LSD. Traction will still be an issue.♣AsleepZ♣ said:I need to learn how to do 360s now...... Since I got a LSD
I'm running 275s out back and 245s out front. But I also have different wheels and different sidewall ratings.♣AsleepZ♣ said:From what I heard from "Drift Bible" you have a to have a LSD to do tight 360s. I mean go sideways around a circle... I've been thinking of going with a slightly wider tire in the back..
I can only run 225/50/R16's up front (they already rub)
What could I run in the back that's a bit wider.
WHOA!!!!! Dead wrong on everything above. For the following, think as if the diff was welded solid.♣Zen31ZR♣ said:Many many times better than an open diff.
