90 GTU no LSD WTF???
hey guys i recently picked up an s5 gtu 1990 to be exact with a blown engine... well i dropped in my spare engine and it fired up so i took it for a lil drift session but the POS has no LSD 
i remember someone told me that the s5 gtu didnt come with LSD but i thought it was BS is this true do i have no LSD in my s5 gtu and if i dont then why did my old 88 GTU have an LSD

werid my 91 n/a gxl had it too with 4.10 gears expect it was busted from the previous owner.. so i swap in a auto 3.90 diff for daily driving. haha but i suspect the previous swapped it in or mazda had them come from the factory like that.. its hard to tell.

Now remember... most people think that they have a LSD if they can break both rear/drive wheels loose. This is not the case. Most FC's are/were able to break both rear wheels loose if they are in decent condition. Both wheels leaving burn out marks does not indicate a LSD. Hell I can leave both wheels having burn out marks on a FWD sentra.
So:
Nope... it didn't come from the factory with one.
Nope...
Number 1: There is no such thing as a 91 GXL. There was only the Coupe with A and B option packages.
Number 2: If it was from the factory it would be a viscous LSD... which the factory didn't make in '91 in 7 inch form... only an 8in (which only fits the Turbo diff assembly).
Nope

The S5 GTU is a base model trim package. Equivalent to the "SE" models S4..
The GTUs and the Turbo should have LSD in the S5 model years. Other then that.. 1 Wheel wonder...
One thing everyone needs to understand is that these cars are like 19+ years old, lots of parts can be swapped around..

i remember someone told me that the s5 gtu didnt come with LSD but i thought it was BS is this true do i have no LSD in my s5 gtu and if i dont then why did my old 88 GTU have an LSD 89-90 GTU = base strippy model with simple single piston brake, and standard soft suspension and no LSD (or really anything else).
89- 90 GTUs (note the small "S"... don't confuse that with the strippy base model 89-90 GTU) = non turbo sports model with LSD and Sport suspension and sport brakes.
and a few other non turbo notes:
86-88 GXL = had a LSD
89-90 GXL = didn't have a LSD
91 GXL = smoking crack- or taking 'srooms as there was never a 91 GXL
91 GTU = smoking crack- or taking 'srooms as there was never a 91 GTU

yeah i already looked at that... and i know i have lsd because of that big *** chunk of metal on my rear axel that would be the diff housing. and when i burn out or launch my car both rear wheels spin...
