"I will not sell, or ship to anyone in FRANCE !!"

I think it would probably be better and cheaper to just swap in an FD torsen LSD.

RETed

First of all, where are you going to put it?
Your .sig and profile says you own a base model.
You realize that this Torsen ONLY fits an FC turbo or FD rear end?

Second, the price is a bit high, but it's not unreasonable.
I've seen FD stock Torsen LSD's from Japan sell for about $200 or a little less.

If he doesn't want to swap out the rear end, he can get a Torsen unit from a Miata to fit in the N/A diff case.

Edit - I'll even include the link.

Wouldn't new vs. used be a good reason for that?

RETed

I think it's more like the Torsen is true aftermarket?
If I remember correctly (I could be wrong), but the FD stock Torsen doesn't look like that...
Anyone has a pic of a stock FD Torsen?

So RETed are you saying the LSD out of a turbo FC won't fit a base model FC ?

Icemark

Yep. won't fit.

non turbo models uses a 7 inch gear/differential.

Turbo and FDs use 8 inch gear/differntial.

Not interchangeble at all without changing a lot of parts.

amishboy

Huh I changed mine this past weekend I didn't see any difference , I changed out housing and all I guess that part is the same right ?

Icemark

Nothing bolts up... the drive shaft is different the half shafts are different... if you have a base, then the only way that a LSD bolted in there is if it was not a Turbo differential but rather a non turbo from a GXL or something.

amishboy

And I thought the GXL came with the same LSD as the TURBO .

Icemark

No... did you not read my earlier post???

amishboy

Ok that is not noted on the options sheet or I didn't see it anyway I've never had a TURBO model .

amishboy

No I was typing while you were posting I guess .

MARTIN

verts had an lsd option. I think it was only s4's though...

Icemark

No. Not in North America

Please read the What came with my FC options and standard features thread before posting

MARTIN

ok then,its either someone put an lsd rear end on my vert before I purchased it, or it just came with it...I bought it from an elderly lady which I doubt did the swap.

Icemark

heard that story before... what makes you think it is a LSD? Do you have a window sticker??? Without a either a build sheet or window sticker saying the car came with one, the car didn't come with a LSD

And if it really does have a LSD (which I highly doubt) what makes you rule out a blown differential that some shop replaced with with a junk yard one from a GXL??

13b_drifter

Torsens rock... Je suis intéressé à acheter le lsd. Combien coûterait-il au bateau en France ?

MARTIN

What makes you think I just came up with a bullshit story?? fine your right, the verts didnt come with lsd's according to the options list... but yes my car has the lsd rearend...

Icemark

again why do you think you have one???

And what year do you have??? I can tell you right now that if you have an 88 and it is a north american model that it did not come with a LSD.

RETed

What is this place coming to...
*sigh*

hey mark,

maybe he jacked up the car and rotated one of the wheels to see the opposite rear wheel spin the same direction? he said it was an s4 clutch type, right?
just a shot in the dark..
