JDM EP3 has an LSD, and that is of course what I was talking about.
It's an MB6 you have, never heard of these with a diff, or any UK Civic other than the limited space ship thing.
a torsen lsd was standard fit on the mb6 vti.

Some used fixed, or "spool" diffs
And since a "spool" diff has exactly zero differential action, it's a bit of a contradiction in terms!
Best explanation, even if it is a bit old. Skip to 1min 50.
That explains a standard differential, an LSD works the same but the gear in the middle will only rotate up to a maximum speed so there is a limit in the difference between the speeds of the 2 wheels turning.
And a 48bhp Micra needs all the grip it can get while driving along at 28mph ...
What 48bhp Micra comes from the factory with an LSD?
Well spotted, hence the "spool" as it isnt really a differential.
You missed the point
Atleast I had one.
So did I, that low power FWD cars that are A-B mobiles driven by old grannies do not require an LSD as they will not be ragged about at their limit on the track/road.
And since the majority (>75%?) of FWD cars fall into the above segment my statement that most FWD cars do not need an LSD stands and is correct.
What is your point? The above applies equally to RWDs.
An LSD would help RWD in the wet though more than it would help FWD, besides most RWD cars make over 100bhp really
You have to be gunning a RWD to get wheelspin IMO.
