LSD in Euro

[EK Civic R]

Just wondering how many ppl here have installed LSD in there Euro..

What type/brand it is and what sort of improvements they have got out of it..

Cheers

[johnprocter]

iam also interested, so could you include costs aswell, cheers

Also, will the FD2 (JDM Civic Type R) LSD fit into Euro??

[tony1234]

I think you need to use the DC5R one.

[enkay]

yep u can use dc5r ones (but i think any kseries fit not 100% thou)
so any aftermarket ones that fit dc5r should fit the euro =D

ive heard of only one person who had a quaife lsd in his euro well tsx
he was on the tov forums

Can you fit an LSD to an auto?

[EK Civic R]

I've been offered a brand new FD2R LSD for $500..

It's a good price, but just don't know if it will fit..

from my knowlegde no i dont think it can be fitted.

Just curious to know, how does the LSD look and where does it fit in the car?

I know how it works, but never driven a car with LSD before....

Very good price. Call up workshops that specialise in Hondas to ask.

Drive a DC2/5R.

Ask Hannys at Smithfield,they'd know.They're also fairly close to you i think.

Thanks guys..

The LSD will fit to my car..
But downside now is it costs a bomb for install.. Will have to wait to get clutch and flywheel so I don't have to pay the labour twice..
Have to lower the gearbox to get it installed so will wait..

And no you cant install LSD into an auto

[bennjamin]

IMO get a DC5R entire gearbox and install that. Better ratios + LSD :)

[johnprocter]

how much would that cost? including labour you reckon?

How much would gearbox cost?? And I reckon it wouldn't be that easy to source..

It would be easier than sourcing a 2nd hand DC5R LSD. Check the wreckers.

Hmmm,tempting.Just the $$$ for fitting.:eek:

[aaronng]

Yup, installation is a bit more than the price of that LSD. heheheeh

[hooyn]

hijack. is there any recommended travelled km's until the clutch and flywheel should be replaced? or is this purely based on how the cars driven.

say its been driving to 60000km's with constant friction point on hills, riding the clutch and city during peak hours. Then from there to 70000km's it was driven without those but with mainly long journey, 5th 6th gear, and minimal peak hour traffic.

[aaronng]

Clutch wear is based on driving style, not on number of kms. I know someone who wore his out in 10000km of street driving, while I am still on my original at 61000km which included 3 trackdays.

Now back on topic.

[EK Civic R]

Yea, I got my FD2R lsd, but waiting to get clutch and flywheel to get installed altogether...

Too expensive to just get lsd installed...

[Accord Basic]

May be you can install the Spoon or Mfactory final drive with your LSD, flywheel and clutch install. They are all for transmission parts. Save your time and money. More torque

[EK Civic R]

how much does the final cost around???

Usually looks like a pill but drug driving is unlawful and dangerous to other road users and so it doesn't belong in a car.
