[euro] Lsd

[Tobster]

Just wondering if anyone has fitted an LSD to their Euro?

I was having a quick look at the Spoon website and saw that they do an LSD for the CL7. The Type R also has an LSD standard...

Remember that the CL7 runs pretty much the same engine and gearbox as the DC5 Type R so any parts listed on the Spoon website won't necessarily fit the CL9. I have heard that the DC5 gearboxes (manual and auto) are very similar to those in the CL9 so in theory your should be able to fit the helical LSD from the Type R in the Euro.

Also note that the new Type S DC5 in Australia does not come with an LSD.

Maybe this is a simpler and cheaper option, albeit not quite as complete a solution. http://www.phantomgrip.com

Yeah, I was just wondering if anyone had found a nice neat "drop in"...

The (NSW) car at

is listed as having a Helical 1.5 Way LSD...

Incidentally, I thought I'd read that the Integra Type S still had the LSD -- maybe I'm mistaken...

how does a LSD improve the car?

Basically it gives you greater control of the car especially when coming out of corners.

I can get CL7 Cusco LSD unit! I will check with CUSCO if CL7 and CL9 share the same LSD!

[adammet04]

so better (stronger?) diff will give better handling experience? and should last longer than a stock (weaker?) diff..so a stronger one would be more applicable to higher power cars to reduce stress on wheels, especially when turning ?

lsd gives a better cornering line

Noel on TSX Club has fit the LSD from the DC5R- see if I can find his thread later. He is in Sydney.
