First off, i hate searching on this forum, I never find what I am looking for. (I always search before posting, but this search engine blows in my mind)

Ok anyways. I was having conversation with an S2000 enthusiast the other night. He told me that when the S2k first came out, it didnt have LSD and some people did the "Hyundai" mod. Where they put a Hyundai diff in the rear because it is stronger...and cheap. I thought all S2000's have/had LSD. If this is untrue, what years did not have LSD...or was it an option?

Thank you

 

Thats bull !! They have always had lsd .

 

All s2000's have a torsen LSD from the factory.

 

maybe he ment the "kia mod" where people drop 4.77 gears from a kia into the diff.

 

if you've ever got a real problem working out if it's got an lsd or not, stick one wheel on snowy/wet grass and one on tarmac and wind the power in. eventually, the car will pull itself free by distributing only a limited amount of power to the free-spinning wheel and the rest to the wheel with traction, as opposed to a car without, which would simply distribute the power down the path of least resistance.

all s2000s have an lsd as standard. period.

 

as an aside, to search s2ki, just go to google and search for whatever but type "site:s2ki.com" (without quotes) at the end.

 

All S2K's have a Limited Slip Differential, period. Some S2000 enthusiast you were talking to

 

I've never had a problem with the search here btw.

 

Either you heard wrong or the person you were talking to doesn't know jack about S2ks.

 

He's right, not until 2002 was the lsd standard and folks used Hyundai LSDs out of their rwd Tiburons. Oh, and Honda is making the s3000 for 2010 which will make 300hp out of a 3.0L V6 that's related to the unit in the NSX and weigh less than a miata, and speaking of the NSX the next one will have a V10 and should be ready about the same time.












Sorry, couldn't resist.
