I just bought my 00 s2k on monday. It is quickly becoming my favorie car I've ever ouned. Do do want some confermation on something though. I believe I've read somewhere that ALL s2ks came with a LSD. I seem to be breaking my tires lose rather easily. Can someone, just for my piece of mind, conferm that all s2ks came with LSD.

 

yes, they have a torsen lsd

 

Is your car still on the original set of S02s? Old rubbers become harder and don't grip as well as fresh rubbers do.

An analogy is try to rub a fresh erase on your desk; take the eraser to the freezer to freeze it for a week. Take the erase back out, defrost it, and rub it on your desk

 

Do you understand what an LSD does? You say "tires" (plural), meaning both drive wheels are breaking lose. If your LSD was broken or if you didn't have one, then only one tire would break lose.

 

LSD, not TSA (until '06 that is).

 

Oh THAT kind of LSD, I thought he found something stored in the car that mine didn't come with.

 

In all honesty I couldent tell if it was one, or both breaking lose. That was why I was asking. If tires are breaking loses realy easily, you can see where I might get the idea that there was no lsd. But aparently there is, so it's just the power of the car that is causing some noise when leaving a stop, or shifting hard into 2nd.

 

Or .............................
1. The road surface was cool and/or moist with dew or had some other loose material (oil, dust, sand, leaf debris, "cobblestoned").
2. Your tires are either less than 50% or wrong inflation pressure.
3. You were moving off and rounding a sharp turn and "giving 'er".
4. You accidentally or on purpose did a rolling clutch drop.

 

No, it was rather dry, at about 90 dregrees. The tred is rather good, seeing how I bought this thing from a dealer and tires are inflated to 32 psi. I was shifting at about 8500 rpm under full throttle. I was just surprised that the car had enough torque to cherp the tires.

 

This would qualify as a derivative under:

In this event, it would be hard to tell whether it was one tire or both. You've got a lot of noise happening and the landscape is whizzing by at a good rate.
