spinning out, quote unquote is fine as far as i know , but if you start hopping your differential is seriously fu*****d, so ya know, just riding in the car should be enough to get the gf hot and bothered , works for me

Why would you need to buy a carbon LSD to do donuts in your S2000? It's not like it's going to make the diff housing (the breakable part) any stronger. Carbon clutch LSDs have clutchpacks that wear out over time. There is a host of impracticalities with some aftermarket clutchpack LSDs. $50+ LSD oil has to be changed very often, wheel hop on slow turns, etc. A lot of those LSDs are geared towards competition.
Your torsen LSD will work just fine for donuts. It's locking mechanism will outlast any clutching or VLSD unit only because it doesn't have clutches to wear out. There's a worm gear that shoves itself up against other gears to make the wheels lock at a certain ratio. Works every time.
Just don't use very sticky tires or launch from some ridiculous RPM or pop the clutch while the car is moving backwards and you can donut away for a long time before you break your shit.
