PLEASE, don't use this poll if you haven't PERSONALLY DRIVEN a manual-transmission honda/acura with a limited-slip differential. And I could care less about drag racing, sorry, so no all-out tuners.
This is for my daily driver and AutoX car, my 5th gen Civic with a B18B swap. I'm shopping to do this during the summer, as soon as I have the extra $$$$. I'd like to go ahead and put a lighter flywheel, along with a good handling LSD into the stock transmission. If I need to go to a GSR or Type-R tranny, that can be done, but again, I like the low-speed pep this car has right now... I just want to improve on the handling characteristics. Is there something to be done with the final drive to make it a better car for my purposes?
I want to hear experience!... Seat time!... People who have driven an LSD: What kind was it? Would you rather have another type (gear, clutch, helical)? What handling characteristics (under 40mph, harsh cornering) did it display? Was it easy to launch into a curve? How did it handle in long, sweeping curves under hard throttle?... and what kind of tires/surface were you on at the time?
Thanks.
