just don't ask how a Torsen diff works ... that makes my head hurt just looking at it !

Its doing ok.

It has turned from a basic Triple (built with cost in mind) to a full blown monster (no stock parts)

So its nice to try some of my own mods on the Vert before they get the Acid test, i would'nt want to blow the Triple due to me Experimenting, But i am not 100% sure what to expect when its running anyway.

did you manage to find a new roof , or are you just using duct tape ??

My 88 Gxl has lsd. These following cars had lsd:
86-88 GXL
87-91 T2
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs (however not the 89-90 GTU)
It is also rumored that a few rare 91 coupes with both the A (upgraded the interior trim, added a power sunroof, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and 4 piston front disc brakes and vented single piston rear brakes) and the B package (leather seating, a CD player, and rear cargo cover) came with a LSD, but you should note that Mazda denies that any FC other than the T2 came with a LSD in 91). You can also tell by looking at the differential as there will be a LSD tag on S4 cars with a LSD.
