MX5 LSD vs Open Diff

[@MapexMiata]

Your laugh at the end made it all worth it

[@jasonlyle3818]

You can see him doing a one-wheel-peel coming out of the corners!!

[@mattl2k6]

Everyone knows that little chuckle you do when your mate doesn't something daft !

[@jimmyc7322]

Nice track, what mx5 event was this?

[@DepakoteMeister]

Do they even make cars without a diff? Do you mean standard diff versus limited slip/viscous/TorSen diff?

[@Phil_Barker]

Yeah mine has a Torsen. His didn't have an LSD at all

[@Wip3ou7]

Not all Miatas are made with LSD. In the current iteration of the Miata (ND 2016+), only the Club trim has LSD.

[@ceryni11]

Most standard mx5s are open diff

[@DepakoteMeister]

@@ceryni11 Correct. My question then is still valid.

[@thatsright2352]

No , your question is stupid not valid 😅 just learn a little more donut media and the old mechanic guy (dont remember his name) already made videos of this topic like bunch of other channels

1.6?

[@Phil_Barker]

Both 1.8's

His late braking also had something to do with that result

[@titchster]

It didn’t. You’ll notice the brake lights have gone off before it snaps. It was down to incorrect suspension setup - hence why it can be seen spinning the left hand wheel (and only ever the left) out of most corners. It was practically lifting that inside rear wheel around left hand bends.

[@yayeo6520]

@@titchster so that could be fixed with a different suspension setup? Like what setup

[@titchster]

@@yayeo6520 Not necessarily a different setup, that same setup would be fine, but without the two rear coilover bodies being set to two very different lengths meaning one had considerably more damper travel than the other.
