The OS Giken is the way and the light. May there be mercy for man and machine for their sins against my S2000.
May there be mercy for corner entries and exits for their sins against OS Giken.
This seals it for me. I need an LSD.

How's the low speed driving on cold fluid like? And in tight spaces like a parking lot? Noisy, lots of clunking?

No noticeable difference driving on cold fluid that I have noticed. I did notice a few little clunks initially when backing into parking spaces for maybe the first week or so, but really nothing at all anymore.

It really is corner entry and the transition to throttle that makes it amazing. I have really yet to take full advantage of what this LSD will allow me to do I think. It just lets you get back on throttle so quickly and the behavior of the car under braking on entry is incredible. Quick transitions in quick corners on varying camber roads are also much more predictable and quick to settle the car.

It is one of those things where I never really had much of an issue with the stock torsen, but it really just comes down to the response of the OS Giken that makes the difference. It is like the differential already knows what is coming is always ready to deal with it (not really how it works, but that is how it feels driving), where the torsen feels like it settles into what is happening and then reacts.

I think the Weds look great, that's why I still own them. This website on the other hand, looks like trash.

It looks like a lot of other forums but is decidedly a downgrade and would fail the "inferiority test".

I hope it's at least cheaper to run and maintain than the last one, so at least SOMEONE is benefiting from it aside from the person they paid to do the switch.
