LSD is standard on Eunossss i believe. 1.8 Therefore i think its a Torsennnn.

Supercharger would be great but i struggled to get the ok for the car so lets wait and see! :thumbsup

TORque SENsing = TORSEN ... :)

(Chances are it'll be sh*gged and act as an open diff, if the car has more than 70k on the clock...But you never know...)

Good shed, anyway - I've quite enjoyed punting mine around, and look forward to tracking it in the not too distant.

<blatant plug>

Just about to stick my spare rims up on MX5 Nutz - Bought them as a set for trackday tyres, but ended up getting a very good deal on a set of Rota's already fitted with R888's...

Looking to offload these - 1.8 Mk2 Sport wheels - In VGC, fitted with Goodyear Eagle tyres (only 3-4mm left) - Good basis for a track wheel, as one of the lightest OEM designs (5.9kgs per wheel).

Image

PM if interested - Going up on Nutz tomorrow... :mrgreen:

</blatant plug>

P.S. Forget about the supercharger - You want one of these:

And a T28 turbo for some real fun... :P

Nice one Ed! Time for some top gear stylee graphics down the side :thumbsup

I may very well be wrong in saying this, but I thought the LSD was only introduced on the mark 2 MX5 :?
