Is there actually a noticeable difference in handling between having a locker and a decent LSD? I wouldn't know as I have a welded diff and don't know any different. I'm want to go f series eventually and will probably get a LSD because my car is a street car and the locker is annoying at times.

1974 MX22 MARK II CORONA HARDTOP COUPE - Awaiting a full restoration
Yea I wouldn't have gone to the effort of getting someone to convert it. I actually originally thought the car was coming with an F series that's why I bought it but the found out the year of diff donor and turns out its E

yes there is a great deal of difference between a welded diff and a good LSD. An LSD will unlock itself when you are casually turning a corner or parking in carparks making the car behave a lot more predictably and easily. If your car sees hard driving you won't get that all or nothing effect like the welded. Where u have to be on gas all the time or it will grip and under steer or worse will just break traction completely and spin the car right around. This is not fun at speeds.

Cheers for the info!
Obviously I know what it is like to drive with casually and in carparks but I always assumed they did the same job whilst up it as a LSD locks under load. But as you said and it makes sense when you back off through a hard corner the LSD will let go and let's the outside travel further again giving you max grip and stability. Correct me if I'm wrong
Sounds about right to me
Although if you back off too hard if its a 2 way it will lock under the decel force and make the rear slide. It has a much more predictable threshold than the welded though
I've noticed the locker will do that when backing off too hard.Cheers for the info I will defiantly be considering an LSD with my next diff as i just have a stock borgy ATM behind an sr20de. It's not going to hold up forever. I have my first track day next week and will hopefully enter plenty more.
No dramas, yea an LSD is deff the way to go. Good luck with ur first outing :-)
LSD diffs are great. Awesome for weight reduction too. Your wallet will be much lighter...
