Models without LSD - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Which models don't have the Limited Slip Differential? I see the repair manual mentions "non LSD"... so are there 3 options : Non LSD, LSD and LSD Torsen? From what I know mine is LSD Torsen because that's what's written on the marketing material, but how could I check?

All the models have a Torsen LSD!

Harvey · 05-29-2014, 04:15 PM

That's what I thought.... so why do the manuals have sections dedicated to non LSD differentials?

That's a great question haha!

Isn't there some poverty spec model that's Japan only that doesn't include a LSD, or much of anything else? Maybe they just translated everything and put it in the manual, or just copy/pasted it from a different car since they're lazy.

The JDM RC versions don't have a limited slip differential. They're pretty minimalist -- unpainted bumpers/mirrors/door handles, 16" steelies, stereo/ac delete, interior trim delete, etc.

The Toyota GT 86 RC Spec is powered by the same 200 HP 2.0 liter, naturally-aspirated petrol engine found in the standard model, but only a six-speed manual transmission will be available to partner with it. The limited slip differential also gets tossed out to save weight.

Thanks for the link

That seems like a racer's dream... if it's marginally cheaper. Always chuckle when I see people on car forums (mostly elder folks) that don't want "none of that fancy bullshit."

I wish it had manual windows, but that would be a no-go without the frame. I don't know about your car, but there is no fancy shit on mine! ETA: People are slacking. Wont be long until making your Monogram look like the RC will be the cool-kid thing.

It's not "poverty spec," it's "race ready."

In Australia we have two versions of the 86, GT & GTS. The auto GT version currently has no LSD but I believe that the 2015 models will have it included.

They introduced the LSD onto the GT spec in Aus on the 2014 model.
The 2013 and 2012 86 GT models had an open diff.
