I cant remember what i voted for before, but in any case my FCTII has clutch type LSD and my previous S14 also had been fitted with a kazz 1.5 clutch LSD after tossing the horrible VLSD it came with from the factory. After messing around with a friends N/A FC with a Torsen diff from an FD3S, and a Miata with also a factory torsen Diff.

I want to say I hope the FT86 will be equipped with a torsen, mainly because the locking characteristics just feel more responsive than my clutch types. Clutch types to me feel like they lock/grab smoother, not necessarily the same as "delayed/lagged". While the feeling of the Torsen was more direct and twitchy under load, and I am starting to prefer that response just a little bit more now because i feel more connected with the cars relation to the ground.
