Confirmed, lift a wheel = 0 drivesupraguru05;1759214 said:I wouldnt use a torsen with R compound tires. I know two people have used them Dr Jonz and Prscokr and had some sucess with them but there have been noted failures. Also torsens, due to design, do not operate well when a tire is completly unloaded.
Never found that to be the case with mine.Poodles;1759251 said:Best term to use with a torsen driven at the limit is "spooky."
Poodles;1759287 said:Both Miatas have had torsens, and coming from driving something with an open diff or a clutch style, it feels odd. I found it almost feels like it's pushing you tighter into the turn instead of fighting you like a clutch LSD...

They did all that for a reason -> torsen is one of the engineering wonders of the past century - simple and genius at the same time!
For MA70 Torsen T1 is not an option ,not only the failures but the stress analyses on Adam's broken diff prove that. I still use the final drive from the very same differential with CUSCO internals ,but that is all that was rendered usable from his T1 unit.

On an unrelated note. Just saw that your from chicago I raced at autobahn in joilet last weekend.
