What NB models has LSD?

Postby guitarman » Wed May 15, 2019 5:59 pm

As the title says. I know 10ae, SP and SE models comes with LSD standard. Are there any other NB models that comes with LSD from the factory?

What is that titanium NB is that a special edition or something? And also is the 2001 LS mx5 only limited to USA?

SP never came with any LSD although most were perhaps retro fitted with LSD afterwards

The heritage came with a 6 speed ABS lots of other bits but no LSD
The 2001 came with Extra heavy wheel & Camel toe coloured seats. Lots of other bits but No LSD

The Excecs at Mazda AU had a real problem with LSD. Could have been a cost cutting excersise

The Titanium is a 2002 special edition, but as mentioned has wheels and interior trim but nothing else.

From my understanding the following Aussie NB models had an LSD:

10th Anniversary (Torsen)
SE (not a torsen, but a similar design, Fuji something diff?)


Japanese models were more broad in their LSD availability, from memory the NB8A RS came standard with an LSD (and 6 speed), and I believe that in Japan any model could be optioned with an LSD.


I would not be shocked if there were a few oddball NB's from Australian Dealers that were optioned with an LSD, if a buyer was willing to pony up the cash for one a dealer would have happily made it happen.
