How to tell if a miata has LSD?

Post by Dan133 »

I am in the market for an 02-04 Miata with 6 speed, LSD and if possible Sport suspension pkg. does anybody know how to tell if any particular car has the LSD or suspension pkg? Have been looking on the internet and don't want to spend a lifetime chasing out to look at cars that are not going to fit my needs.

Thanks,
Dan

Call Mazda corporate (1-800-222-5500) with the VIN and they'll tell you what the car came with when it left the factory.

If you want to get down and dirty there's a differential spotters guide on miata.net: http://www.miata.net/garage/diffguide/index.html

If you're really bored you can read about our Miata exploits as January's Miata(s) of the month there: http://www.miata.net/motm/2009/claffie.html
