Help understanding limited slip differentials

[wizurd]

Hi all.

 

I've been doing some searching and reading. If this has already been answered feel free to send me to the location where it's stored on the forum.

 

Basically am I right that the 350 UK gt model which I have does have a lsd 1. So not a 1.5 or 2.

 

My understanding is that this means it only works as such in acceleration.

Mainly I'm interested in why the diff that comes with my car isn't that good for drifting and what you should be doing if you wanted to improve not only drifting but the application of power from the car to the road.

 

I thought that the diff works by putting more torque through the wheel that's still got contact with the road and is therefore (probably) spinning slower I. E. The inside rear wheel when turning. I can't figure out why this doesn't work well for drifting or how it can be improved upon for general Road driving applications.

 

Am I also right that the diff I've got is by standard a vlsd one?

 

Any info, links etc welcomed.

 

Cheers
