Default Spoon Diff?

What L.S.D. lube is the best for Spoon diff, before and after break-in period?

I am confused.

The Spoon differential that was sold for the DC2 was a Torsen unit.

Is that not so w/the Spoon units for the K motors?

That really surprises me. Thanks for clearing it up.

Spoon parts are usually "improved" Honda/Acura parts for use in the endurance racing that Spoon puts their own cars in. I'd be interested in knowing how and why this clutch differential was developed!

I am just wondering, for those of you have a clutch type LSD, how often do you change your transmission oil?

I drive my car daily and I take it to a road course once a while, the oil is being changed after each track event, is it consider to be too often? It is pretty expensive to change oil after every track day..
