LSD was standard on all 95 clubsports only

Optional for 95 and very early 96.

After that it was switched to ASC

It is safe to say that your car does not have one

Add where? Haha. Yeah this forum is very friendly. There is always someone that is willing to help.

If you want to make the car seem "Zippier" you can upgrade to a 3.73 LSD Med case diff from an e30. It will rev up faster, but pull more RPM's on the highway (about a 400rpm increase at 70).

Also if your ti is an Auto (instead of Manual), the it came with a 4.45 diff.

Default 318ti Open Diff?

Don't know what you are looking to do? Replacing a bad diff or just looking for info. If interested, I have a Stock Open Diff that I took out of my 98ti as I replaced it with a LSD for auto-crossing. It has low miles. If interested, let me know.
