I have a UK engine and 'box, and there's no lsd.

To my knowledge the JDM engines differ only in the map, and the use of wideband lambda sensors, rather than the narrowband of the UK engines.

I chose a UK engine, as I was a bit wary of the importers, and also thought it might be easier dealing with the DVLA if I've got a uk engine that can be traced to a car / vin / year of manufacturer.

I thought about buying a LSD equiped 'box..... but decided that I'd rather have one wheel spin up as a warning, instead of both breaking traction in one go. From what I understand, this is why the Elise / VX220 don't have an LSD from the factory.
