Are there many other '82 models with limited slip differential out there? If you have one, say yep!

Short of laying some rubber on the road, how can i check if i have LSD?
Can i jack up the car and rotate a wheel and see which way the other wheel turns?
Is there a special number stamped anywhere?
Sorry, not very mechanical. Bodywork yeah , mechanics nah.

Highly highly unlikely to find a US S2 931 with LSD. From 1981-onward, all US 931s got the Audi based gearbox. I've heard that LSD was an available special order option for the S2 cars, but frankly I'm skeptical that it was available on US cars. It may have only been an option for ROW cars which retained the G31. I have NEVER seen a US-spec S2 with LSD. Not saying they weren't out there, certainly could have been special ordered, but as I said, I've never seen or even heard of one. In fact, I've never seen or heard of an Audi gearbox with LSD prior to the 1986 951.

I had an 82 N/A with LSD. Light blue w/tan interior 4 lug spiderwebs with a 931 rear spoiler. I bought it from the original owner that told me he bought it off of a dealer lot. I have no clue what happened to it because it was my ex-wifes car (before we got divorced) and she took it with her.

I have to concur , ive not seen any 81-82 cars with LSD, very rare birds indeed. My 82 931 was ordered with about every available option and still no lsd. with the rare marketing package and sports groups, i tend to think if the original owner could have had an lsd, he would of.

I think Porsche did this on purpose. The Cayman doesn't have a LSD because it would be as fast as the 911. I guess the 944 was coming soon and the rest was history. Ford and Chevy did this too. The 1990 Mustang was rated at 225 hp and in 1993 it was 205 and the Cobra was 230hp....why??? The Tuned port engine was "detuned" (underated) a year before the release of the LT1 motor.

Well there is a black plastic shield covering the radio mounting hole. It can be pulled out if one would like to install radio. But no speakers in front, back speakers are in the usual spot.

Just my 2 cents...

At least in the German options pricelist for 1981 S2 models the LSD is listed and its not even very expensive compared to some of the other options... I wander why it hasn't been a popular choise
Below prices are in 1980 Deutsch Mark... but you get the idea by comparing the figures

Sperrdifferenzial 40 % (LSD), Option #220, Price 990 DM

Schmiedefelgen 6Jx16 (Trashcans with tires) mit Reifen 205/55 VR 16, Option #395, Price 2.490 DM
Kälteanlage (AC), Option #573, Price 2.250 DM
Herausnehmbares Dach (Sunroof), Option #650, Price 960 DM

I guess Mikko you are one lucky dude!
