If you choose to ignore my advice, so be it, it makes no difference to me, but the fact you say it makes no difference who I am is essentially saying my experience counts for nothing, shows you have no intention of actually listening to what's being said, regardless of whether the person saying it is a total newb or someone who has competed in D1 and been drifting for over a decade. It may indeed be down to preference, but anyone running a less than locked diff and says they prefer it is actually just tuning the car to make up for deficiencies in their technique. If the thinking was that a diff with less lock was good for traction and stability, then why does no drifter EVER run a stock LSD?
Why do you think drifters will ALWAYS either run a mechanical 2-way diff (something like the Nismo in my R32 which is 80% locked, or the shimmed standard diff in my E92 M3, for instance) or a welded diff (such as that run by the current Polish Drift Federation Champion, or by me in ALL of my school cars which include R32's, S13's, E46's and JZZ30's). Obviously in an FWD you do not want as much lock in the diff, as it will cause understeer, however, that is NOT the case with RWD. When turning, the inside wheel is unloaded, therefore you need to send the power to the outside wheel in order to accelerate without spinning power away on the inside wheel, hence why powerful rear cars (regardless of FWD or RWD) run and LSD under acceleration. Locked diff = More traction and stability, less manoeuvrability.
Open diff = More manoeuvrability, less traction and stability.
The whole purpose of an LSD is to increase traction.
