I know its a Tochigi-Fuji torque-sensing limited-slip differential, just was not sure in terms of LSD what that is comparable to is essentially what I am asking.

Most of the older forum software, that I was familiar with would not allow this. It has been a while since I helped mod a forum, but this was not an uncommon request. We could not do it because of software limitations at the time. It may be possible, but then it comes down to desire on the part of the mods or administrator to do it. Only cure at the time was to create a new name. Of course you lose your post count and you look like a noob. To more directly answer your question, anyone with title of moderator should be able to get you going in the right direction.
Gotcha, well obviously someone will chime in to correct me if I am wrong, but your typical 1/1.5/2 way diffs lock on accel/decel depending on your diff type. The Torsen is always open until you are on the exit of a turn where it then locks up the outer wheel about half way. Never fully locks.

Now if the admins here allow name changes per policy is a different question

The info given is true, except:
Not true. That Administrators have the ability to adjust that too. When the name is changed, you won't see any difference other than having a new name.
Changing a members name wouldn't be a priority for an admin. Don't expect it to happen immediately. Remember the site staff are pure volunteers. We have a life outside of this site.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I used to mod a forum ages ago and name changes were possible, however we had 8 admins for 120-150 people making things WAY easier.
alnielsen; would zoom44 be a good individual to contact in this scenario?

Throw Out Bearing Part Number
I have been reading posts to look up the so called improved TB.
05' RX 8 6sp MT.
What is the proper bearing part number ?
I've got 4 different Koyo bearing #'s and One Act #.
RB0511J
1625495
1627855
RB091
My local parts shop carries a F853-16-510 that the book calls as the replacement. List $68 to me $42.
All of these bearings are listed , What one is recommended / less prone to self destruct.
I'm not comfortable with the noise/grinding mine is making.I'm not about to keep driving the car.
Thank You in advance !

Does all the 8s have alarms? I have not noticde that i have one until today when i was going to start my car, and mye battery was empty. I connected start cabels and when i turned on the ignition the alarm went on, i couldnt get it to start and I pressed the unlock button and the car alarm went off and the engine started on the next turn.

Cold start question.
When I start my 8 below 50 degrees outside it bounces between 2k and 1.5k rapidly like the computer can't pick a rpm. This is opposed to a warmer cold start where it gradually drops from 2k to 1k.
Is this a problem and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks!

Yeah I've been using Xero Ryuu for 8 or 9 years now, and was partially inspired by a ex-gf from 7 years ago... LOL I moved on that 7 years ago, but kept the name since i was already using it for everything. Recently I went ahead and started changing over to a new name for everything thats slightly more appropriate

Check Engine Light.

What does the Check Engine Light (CEL) Mean?:
The Check Engine Light, also known as a CEL or MIL, is a light that is lit up on the dash by the ECU when it detects something wrong. It is NOT comprehensive about everything that could go wrong. In fact, your car could be on fire and it wouldn't know. The ECU only monitors EMISSIONS related items, due to the US laws that were enacted in the 1990s regarding emissions and OBD2 compliance. There is a quiet push going on as of this edit to further expand the items monitored, which may result in an "OBD3" in the next 10-15 years. Also, note that it monitors far more than "the engine", for example the ECU knows if your gas cap is loose, and will throw a CEL code for a fuel system EVAP leak.
If your CEL lights up, you can clear it a few different ways:
1) Disconnect the battery without reading the code to see what is wrong. This also clears your fuel trims, audio head unit presets, DSC/TCS learned parameters, and your car may idle roughly for the next few drive cycles.
2) Go to an auto-parts store that will read the code for you for free, and then will clear it for you if you wish
3) Buy a code reader for less than a diagnostics fee at a shop, read and clear it yourself, and read all future codes on all your cars for free
4) Buy a bluetooth OBD2 dongle and pair it with your smartphone or tablet and an OBD2 app
5) Go to a shop and pay their one time diagnostic's charge to get the code for you
6) Go to a dealer and pay their even higher one time diagnostics charge to get the code, and then charge you even more for fixing it.
When the CEL lights up, there will be ONE OR MORE of these codes stored in the ECU. Some hardware failures will 'throw' more than 1 code:
