Lsd

[MikeLMR]

with the sort of power levels 80\'s rwd cars kicked out as standard you didn\'t really need a LSD, its a nice to have and not a necessity.

No, the Elford turbo\'s were reworked standard cars and didn\'t come with a limited slip diff.

i think toyota had the right idea though by putting a LSD in the RWD corolla coupe, that definatly made a £500 car a £4000 car, the Supra also got one, Nissan seem to be tight in the LSD department, none of there cars got a LSD only JDM variants got it untill mid 90\'s and then they started putting them in.

im sure though somehow a latter rx7 lsd diff could be transplanted in the gen 1 but somethings telling me that its not as easy as that

Hi all

I have an LSD unit from a 1985 GSL SE US model.  It will fit straight into any series 3 axel.

It has new clutch packs and is in very good condition.  It is complete in its housing so it will just bolt to your prop and slide into your axel,  no seals to mess about with.

It stands me in over 350 quid so i would like that back.  Anyone want to make me an offer over that.  It will also fit an EGI series 4 2nd gen.

Regards
Tony

I also have a brand new set of 4 tokiko shocks for a first gen still boxed and un opened.   200 quid anyone?

Hi,
not sure, where would it say, they are in my garage, i will have a look.

[antnicuk]

the model numbers are HE2317    and HZ1069,  it says on the box    Performance gas shock,  I havent opened them yet so it may say more on the instructions enclosed.

Hi antnicuk, I was just wondering about something? i thought that the series 4 second gen cars had an independant rear end so would that mean it wouldnt fit. Unless the egi\'s had a solid rear axel? Any help would be great. Thanks, michael.

[antnicuk]

The did have an independant rear end but the diff is the same,  the splines are the same,  Tim\'s LSD came from a US model series 4.  Instead of the splines going straight to the drive shafts the had UV joints attached for the IRS.

Hope this helps
regards
Tony

Hey thanks for that. I wouild love to see some photos of a rear end of a series 4 diff because I always thought that they were not interchangable.  Nice one, appreciate your help. I dont get to see many cars or workshops up my way!
 cheers,michael.

The turbo\'s are different.  The EGI 2nd gen has a gearbox very similar to the 1st gen also.  They changed it all when they turbo\'d it.  The back end of the TII is quite different to the EGI.

[travellinbob]

Actually now I think of it, the series 4 diff must sot inside a carrier unit, or a cradle of sorts to support it. Whereas the 1st gen series 3 diffs bolt into the diff housing. Do you mean that the clutch pack and gears etc are bolted into the earlier diff carier?
   Sorry for the questions, I am not trying to scupper your sale here. just genuinely interested.
  cheers, michael.

[antnicuk]

The unit i have has the whole front end of the diff with all cogs and clutches in place,  this just slides into the rear of the diff housing (which on the 1st gen is incorporated in the beam axel) and bolts up.

[Don Pamponi]

I wonder what kind of 1/4 times I\'ll get now that I got a slipper?
