Weyro Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Anyone heard of these before? They are an insert for an open diff that mimics the functionality of an LSD.Lots of positive feedback about them.And they are only £200 roughly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This was looked at for the 4wd. They are cheap but. Unless they are fitted absolutely perfectly they will distroy the gear box. This put off the 4wd owned as you don't want to be buying a new one of them. Should give it a go. Get some feed back for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 These were quite popular in the almera gti's. Some people liked them, some people said they might aswel have welded their diffs together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 yea you get different springs for them, depending on how hard the springs are is how much it slips ive emailed the dealer in the USA to see if they have one to fit a starlet My car is basically useless in the wet, and i cant afford to buy a proper lsd lol, so its either this or buy a pulsar haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I found out about them from my mate who has an mgb. Thing a lot of them run them giving good results. It just needs to be fitted perfectly from what I understand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weyro Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 good read there, yea grant you're right, the tolerances are tiny. Would be best to have the gears ground at a machine shop like that guy said, but if the prices stacks up alot your nearly at oem lsd money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just got an email back, they have one that will fit GT/Glanza boxes, and it would be £220 delivered ($350usd).Better get saving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Go for it! Some one need to try them out. Shorty needs a diffs for the goat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
