My next project, im looking to make a Drift car out of a 1st Gen,
However im pretty sure they havent got an LSD as standard?
If not, Does any1 know of one that will fit? or where i can source 1 ?
Also id be looking to uprate the Suspesion in some way, are there any kits avaliable ?
Thanks

You'll be very lucky to find an lsd in this country, (I managed to get one last year from an old rally car). It depends how much you want to spend and whether you will use it on the road. New ones are available at mazdatrix or the cheap way is to try a welded diff...don't know how suitable they are for drfiting, they're OK for racing but can cause low speed understeer.

series 1 diffs are drum brakes and are 24 spline axles diff head is same as series 2
series 2 diffs are solid disc brakes 24 spline axles and same head as series 1
both diffs are same width and 4x110 stud pattern both bolt into each others chassis
series 3 are ventilated disc brakes are 26 spline axles and have langer flange for driveshaft
still bolts into s1-2 housing but have to change side gears and flange
series 3 diffs are wider cause are front wheel drive offset and are 4x114.3 stud pattern
hope this helps
there are other vehicles to source l.s.d heads from i am trying to find out will let you know :)
ps you could always lock your single spinner head but chews tyres and breaks axles and is to dangerous for road use :) usually heads for nearest power poll :) so ive heard :)
