Is there a LSD being manufactured for the roadster

Post by jr02518 »

The stars are singing up, I have a need and the finances are going to be available. Who is currently building a LSD that will work with a stock Roadster rear end? I have a pumpkin that is not in a car that I can use as the recipient.

Any ideas? The growing number of new owners could provide an audience for new customers.

Giken makes a limited slip spool for the roadster H-190.

Or try to locate an RX7 LSD and have it modified... get disc brakes in the deal (not that it makes much difference...)

There are two different cariers depending on the gear ratio. One for the 8 tooth pinion ans one for the 9 tooth.

What ratio are you looking for. I recently pulled my 4.89 and installed a 3.70. Tired of 4000rpm's on the highway!

I was going to stay stock for a 1600.

The stock 4 speed will be retained. Currently the car has 14"Falken 615K's.
