When someone asks me to build a custom 6 speed with LSD i have to buy three gearboxes just to build one, a C52, a Mk3 5 speed LSD box and a Celica C60.

Is there a direct fit LSD for the Mk1 anymore?

In the case when the vehicle is turning and neither wheel is slipping, the inside wheel will be turning slower than the outside wheel.In this case the inside wheel will receive more torque than the outside wheel, which can result in understeer.

After 9 years I'm pretty used to the handling of a Mk1 by now and Ian Clements will confirm I can make full use of all grip in the corners.![]()
