I simply gave my car to Zoo Motorsport & it came out completed. Ive no idea if any company still does this conversion now.

I have a friend in Seattle Wash. USA who does a kit to install a Toyota Supra diff... Very strong.....

Hell this is nice, just add one Supra LSD and you have a stronger diff ,with 4 pinion gears, than virtually ANYBODY and a full range ring and pinions from 3.73 to 5.37 for CHEEP.

Drilled for US Xratty bolt circle or 2wd Cosworth bolt circles.
Assistance available in hooking up your propshaft...

Olek, will it be solid mounted to the beam, or have a diff mount to the chassis?

the diff is solid mounted to the beam, and the beam (with the diff mount) will be mounted solid to the car as well. along with uniballs on the traction arms

Gav Diamond: if the diff gets mounted like this surely it will be sitting low on the car? do you have any pics of it fitted to a car?
