Hey guys, newcomer here. I bought a n/a stock 86' executive a bit over a year ago and since then prety much all my pay has gone into sprucing her up a bit, and now ive just got a bank loan to see it converted to a turbo to get her picking up speeds a little quicker, after i get this eng. in, was wondering how would i go about finding a reliable LSD to sit behind about 380Hp (flywheel)??? Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just upgrade to standard turbo lsd and rear discs if the lsd isnt strong enough i guess u could put in a mini spool fairly cheap.

Spools are illegal, and wont be insured, so just remember that.

A spool would be good if your car wasn't a daily driver. Imagine trying to park in a shopping center with a spool.

I didnt say they werent more fun, I said they were illegal and not generally covered under insurance. I'm letting him know in case he doesnt, because he might be worried about it.
