ProZac Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hey dude. Love your car, saw pictures of it floating around facebook and really wanted to see more details, great build thread! Your LSD issues in the rear will be a little tricky to solve, as like you have discovered 7.25" LSD's are really really hard to find. I rekon your best bet is probably to get a complete 87 - mid 90's L200 rear axle, have it shortened to fit, and adapt it to 4 stud and disc brakes. They're the bigger 8" crownwheels, and most have LSD's fitted. The LSD's are a really decent 'ramp' type too, much like after-market units, and work really well. Steve, that works at 'The Diff Shop' is a bloody good dude, and an old Mitsy fan, so could probably help you out with this. Fitting just the L200 diff head into other diff housings is usually a bit tricky, as the L200's have bigger axles with more splines (28 I think) than almost all of the car stuff. A Celeste is the only old Mitsy I'd like more than my Starions. I rekon they're the best shape of any of the old Mitsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyCoupe Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks mean, these cars do have some sweet lines, found myself liking them more once I got my sunny coupe. To be honest I'm more impressed with the house/wife combo at 21. Clocking life there son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
