I have an Elise series 2 with the Rover K series engine and gearbox.

Does anybody know if a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is available for this car, from somebody like Quaife, or Kaaz. Web searches have turned up nothing for me.

This is the same powertrain fitted to the Rover MGF, and I believe there is a LSD option for the MGF, does anybody know anything about it?

Thanks in advance

I need one becuase I often get an inside wheel spinning up. When it rains, when I push hard in 1st or 2nd gear around a 90 deg bend, and on the track around similar 90 deg corner.

Also, I like to oversteer :), and you can't do power oversteer very easily with an inside wheel spinning up!

Thanks

I have a friend who fitted an LSD to a 944 Porsche. He is a very experienced driver, it improved his track lap times by around 2 seconds on a 2 minute lap.

The simple fact is, even with my low power elise, I have been experiencing one wheel spinning in both wet and dry conditions, and I wanted to know if an LSD was available to limit it. True, on the track I only experienced it on one particular corner, and that was when I was trying to provoke a bit of "fun" oversteer.

aletes thanks for your help, you answered my question

Cheers
