Do I need to call my dealer and request my #8 order to have a LSD? Or do you guys think I am out of luck?Randy Chase said:Not that some of us ever doubted it.
Remember though, for SCCA legality, it HAS to be a factory option, not a dealer option.
We understand this to be a Torsen.
it's really not a hard job to put in an LSD but it does take some time. The only part that really takes skill is to set up the differential once you get it out. Any differential shop should be able to do this for you. So, is it a shadetree mechanic's job? Maybe not. But it surely does not require an F1 pit crew.Cale said:So I guess I will also have to retrofit since my order already went in as well. So excuse my not taking notes before, however, about (just an estimate) how much will this cost? Should the Lotus dealer do this, can a Toyota dealer do it? Can I assume that this is not a shadetree mechanic's job?
Hmm... that might be just around the right time.cantwaitforelise said:How far down the line do you think this will be? I know this is only speculation. I'm #51 at Overseas Motors.
So is it going to be Window Pane, Q-bert, Orange Julius, or Rainbow?zvezdah1 said:HI All,
Got an email from Tony Shute confirming that LSD WILL be offered as either a factory or dealer installed option, no other details at present.
I know this will make some autocrossers happy!

Right. As I understand it, the LSD will be offered on 2005 model year cars.LeftyS7 said:About retrofitting, my understanding is that you can add (retrofit)a feature only if it's on the current model. If it comes on a later model and you add it you would be in Street Prepared. So if the SCCA considers LSD equipped cars to be a later model than the ones first sold you CAN'T convert your earlier model and stay in stock.
