Do Canadian 85 GT-S Hatches have LSD ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Red_85_AE86 · 07-31-2004, 02:48 PM

I had it on the hoist and spun one tire and the other spun the oposite way .... does that mone there is no LSD in it ?

I have a FWD Mazda with a visous LSD and the tire spins the same way ....

Are there any good factory upgradable options ( other car model LSDs ) that would drop into my car ?

LSD was not an option in Canadian market AE86s. Sorry.

edit: they were available in US market cars, but you may as well just buy an aftermarket unit.

Canadian coupe ae86's have it... feel like kicking yourself in the nuts or would never drive a coupe?

Hopeful, I have a coupe. It doesn't have it.

I'm also looking at a scan of the 1987 sales brochure, and the LSD is not listed as standard or as an option.

Red_85_AE86 · 08-02-2004, 12:04 PM

Is there a rear end that drops in easy or LSD unit that bolts up ?

I heard people say supra rear ends .... but i want some pix and info on hwo to do it.

Red_85_AE86... as far as i know about the celica/supra rear ends is that it's a little on the heavy side. stick with the AE86 rear end just buy a good LSD. TRD, CUSCO, KAAZ are just some big namebrand LSDs on the market. each has pros and cons, do some research first. the supra rear end swap is being done if your making a lot of horsepower for they can take more abuse than the GT-S one.

those aftermarket LSDs are worth more than my car tought .... 600-1000$

4Aaron GE · 08-02-2004, 09:02 PM

Hopeful: those gas fumes from fixing my tank must be getting to me...... :p

Red, unfortunately, unless you can find one in good shape for sale, you're going to have to get it rebuilt, which will cost another few hundred bucks for parts and labour. Tommi Tiardi on this board is selling one. I have no idea what kind of shape it's in though. Check his ad in classifieds.

FC_RX7 · 08-02-2004, 09:10 PM

its sold voodoo.priest buy it.

check drifting.com or club4ag

trust me... LSDs are not cheap! if you wanna get a used OEM one, if you find one, you have to check it out because most of the time it's in rough shape so by the time you rebuild it you may as well save up get a decent BRAND NEW lsd. just my 0.02 cents. once i get my aftermarket LSD i might be selling my OEM LSD, hehehe
