Late to the party as usual, I'm reaching out to anyone who can help me choose the correct LSD for the X1/9 5-speed and hopefully advise on setting it up.
I write a blog about my build at : RMS Motoring Forum / Members Cars / The Ultimate X
Boy, this is a steep learning curve, looking back, and down at all the mistakes I made, such as trusting someone to build me a 'box with short gears and a LSD, early on in the project.
It sat for 2 years, on completion... all the time me thinking it was finished and ready to fit, until the engine was finished and just as I was about to join the two together, something made me think - that doesn't look right, and to cut a long story short I sent it to the bloke who built the engine, where it is now completely stripped down, he discovered there are short ratios but no LSD so I got ripped off.
Which leaves me very short on time to get the right part and the right setup, for what is (I say hesitantly), a ''fairly unique'' build based on a Lancia Prisma 1500 SOHC 8V, expected to make around 150 bhp @ 7,400 rpm, on throttle bodies with a programmable ECU.
(The engine build is documented in the blog).
Fingers X'd
