Buy it anyway

Try it might have the LSD in it anyway. Rare as hens teeth and might be worth a try !

Mine cost a small fortune. Is it 7"

it wont have the lsd in, cos if it did then the owner would know and charge a lot more!

Id rather a freelander diff myself all day long. 3.21 ratio, 6kgs lighter and only £150 for mine on ebay.

iv just taken my 3.14lsd out,,it was ok for the road but a bit tall for the track .on the road it still hit the redline in top but id rather lose some top end and have more drive mid range .the 3.62 i had in it first was just silly i was hitting the red line in top everywhere and anywhere,it got there so quick it felt like it needed more gears .gonna try the 3.38 now and hope its a happy medium .but saying all that im running a busa and i think they have different gearbox ratios than the zx 12
