Actually Vic, MVP are the very people I intend on having do the work....I live about 3 miles from their shop. As for the LSD in a FWD car, the factory itself installed a viscous coupling LSD unit on all of the 5-speed equiped R specification cars. One wheel spin and torque steer are real problems in that particular piece.

There are some difficulties with retrofitting the VC LSD unit to an auto car, as the diff housing is specific to the R spec version of the M56 tranny, so if i'm going to be using a normal M56, I would have to source the R specific housing - Bleh. As a result, I'm looking into some of the aftermarket clutch pack type LSD units on the market, and was looking to see if anyone had anymore suggestions for potential sources.
