Has anyone done an LSD installation yet? How did that go and what was the cost?
The website would not accept the VIN you posted when just visited.So I did some digging and I think I found the right MOPAR part. Here is the official MOPAR parts website: https://mopar.chromedata.com/NextGen/C1111#/landingPage
Use a VIN to pull up the car-- i grabbed a random Abarth VIN from Autotrader. For convenience, here's the one I used: JC1NFAEK4H0116928
Next, change the dropdown menu on the left from "parts" to "accessories".
Looks like the Abarth differential (68329082AA ?) costs approx. $750. Is that all that is required for the conversion? Am I looking at this right? Would love to get your thoughts on this.
The link and Vin combo worked for me. Perhaps you forgot to select Fiat first.The website would not accept the VIN you posted when just visited.
It's probably the GKN LSD found in the MX-5; and it's quite likely some shims will be needed to bring the ring and pinion gears back into proper mesh.
I was able to pull up that car, but was unable to find a differential, or major parts for an LSD for $750. They list parts for over $2000 that aren't even LSDs. The part number you have is for a half shaft.So I did some digging and I think I found the right MOPAR part.

Good-Win did this last year on their classica... complete custom job as there was (and as far as I know) still are no LSD options.Has anyone done an LSD installation yet? How did that go and what was the cost?
Big difference in final drive ratio between the ND MX5 and the 124.The website would not accept the VIN you posted when just visited.

Nope; but the topic really isn't the website.The link and Vin combo worked for me. Perhaps you forgot to select Fiat first.
The differential doesn't factor into the final drive ratio. Unless you are mistakenly referring to the final drive assembly as the differential.Big difference in final drive ratio between the ND MX5 and the 124.
That is a fantastic result - congrats!In the meantime, with big help from that Miata 2.9 rear with limited slip our Fiat took it's first Top Time of Day at BMW CLUB autocross in December. It beat every BMW, Porsche, Corvette, Miata, etc.
NC rear is unrelated, no plug and play.Has anyone (Good-Win?) investigated using an NC Miata LSD since it appears the ND differential isn't a go?
