CR Developments have teamed up with KAAZ USA to offer the Starlet community there option of 1.5 LSD.
What does a 1.5 LSD do and how does it work?
For a front wheel drive car the best option is a KAAZ 1.5 Way LSD.
Just like the KAAZ 2 Way LSD upon acceleration the pin moves the plates out and locks the diff and in turn limits the wheel spin or slip. But upon deceleration the pin moves to a new position but only applies ½ the force as if it applied the full force the car would be unstable under braking and deceleration.
When acceleration around a corner you will "feel" the diff working for you and through the steering wheel you will feel the diff pulling you around the corner. This can be a strange feeling, but you will find that you also now have much higher exiting speeds.
As well as 1.5 and 2 way KAAZ LSD, KAAZ also offer the KAAZ Solid Type. The KAAZ Solid Type uses RS plates and offer a much better reaction time when a LSD "Locks" up. Take some time to read about the KAAZ Solid Type LSD.

Quiafe Differential
Description -
The unique gear operated Quaife differential design has improved and consistent traction out of corners which leads to better exit speeds and shorter lap times, whilst eliminating the unwanted torque-steer, under-steer and snatching characteristics of other types of LSD.
Because the Quaife differential is gear operated there are no friction plates to wear or break. The Quaife differential is fully automatic in operation, is a direct replacement for standard unit and retains normal axle lubrication systems (minimal maintenance is required for all Quaife differentials).
The Quaife differential is CAD designed, CNC machined, and inspected to ISO9001-certified standards. They are manufactured from quality-certified Corus steel billets. Over 100,000 Quaife differentials have been sold and still in circulation worldwide and are used in all forms of Motorsport, such as Formula 1, rallying, truck, drag and drift racing and are used as original equipment by Ford, General Motors and Daimler-Chrysler.
Price - £700 (Delivered UK)
Exedy Cerametallic Paddle Clutch
Description -
EXEDY Cerametallic clutches are designed to handle the abuse of high powered modified engines. Our cerametallic friction material can handle much more slippage than stock type disc assemblies without slipping and fading. All cerametallic discs feature spring center dampers to reduce impact and shock loads.
This disc tends to engage quite harshly and chatter a bit. As such, it can be harsh clutch for driving around for street/town use.
Price - £300 (Includes delivered in UK)
Exedy Replacement Standard Clutch
Description -
Standard Replacement Clutch from Exedy for both EP82 and EP91 at a much cheaper price than the OEM part direct.
