Precisely!

For that amount of money it becomes unrealistic and if I'm going to go that deep in spending then I might as well buy a used Evo Maktrak and have it retrofitted. Then I'll have a 6spd sequential + front and center LSD's....
I just hope everyone is factoring in sales tax and shipping when they put their names on the list. It's easy to overlook those simple details.

Having been following the various threads about these units for years, we have been working away to find a solution to the lack of an LSD for the Celica GT4/Alltrac.
We have been in talks with many differential manufacturers ourselves over the years, and communication went stale with almost all. However we have some news which hopefully should be music to some ears!
We have secured an exclusive deal with Quaife Engineering over here in the UK and we have a limited batch of Quaife ATB Front & Centre LSD differentials being manufactured at present . These will be a DIRECT FIT front/centre replacement and will feature a Quaife lifetime warranty like all of their other ATB units. Will can also supply Genuine diff bearings to go with them if needed. Anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of driving with a Quaife ATB, these things are a fantastic piece of kit. Strong, built to last, low maintenance and silent in operation.
These are due to be completed in late March/Early April 2016. I will post up pictures and so on once I have the units in stock, and from that point we can look to sort out any payments and shipping for anyone who is interested and i'll get a proper thread put together.
Costwise, initially looking to cost you guys over in the USA circa $3000USD plus shipping from the UK. Circa £2000GBP (plus VAT if you're in the EU).
Its taken a bloody long time to get here, but finally there will be an option. Looking forward to getting my ST205 apart and trying one of these out for sure.
If anyone has any questions, then please feel free to fire me over a PM or email me direct on mike@tuningdevelopments.co.uk
Many Thanks
Mike

Maybe I'm being overly cautious but someone we've never heard of turning up and claiming to have access to a part from a company that recently told us to pound sand screams "scam" to me.

No, at the end of today we still have 0 options
It'll be pouring when all three options are on the shelf ready to sell & ship.

rallygarage":3qn93qxt said:Now if somebody could build us a sequential kit with rally ratios. Like maybe Samsonas or SQS. I will probably build SQS H pattern dog box next.
