TRD Japan has a (very expensive) LSD kit for the Vitz RS. Not sure if it'd fit the Yaris or not, they share the same engine.

Any LSD that works with an AE92 Corolla works with the Yaris, that should give you plenty of options.

Kaaz limited slip is in stock, part # DBT1621

It is a 1.5-way LSD
(functions on acceleration only, good for "novice drivers")

$925.00 list price

How much is the TRD version?
It is adjustable 1.5 or 2-way (functions on both acceleration and deceleration)

Lol, a grand for something that no yaris can ever need that bad. Even with a built boosted engine, these cars are going to hit what, 150 wheel hp? Sticky tires...

I spin the inside tire all the time when I drive hard.

Just sayin, there is no way I can justify buying something like that for a car that has very little performance in it... It's 1 grand, and the install has to be a bitch. And you will still spin your inside tire with an LSD, you just won't lose all power output to that tire...

Other than that, good luck on the purchase. Let me know how much faster it makes you...

well I would definitely agree that this is a silly and expensive mod all by itself, but...

let's say I'm going s/c or turbo with a ported and polished head, standalone management (AEM, for argument's sake), and I"m going to combine the LSD with a lightweight flywheel and a stronger clutch while I've got the whole thing apart.

Starts to make more sense then, I think. And a project car is a project car -- IMO -- people put 50k into a used piece of junk to turn it into a racecar - why can't we with our $11,000 super-cute sporty liftback?

TRD is 1.5 way LSD. List price is 90,000 yen = 748.53 USD

Hmm, my mistake then. I read this and didn't see the FF/FR distinction:

Quote:
The TRD mechanical LSD is 1.5-way selective, and can optionally be switched over to a 2-way without any additional parts. (It can only be 1.5-way on Vitz models and 2-way on FR vehicles.)
So, the TRD one is cheaper but requires long-distance shipping? Or is that available in the US?
