Who makes LSD's for the UNO???

Hello All,

I am new here and I am asking this question for a friend.

He has a Uno race car with a 1600 tipo block running standard Uno G box. He has been searching for the longest time for a LSD, as you can imagine a 700Kg Uno putting down 150 whp at 8000rpm has just a little wheel spin.

Please PM me or post with some links if you can help.
Much Appreciated.

Re: Who makes LSD's for the UNO???

The only slipper diff's i know for the Uno's are for the Uno Turbo g/boxes. I've got one and it came via Avanti Engineering in Somerset. They also make up close ratio boxes (which is in my box) and the alike, so you may want to talk to them, search for Avanti Engineering and you should find their site.
Or you could try and tempt me to sell it to you

Re: Who makes LSD's for the UNO???

Thanks Guys!

I will pass all the info on.

Unfortunately 550 pounds is about 300,000 New Zealand dollars!!!!!

Nah, I think that is not a bad price. They were suposed to test last weekend so should be interesting to see how the new 45 DCOE's went.

Later

Re: Who makes LSD's for the UNO???

Well 'slapper', I thought 'Kiwi' when I saw the first post, since the Tipo engine transplant doesn't seem popular in the UK.

I just happen to know someone with a Tipo motor in his Uno (well more accurately one of jjhepb1's Uno shells that I towed back from Palmy and over to Te Awamutu with my Lancia!)

And I was looking at the DCOE setup the other day (I think, though they were hidden under a rather large aluminium air scoop so they could have been DCNFs, I didn't look closely enough!) This is Blair Thomson's Uno I'm talking about - it's red rather than yellow...

Cheers,
-Alex

PS. 550 pounds may be $AffordablilityNZ300,000 to us, but in real $NZ it's only about 1600...

Hmmm... I guess Halford's may not cater to the style of performance modification that we were expecting, then...

Re: Who makes LSD's for the UNO???

This is for super uno, Do you want to sell your LSD, if so how old is it and what model gearbox do you run? Or do you want to sell your complete gearbox?

How much did your LSD cost from avanti?

At the moment we have to build a new gearbox every 10-15 race meetings, which aint to flash on the bank ballance. In saying that though they were not designed to put 170bhp or so thought them,
Cheers

Slapp

Re: Who makes LSD's for the UNO???

Which gearbox are you using?
If it's the 70SL 'box (which is basically a FIAT 127 design: 45bhp), you might prefer to convert to the Uno Turbo 'box, preferably the later type with the gearchange linkage inside the car. It's a Tipo 'box, so would be much stronger.
