    Not practical ones, remove whole diff and take it to the scrap metal merchant. You need to do something custom or bolt in a T18 diff

    Not diff center, your whole diff and half your tailshaft, all of them will be no good to you anymore. Look up T-series diff conversion

    What is your budget? A t series LSD can be sourced for around 1-2k depending who u get it from and it's condition.

    If you can buy a tseries for that grab it an axle alone will set you back $200

    So youre that against fixing anything, youd rather be without a car?

    Go on part it out. haha.

    T diffs are in celicas and coronas too, theres only 2 cars that bolt in properly, t18 and ae86. T18 wont necessarily have a swaybar attached.
