lsd help

Hello, I recently owned an 86 gxl, unfortunately it got written off . So in search for a new second gen I found an 88. Although it wasn't a gxl, it was modded with the Big breaks and some other stuff. But when I bought the car I realized after it didn't have a Limited Slip Differential. I am kind of worried when I start to drive it, it won't have the same feel as my old one.
So my question is, how much will it cost to add lsd to my car?
Thanks.

You could get one (OEM or Aftermarket) from Rotary Performance www.rx7.com . They have the stock ratios and some others.

I doubt it you can tell the difference.
Most people can't with regular driving.

I don't have an LSD and I notice it every day. Some of my driving is a bit "irregular" though...

Look in the for sale section here and at torquecentral.com You will usually find at least one LSD setup for sale.
