good to start with. ok hears some things you can do

1.find a wrecked 7 with the 5 lug and swap the hubs, brakes, and what ever you need.

2. find an lsd, most likely from a gxl 87-88 and swap it in, it will go in directly with no probs.

3. put in a performence clutch (act is good)

also how many miles?

a little high on the miles, if you read the faq you would know that rotorys realy only last from about 150,000 to 200,000, but my 90 gxl rolled over to 200,000 4 mounths ago and then i wrecked it (totaled),and no you cant have my lsd or my 5 lugs they are being used for my compleat car build botem to top. im rambling so anyway just look in wecking yards you will find a 5 lug car sometime. as for the lsd they are a rare find and are expensive. im shure there is a speshulty shop someware around there just look.
