    hi
    i raced them many years ago and the best diff that we used was an anglia diff
    that way we could use the wide range of ratios that were available
    we used cortina discs on the front as well
    i am sure that early corolla diffs may come very close
    what model sprite ?
    nostalgia is not what it used to be:
