Same here !!!
Just a few minutes ago...
I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Quaife ATB Helical Limited Slip Differential. FedEx Tracking tells me its already in San Diego since 8 am. I just ordered it yesterday morning.
I emailed Mr. Kevin Bird of Bird's Auto of UK, and he responded by giving me Mr. Harold Lin's info on how to get this custom differential in the U.S.
Harold then gave me information of how to get one by giving me the link to HPautowerks Inc.
He also told me that if there's genuine interest on the product he will give a discounted Group Buy price.
By the way, Mr. Mike Miller's (Roundel's Technical editor,Tech Talk) Old School Maintenance Schedule V02.11 is out. Email him to get a copy
or you can just PM me
.
More pictures to come...

Hats of for buying parts that are purely for go rather than show. A couple of questions in that regard:
- How many hours does it take to install?
- Do you take it to the track regularly? (I don't really dare to take mine to the track so I do my sliding when we have snow... obviously not much of that in your parts...)
- Have you tripled your tire budget or were you already burning up tyres and wanted more even wear.
- How many hours does it take to install?

Like what NavarroOne said, it's for go rather than show. 
Thanks Allen. I doubt it that the shop will let me take pictures during their install. But I'll try.
I've always wanted this upgrade since members Alex, mhs525, and Miguex put one in their cars.
No, I've never been to a track. I'll answer your other questions after the install.
