Re: Rear end help GTS with SR5 DIF???
Thanks for the fast replies. That measurement was what I needed. I’ll check them. Also as a side note the company I ordered from sent me the wrong diff, and since it’s been longer than 90 days I may be stuck with it and have to order a new one. It really stinks.

Rear end help GTS with SR5 DIF???
I'm currently working on a build and ran into an issue. I have a 1987 gts, and I'm in the process of installing a new LSD. I ran into an issue with the tips of the axle being too small of a diameter for the new LSD. To make matters worse when I opened the Diff I expected a spool but found a welded O...

Re: New AE86 restomod Daily Driver
The bushing kit install is complete. I encourage you to do this modification. It was much easier than I was expecting and results are amazing. With the suspension from battle garage installed and adjusted the car’s rattles and clunks have been eliminated. A few install pics will be posted soon.

Re: New AE86 restomod Daily Driver
This is really good. I can't honestly tell you about much reliability, but about twenty years ago when I was modding my USDM AE86's stock non rebuilt stock unopened "bluetop" I firstly used nawzz for about 5months (85hp needles). So that's about 180whp there. Then I turboed the poor thing...

Re: New AE86 restomod Daily Driver
LOVE IT. Basically you're combating the lack of air pressure in the mountains by lowering your compression so you can shove more air in there via turbo? Also, good call on overbuilding your motor. I don't understand why people build their motors and push it 110%. They spend more money trying to fix...

Re: New AE86 restomod Daily Driver
GEAR HEAD BONUS!! For all of you out there who love engines, I wanted to pass on my feelings about T-VIS. It's one of the reasons I chose an AE86. Now some high power Toyota tuners will remove it (which is fine for high HP cars), but it has a great benefit for turbo engines. It is amazing for reduci...
