Rookie Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 You should camber the diff while you are at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63Ragtop Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 no sleeve needed inside the welds? looking very tidy, like the willwoods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Jesus that looks complicated. Imagine the sadness that would be induced if an axle snaps and you are left carless for a while. Are there no 'off the shelf' axles of the right lengths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 no sleeve needed inside the welds? looking very tidy, like the willwoods! Nah, factory they're devoid of any sort of sleeve and the weld is more substantial now that it ever was! A lot of it of course in the name of keeping the whole diff straight though. Jesus that looks complicated. Imagine the sadness that would be induced if an axle snaps and you are left carless for a while. Are there no 'off the shelf' axles of the right lengths? Nothing off the shelf to shorten a T code diff to wedge into a KP, in fact I've never seen anything off the shelf to do a job like this for anything? Probably a range of axles to suit Ford 9" or something though. The other way to shorten is to cut and weld the axles back together, retaining the original spline. This is heaps cheaper. But the likelihood of breaking an axle is far higher. This way lessens the chance of snapping an axle, plus being a big axle (Kouki) AE86 diff the axles are tougher than a Zenki diff or TA22 T code etc. Fingers crossed axle breakages won't be a thing with this car, especially given the light weight and comparatively skinny tyres it'll be running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Does a good job. Just have to make sure you don't overdo the requisite baked goods payment otherwise the food coma kicks in and the weld quality suffers greatly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronze Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 This is my fave PS Gran Turismo car. Well, maybe in green. None the less, you're pretty much clocking life with this build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 /should of kept a k in it. lol. This is like telling someone to keep the 3AU in their AE85, but worse. If there was ever a GT version of a starlet back then, I'm sure a T series box and a 4age would be what it would have. It looks better in the engine bay, sounds better, revs better, and you dont have to build a hand grenade to get 150hp+. What's not to like!
