edinlexusV8

I have a Torsen LSD centre from a 1997 Supra MK4 RZ TT 6 Speed Manual Transmission. It is an 8" crown wheel (dont know what this is exactly). I am planning to replace my open diff with this one. I would like to know what other bits are required to do this? I could not find any tutorial with images about the steps to do this replacement using the search button. If any of you guys have undertaken this before please could you throw in some pics and info about your work. Thanks

Now I cannot do it can I?

I agree with you but just don't have deep enough pockets to buy one

What do you guys think about this? Swapping an NA or 2JZ-GE and tranny for a 2UR-GSE and 8 Speed Auto box AA80E woule be great I suppose The new 2UR-GSE from the new 5.0 V8 Lexus ISF comes out of the box with 300KW. Add a supercharger on the top of that, you will be laughing Suppose this will be the new engine for the new upcoming supra! Would be very interesting to see the first project of this sort! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_UR_engine The following image is from wikipedia :sex: Attachment is from the rollaclub

I would say 2UR-GSE from the new 5.0 V8 Lexus ISF (300KW out of the box) + Add a supercharger on the top of that, you will be laughing Also the tranny for this is an 8 Speed Automatic with good fuel efficient http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_UR_engine The following image is from wikipedia Attachment is from the rollaclub

Wow I love this car esp the way it looks, I find it pretty but not so much the interior and the engine bay!

The best I am getting is £194.99 God! Missed the fantastic offer!!

It is a 2UZ V8 engine so I dont think you can use the turbo kit on an NA (I may be wrong tho).

Hi, Does any one know of any body who does a full stainless steel exhaust system? I am also looking for an X Pipe in the centre and 2 Straight through Mufflers (possibly twin ones) on either side. Also is it a legal requirement to have a CAT installed on the exhaust? Thanks

Kevan you are missing one of the main points in both the links, which is, in most of the other European countries it is mandatory to change your wheels in winter. It also talks about reduced accidents due to the use of winter tyres during winter. I agree with your point about friction that friction is a factor of mass. But to achieve higher friction you should have proper area of contact between the tyre and road surface. This is exactly what winter tyres achieve. They are made of harder compound rubber, have deeper grooves in the tyres for keeping the water/snow/mud out and prevent aqua planing. Also most of the winter tyres have lesser width compared to their all weather/dry weather counterparts. Also one last thing is dont just consider the air temperature to be the temperature of the road. Esp during evenings and night times the temperature of the road is much lower than the air temp. Esp we are worse off having RWD cars during winter time, so we more than any body have to look into this and swap the tyres for safety reasons. Or at least this is my opinion. Cheers

Very sorry to hear that mate.

Correct me if I am wrong folks, JZA80 is UK spec toyota supra model and this model has two engines Non turbo - 2JZ-GE (same as J-Spec?) Twin Turbo - 2JZ-GTE

Found this on the other forum why would anybody do that to a motor? What is the point? I dont get it!

Mine feels quite a bit nippier than usual

Thanks matey, will contact them and see what they can do for me.

Thanks Dek

Hmm .. Thanks for telling me this Andy. Probably I will just get a soarer one then.

Lost you there, No idea what you are talking about mate! Looks like going slowly is one option

Ok Andy got your point. Thank you.

I am interested mate, get me a decent price. Not after the tyres, so if you want you can still keep the tyres. Let me know when you want to sell. Thanks

Another website saying the same thing http://www.tyreadvice.co.uk/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-winter-tyres/ Hmm... Chris what would you do during winter if you travel pretty much every day 40 miles each side to work?

Have you got any contact for this guy? Or atleast the name of his company would be great. Thanks

ha ha good one! No where, just want to be on the safer side!

You might be right regarding the number of bad weather days but some of these websites state otherwise http://www.etyres.co.uk/winter-tyres-law Not sure what to do. Worried my chrome wheels might get spoiled during the winter.

Anybody selling cheap stock wheels or wheels that clears big brake with possibly 8j at the fornts and 8j/9j at the rears?? Just after a cheap set 17" or 18". Condition of tyres do not matter. Give me a shout if anybody have these available. Thank you
