the S3 auto diff is a 3.6 :lolcry:

sumed it up very nicely there Taz Just thought id add that S1/2 are 24 spline axles and S3 are 26 spline axles. Therefore S3 diff/axles are a fair bit stronger. If you plan on running wide rubber/slick you may find the S2 to be a bit weak. you may find your twisting/snapping axles. Bit your not running a great deal of power so a S1/2 way hold up.

nah they do torque steer a fair bit even with traction control on. Nowhere near as much as some other FWD cars ive driven tho. For example the CooperS would be right up there with the worst IMO The XR5 is a fast/fun little car. And definitely one you could live with everyday as a daily. p.s. if your in Adelaide and serious about buying one shoot me a PM

YOU ARE MY NEW BEST FRIEND!!!

you might find a 3.7 to be a bit long......... I ran a 3.6 in my old S2 RX7 for a while (before changing back to 3.9), but it was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy to long. I'm talking 80 in first, 120 in second, 3rd was............... i think a 3.9 would be better if your looking for a taller ratio, altho i don't know why you really want to change it. I loved the 4.1 in my RX7. IMO 4.1 is perfect for an NA car

there a bargain, snap them up!

i think you'll be surprised to find the small weight difference between the two. And for added strength of the diff you couldnt complain. Plus if you have the power to smash KE diff then the added weight wouldnt be a problem. For example, the hilux in my S3 RX7 only weight in at an extra 35kgs heavier than the stock diff. It should also been noted that the hilux has an LSD and larger rear brakes, the stock diff only had a open wheeler. But your looking for a cheap/easy bolt in option anyway.

id be keen for a cruise as well. add another white 20 with whitewalls and venetians, mine might be a bit faster tho :)

very clean, very rare, very unique, VERY COOL!!!

^^^^^^^needs a big blower poking out the bonnet

i havent got work this time. I do however already have plans, but ill try make it to the meet point at least

looks like ill be talking to you more once i have the car running (not driving) :)

nice tight fit, just how i like it. I'm interested in how/where you plan to fit/run a dump pipe for the turbo/exhaust system?

got my L's first go with a score of 38/40 got my P's first go with a score of 98/100 :yes:

can you come and finish my car :poke: keeps the updates coming please

how much was the new seal if you don't mind me asking?

love: power to weight ratio, unquie, surprise factor hate: time it take to finish the thing

super keen to see how the coilover conversion turns out.If its easier enough i may well be a very good option for my car

your a crazy crazy man.................I LOVE IT!!! your old 13BT set-up was the inspiration for my car I have a few videos of it at a powercruise (i think) event from a few years ago, i still love watching

I'm also looking for someone to lock my '74 celica's diff

this post/man may have just saved you alot of time, effort and money :dance:

thats a very negative comment, i love the idea and even though if i was to do the same i would do some things differently i say good on you for doing something different to the norm. And when you look at it its not like you can't change it back at a later date :(

theres gonna to be some very crazy (read: stupidly fast) cars out for this cruise. Should be a good night out

sorry didnt make it. Long story, short version is i had to take a girl to hospital to get her stomach pumped

if i get traction.................... with the crent power and weight somewhere in the region of low 12's high 11's
