February 27, 200818 yr comment_230308 yeah well now i have to go down the expensive road! anyboady got a bigger diff they want to sell me? Hey chris , i know it wont be cheap but i know a guy who's got an R31 borg warner out of siluette. They come with disk brakes and LSD from factory aswell as 28 spline axles and are the same stud pattern as corolla. He wants $300 for complete diff as its in good nick and then its got to be chopped down, so it wont be to cheap. I know the guys at craft differentials well and marty k from this forum is a good mate of mine and he just bought one from this guy so maybe you guys could get them cut down at the same time and ill speak to craft and try and work out a good deal. Marty's diff is going into a ke30 so they would both be cut down too same width, also on those diff's only one side gets chopped down as they are longer on one side than the other so should be cheaper than getting other diffs done. Let me know if your keen :yes: Report

February 28, 200818 yr Author comment_230461 ok i have sorted out my diff situation. Thanks radrollaz for your offer but ill have to pass, this guy offered me a diff that i committed to just before your offer. What I'm going with is An F series diff out of a MX13 MkII corona Supra MA61 LSD center Corona RT142 Avanti disc brakes with internal drum hand brake I'm getting all the parts needed for this diff including new bearings, spacer rings for the disc brake conversion, hand brake cables and rear half of tail shaft. This diff measures 1410mm wide so i wont need to cut it down as ill get around 20mm per side extra length then the ke30 diff, and with the wheels i have on the car now, the extra width will fill the guards nicely! Also the diff is the stock ke35 pcd 4x114.3. So all that will need to be done is grind off the MX13 mounts and weld on my ke35 leaf spring mounts...easy :yes: Report
July 4, 200818 yr Author comment_258257 Finally getting the project moving again, I started putting my new diff together. I got the MX13 diff and gridded all the mounts off it and dropped it off to Craft diffs who put on some saddle mounts and brake line brackets on. I brought it back home and cleaned up the housing and gave it a paint. New bearings were put into the MA61 LSD center and the axles. I also bought new discs, pads and caliper seal kit for the rear disc set up. I bolted it all together ready to put into the car. Since the diff is 45mm wider than the standard ke35 one it makes my wheels fill my guards nicely. I have to buy new U bolts to suit the diff, so once i get them i should be able to get the car back on the ground. I'm also in the process of cleaning up the rear calipers to paint them the same colour as the front. Report
July 4, 200818 yr comment_258348 Sweet car mate, you have continued millers work very nicely. Great engine choice ;) Glad to hear you have sorted the diff, and keep at it ;) Report
July 5, 200818 yr comment_258452 Hey Chris looks great mate, so i take it your bringing the 35 to Wiseman's Ferry then ;) Be there or be square dude ;) Report
July 7, 200818 yr Author comment_259025 yeah hopefully my car will be on the road by then! The other day i got some new U bolts bent up for me so i was able to bolt the diff down. I cleaned up the rear calipers and gave them a coat of paint, then bolted them to the diff. Now i got the car back on the ground, this is what it looks like now. I'm still going to drop the rear down a bit more. Not much to go till i try and get it engineered...next thing to do is save some cash to get the tail shaft modded to suit the new diff. Report
