    MKIII Supra Build (Project John Doe)

    Thanks man, it did take some time...but it was well worth it in the end. If you were closer I'd hook you up! haha. Yeah, that's exactly right...you have to buy a hub that fits the mkiii column, and then just make sure it has the same amount of mounting bolt holes for the wheel, as the wheel...

    MKIII Supra Build (Project John Doe)

    Hey thanks! I thought It was a nice touch. Well it's not too harsh just a lot of bolts and harnesses haha. Take everything out, gauge cluster, radio, climate control...then drop the steering column down. Remove the glove box and inner trim panel. Center console needs to come out as well. Then...

    MKIII Supra Build (Project John Doe)

    My new pistons and rings came in, so I took the pistons and a complete set of rods (I had an extra to replace the number 2 rod that got scarred up pretty bad) to the machine shop so they could assemble them with the new pins and bushings. While things were getting wrapped up at the...

    MKIII Supra Build (Project John Doe)

    Thanks man!! Yeah, I like the pre 89 tails...They just didn't seem to fit the look I was going for. Yeah I love the look of the mkiii's with a sunshade, a guy on here (KevinM) does a group buy every so often, pretty reasonably priced too!

    Quick diff. question

    Only the N/A supras came with 4.30 gears. It was an open diff unless you ordered the optional posi unit. The turbos all came with the LSD (posi) rear ends. There were 2 different ones depending on the year, up to 89 used a 3.91 and 89 and up used a 3.73

    Quick diff. question

    IJ Thanks again, I did some checking yesterday, the tag on my firewall reads G285 which if I'm correct means it originally came with a 4.30 posi unit...but counting the rotations at the diff the DS stops about an inch short of a 4th revolution soo a 3.91 has been swapped in at some time (not...

    Quick diff. question

    How do I do it? 5th gear and mark the DS. 4.30 turns per one of the axle?
  18. DOHCtorB

    Quick diff. question

    Thanks IJ. I knew it would be a 4.30 if genuine, but even if the numbers are right on the my firewall tag, I want to check the diff. itself. So hopefully I find a tag on my fill plug. What if it has been removed? How does the counting turns method work? lol Sorry, just trying to cover all my bases.

    Quick diff. question

    Hey all, I have a really quick question for anyone who knows. I'm working on an 87 I've owned or 4 years now, and it's had some swapping done previous to me owning it. Its a factory n/a model, but it has a LSD diff. I'm going to check my tag tomorrow to look for the G285 marking. But that still...
