Yeah, I have read those downfalls, but it will do for now. I could always rebuild my other diff with some MK3 Supra components, or a Kaaz LSD....

I will wait till I make more power tho.

Re: Project Sexus
 

Does the MKIII use the same case also, or just the guts? Just wondering if they are a straight swap or not, cause if they are I I know about 10 people with MKIII's and I'm sure one of them has a spare laying around if you ever decided to go that route.

Re: Project Sexus
 

Almost sure its a straight swap. I didnt research it a lot because I didnt care that much at the time.

Re: Project Sexus
 

OHHH YEAH!!!

I honestly dont know why LSD's aren't just standard on RWD cars.

Got the diffs swapped. What a chore. I will never understand why you would want to use machine screws to attatch your half shafts to the diff, all you end up doing is rounding out the inside of the damn things. Thank god for vice grips.

All in all tho, was the swap worth it?? HELL YEAH IT WAS! It works like a champ.

One wheel wonder willy is no more, say hello to two tire tommy!

Re: Project Sexus
 

very nice. Where is the burnout pic?

Re: Project Sexus
 

It was almost 11 before we got done (started at 3). And also I dont have enough power :(

Next rainy day tho ;)

Re: Project Sexus
 

:lol:

Re: Project Sexus
 

Well.... I havent actually done anything cool to the car recently, but heres a list of shit that has happened to it/i've done to it this winter thus far.

Replaced a main tire because of a pothole
Replaced my spare tire because that went flat too (the next day)
Replaced a license plate bulb (not a simple task, thank you Lexus)
Went to replace my sway bushings because they are bad, wrong bushings, or wrong bushing brackets... Its complicated
Replaced the bolt that was missing on my brake caliper... Car is a lot more quiet now.

I'm mulling around what to do next for this thing. I keep debating between a suspension drop, or putting on some headers and a Y-pipe... Power, or Handling.... decisions.

Re: Project Sexus
 

power

Re: Project Sexus
 

Well..... More power is on its way soon.

I broke down and ordered in (what I hope are) OBX Long Tube headers off amazon. Seemed like people were either or on Megan vs OBX. And the Megan stuff was about twice as much just for the header, a header they don't even list on their website. Also the my.is guys seem to like them... then again... it is the my.is guys....

More details later whenever it finally shows up at my door.

Re: Project Sexus
 

Also, this has since replaced my desires for a suspension set up or supercharger....

Re: Project Sexus
 

Nice. Those OBX ones I'd bet will work just fine! Got any pics of the couch in the trunk of the IS? :)

Re: Project Sexus
 

Where did you get that furniture set? Looks nice JW

Re: Project Sexus
 

I got the couch from Becker Furniture world down here in B-ville. It is pretty legit, the center sections can hold a 12 pack and the ends recline.

Re: Project Sexus
 

Those couches>any car purchases haha I wish I had nice recliners.

Re: Project Sexus
 

Why didnt you just get the solo end section with the cup holder attached? Or are you going to play lonely musical chairs at home with your cat to break the rest of the seats in. :D

Re: Project Sexus
 

LOL

Couch looks really comfy though!

Re: Project Sexus
 

Haters gun' hate.

I do have other friends besides my cat and you ya know. It doesn't matter that they are imaginary.

Re: Project Sexus
 

Lounge furniture discussion in a thread titled "Project Sexus".

Note to self: Never sit on that couch.

Re: Project Sexus
 

That rule should apply to 90% of the flat surfaces in any place I live.
