Any idea what kind of power the Toyota Pick Up LSD can handle?

 

should be good for around 400-500 reliably...past that im unsure...with some moser axles it should be easily good for 500+

 

Do you know it it's a 1 way, 1.5 way or 2 way LSD?

I was thinking about doing the Ford 8.8 but I'm a bigger fan of Toyota.

 

That is nice and all, but from what I know about AE-86 suspension geometry, that does not look right. I have been taught that you should never have a trailing arm suspension set up with the arms being in the position pictured. (the upper one) and they should at the most, be level with the ground. Are you relocating the arms a little bit because of the rear end swap, or is the setup a compromise? I'm not bashing at all, just wanted to note that. Your 1st gen looks really nice btw, proper race car!

And I'm a a bit of a n00b, so please feel free to educate me.

 

^ That link is angled downwards with the original RX7 axle as well.

Well if the camber plate is loaded in the way I think it is, given that you said it's a camber plate, the fact that the plate is merely 1/8" thick would be the reason.

And aluminum doesn't bend eh? Don't tell that to the aerospace industry, they'd have nothing to make fuselage and wing skins with.

 

Well, aluminum will bend once. Try to bend it twice, and that's where you run into problems.....

 

its a 1 way...i have mine welded though, however they do make aftermarket 1.5 and 2 way diffs for these toyota diffs.


as far as the trailing arm goes, the picture shoes it pointing slightly upwards however, it is pretty much level..

...also, im pretty sure i shouldnt have any issues with anything breaking on this setup, however if something breaks i'll be sure to let everyone know. how it broke and why.

it's been 5 months since the origional post any updated pictures?

 

wow...this dude got down with the get down nice stuff...maybe i missed it somewhere what coilover is that in the pic above

 

sorry guys im slipping, im starting to feel like JimLab right now. Get some awesome thing done to the car, but then wait another 3 months to get more progress...eh, its never ending.

I did however drive the car twice now (then started having motor issues) and with the t3/t04e turbo, traction was non existing in 1st and 2nd gear with street tires...lol

p.s. however did launch the car, and no wheel hop issues

 

oh and there megan racing coilovers for a nissan 240sx...alittle to stiff, however i plan on going with a better brand and a less lb damper/spring setup.

 

and i still need to order the front coilover setup (respeed setup) however between buying a house right now, and just dumping 3500 into the wifes bmw...i lost my play money...oh..and on top of that im in the processes of gathering some $$$ to buy a repu....damn busy times!!!

 

Nice setup...looks like i need to add something else to my list of things to do. My cousin is a really good welder so this will get done probably when i get the cage made.

Keep up the good work!!!

 

That is f-ing sweet!

 

lots of power...

Okay, this is the third old thread that you've pulled up in order to post your for sale thread. Shameless whoring, if you ask me.

 

holy high way robbery batman!!! i built my entire coilover setup for less than 1500 bucks..

...1000 for that setup would be more like it.

as the toy 8" only cost about 200 bucks from a junk yard, and then maybe 500 worth of work to cut and weld the old perches....

$800 mark up hurts

...btw im getting 600 bucks back from the irs here soon, so thats a full engine rebuild and then on to the front suspension!!!! yay!
