yeah i'm tryin. like i said though i never thought i would lose my job, money was good then and if i would have known i would lose my job i would have waited a couple more years for the FD. its all good though, things are just gonna have to wait for now until i get working again.

 

Hey Casey, I looked up that mazda shop that I was talking to you about and it is R & R rotary in Glendora. Have you or anyone else heard any feedback about them good or bad?

 

I have heard nothing but good things about them. Never dealt with them personally but a lot of people reccomend them.

 

Yup, same here. I belive Rob knows them REALLY well... right?

thre is a R&R Racing as well.... at least there was.

I have never dealt with either of them, the only thing I remember from word of outh was that one of them REALLY sucked, and the other was really good.

 

Yep I went to school with Steve @ R&R. There number is 626-914-8182.
Thanks Robert

 

Hey that's kool undisputed however u need to do to get what u need

 

If i didnt work for an auto parts i would probably do the same!!!!

 

Thanks a lot for checking, Alex. I'm going with new bushings this time around. The Moog arm is an upgrade for the SA's - - uses a 2nd ball joint instead of bushings, much stronger. Used for 1st-gen racers.

Congo-rats, On both counts!


(congo rats, heh)



You'll get better mileage out of the ring than the tires, is my guess.

 

Does anyone know how to tell a GTUs differential without driving it? I got a PM from a guy that said he bought a parts car and was told it had a GTUs diff on it by the gut he bought it from. Also, will I need anything besides the diff to swap it into my s4?

 

thanks Glen, haha, yeah the ring will last a whole lot longer than tires. plus i should have enough to throw some new tires on just the front since that is where i really need them right now.

 

Just this, I did some more research and found out it is a direct bolt in.

 

I'm sure its a direct bolt-on (N/a to N/a) but idk how to tell the difference between the GTUs and Others

 

Thanks guys, Hey Rob I beleive it was Steve over there that I had spoke to. They seem like they have a nice little set up over there

 

Nice little post count you got there...

 

Haha, nice 2000!

 

jason easiest way to tell is to spin it and figure out the gear ratio. stock Na is 4.10 and gtu's is 4.3x

 

Ok, thanks Will, I'll have to just do some math I guess. Darn

 

Or just watch it and see which spins faster.

 

That's kool glen my buddy has a rhd original sa from japan and ive order those bushings twice for him already he's hard on he's car and cuz its boosting 15 psi doesn't help either but ill let him know about that option thanks

 

I'm not sure if the same part # would work for an RHD... wouldn't it be angled backwards? Not sure if it's symmetrical.

Maybe they have an RHD variant, though.

 

I think its the same because the pitman arm is the same but i could b wrong i don't know sh*t about 1st gens a lil' but not much i'm an open book on 2nd gens though

 

My new tow vehicle. 2003 Dodge ram 1500 quad cab w/ hemi powered V8.

 

^ Cool, who's RX7 is that?

 

My buddy's GTU'S clone.

 

Very nice Rob!!! That truck is a beast.
