    4.1 torsen or 3.7 LSD on a 400bhp 1jz

    You have to look at what you would be doing with the car... Highway, Drag, Road Racing, Drifting.... Figure that out first.. What power are you running what tire are you running. What is your redline. Do you take the car on long trips or you just drive around town. The smaller the gear number...

    Has anyone else broken a shift fork or Isolated Incident????

    BTW the fork broke before I even hit 3rd gear... so positive stops or not its not the issue!!! When you break a fork you can write all about it and let us know on your genius solution for it. Till then STFU.

    Has anyone else broken a shift fork or Isolated Incident????

    This was more or less abuse and weak part IMO. But just wondering if there is more out there. If it is common we can have billet forks made just like all the t45... they have a weak shift forks... Friend of mine just broke on a T45 last year and got Billet replacements. Much beefier.

    Has anyone else broken a shift fork or Isolated Incident????

    Has anyone else broken a shift fork or is this just a bad one (Isolated Incident)???? Its an R154 3/4 Shift Fork. This is the third time I have broken the transmission in 3 mounts. I haven't even put 500mi since. Its getting retarded. I guess I should have expected it since I upgraded the...

    Dual Piston Front Brakes = Change in Bias on an ABS Car?

    The botom line is the car with or without ABS intervention is not setup coreclty. I would get it as close as posible without ABS and then let the ABS do its job... there are many ways to get it fixed. Anything from calipers with smaller pistons to different fiction coefficient pads to adjustable...

    Dual Piston Front Brakes = Change in Bias on an ABS Car?

    No I dont think you are geting the whole picture cause this ABS solenoids don't do anything untill the ABS system sees wheel lockup. The presure simply passes trough the ABS solenoid. That is in case the system fails you still have brakes... The MK3 has a very simple abs system and it doesnt...

    Dual Piston Front Brakes = Change in Bias on an ABS Car?

    The abs and non-abs systems do have external proportioning valve. It is siting on the left strut tower in the front. Its normaly painted blue. Wilwood has a adjustable proportioning valve you may want to try that... That would limit the pressure in the front brakes... But the fact is that you...

    Straight Cut Custom Gears for R154

    We can all agree that this is not a kit that you get just to be cool but because you have exhausted the limit of the stock transmission. By all means this is not for a everyday street car. From what I see of PPg's site they dont offer R154 kit but just W series... As far as the...

    Straight Cut Custom Gears for R154

    The price is not finalized by all means. It is just to gauge what the price limit people are willing to invest. The price might be more or less. I dont know untill the design is finalised. It will be a kit, likely consisting of first, second driven gears , posibly synchro less hub as an option...

    Straight Cut Custom Gears for R154

    There are different combinations that could be done with this, it would be easyer and cheaper if we stick with one option because having one offs will get expensive.

    Straight Cut Custom Gears for R154

    Obviously this is not a cheap solution so I'm trying to get idea on how many sets people may be interested in and also just get a general ideas about it. Considering I will be on my fourth transmission in 3 months. The marlin crawler parts are good but they don't address the real problem that...

    8.1 second Supra JZA70!!!!!!!

    LoL With the right setup and enough money anything is possible.... it would take ~1400whp in 3800 pound car or ~700hp in 1900 pound car. Its all about money in the end!!!!! "1. big daddy - 8.7 @ 165 - 3.0, AEM, Bullseye s480, PG" we have a member that is close to that time... Granted its 2JZ...

    Supra aero (body kit)

    I have one of the replicas that was imported here... I can supply it for making plug. I think the god father kit and the zeek are the only two that follow the natural lines of the car and dont look out of place. IMO I dont think that supra owners have poor taste. I think the automotive...
