ok. i was jsut wondering i dont have a welder and wont have one till like this winter. im jsut going to wait it out and buy a nice one right off the bat. but i was hoping that would be a nice little upgrade. ill look into what IJ did and see what i can come up with.
also how hard will it be to daily drive that car with a ford 9 inch will it make a noticable difference in handling? because this is going to be like a summer car. take it to cruises. to the track. and go to small events that my uncle and aunte hold at their dealership maybe stick it sideways every once in a while. would the ford 9inch still be the best idea?
what?
depends on the gearing......
to tall, sucks at the street. To short. Sucks at highway.
For the work, both will require about the same. Ford 9" will have a vast array of different gearing. MKIV rear end. Not so much choices.

ya what owudl be ebst for like in the middle. i want decent highway driving becasue this car will make some trips and the street it will have a little fun like i said might slide it around a little go to the track jsut a overall street/strip car. but im choosing between 3.73,3.90,4.10 any ideas? and would mig welding be strong enough for the welding or mine as well go tig?
thanks ya tit still all ahs the stock undercoating on it. but i can say the underbody is minty as ever. im jsut going through debating to do ford 9 inch or beef eveythign up on the stock and jsutg et custom axle shafts and everythign amde. becase this car will be up for sale in the future. to get a nice start towards a mk4 payment. but im loiking the ford 9inch idea but have to look more into it. any threads or write ups on it? i cant find it in ij's what i did today thread haha its only 392 pages
Why change the MK3 rear end for an occasionally beat daily driver?
The stock LSD rear end is rather durable,and can handle quite a beating at moderate power levels.
And there are a few choices of gear ratios(I believe 3.54:1 is the lowest you can get in that housing)IIRC the factory offered 4.30,4.10,3.90's,maybe a couple more.

Factory rears for mk3 A70 Supra from lowest to highest:
3.727, 3.909, 4.100, 4.300,
And there is a Turbo A spec rear end of 3.2 which is very very rare! :aigo:
We can go lower until 3.5 which is the limit on our rear 'case'....:naughty:
Jawsgear custom made this 3.5 gear and pinion...
The mk4 rear diff is only good for the V160/V161 Getrag 6 speed manual trans. Otherwise there is no need going that route.:nono:
The twin-turbos mk4 supras that came with the 6 speed getrag... had either a 3.1 or a 3.2 rear (jdm spec only).
So with the 5 speed R154 trans of the mk3 and the mk4 rear (3.1 or 3.2 rear) is useless. Some people even
say that the 3.7 rear is quite tall....figure out. Though I love tall gearing,and the 3.7 is ok with me!
The mk3 rear is an 8 inch diff
The mk4 rear is an 8.5 inch diff for the first years (93.5 - 95 models)...
after 1995 the mk4 had a 8 inch rear diff like the mk3 :biglaugh:
Stock mk3 trans & rear diff can hold up to 600 rwhp with all kinds of abuse
and driving style.And up to 800 rwhp being gentle with 'it' and not doing
1/4 miles on the dragstrip :sarcasm:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.............................
Damn expensive option as EVERYTHING was custom if I had to do it again I'd find an existing Big IRS pumpkin and adapt it to work.
Haha thats just nasty...
But yeah, why change out the rear-end? If it is in question, have it rebuilt, they are not weak.
Or maybe you are nuts and have a ton of money like Ian....:icon_razz
