Gearbox pulled apart. The diff is completely stuffed.
MFactory 4.0 FD and Helical LSD ordered.

Oh wow what the hell happened to the diff? I have a oem lsd if you're interested also a stock open diff.

Not sure exactly. I pulled the axles out and 3 pcs of the diff fell out. When I removed the diff it was broken inside the bearing as well.
I did notice that one of the bolt holes that holds the intermediate shaft to the engine block was stripped so maybe the shaft was moving around??? Has anyone else has this happen?

I have ordered an MFactory LSD diff but thanks for the offer.

Get new bearings to suit your diff too.

Let's not get carried away. I will be happy just to get it working well. Then performance mods will be on the cards.

Damn.yup,lets see though

My mates is the sir ii.

so jdm b16a sir ii

Thats a mouthful!

edit: hang on,if the engines are the same weight then its just the difference if body weight yeah?

3-400kgs sounds too much! eg hatches are light as.I owned a 73 Leyland LS in British racing green.Loved that car...but again a mate had the cooper S..grrrrrrr

Man that car sounded and went good.
