Nice one mate, will drop him a message

Handy to know. Direct from Mr T or can you boys source one?

Condition not overly crucial as will be repainted.

SRD sell bride rails that should do the job.

Perfect, thanks mate. Price sounds fair. If you PM me your PayPal address I'll send you some funds + PP charges.

That'll be great, thanks mate.

No probs mate, cheers for digging out the heater controls anyway.

I have a spare unit on order, but the AC amplifier is the little box that sits on the headunit when you remove the dash panel. I think it has abs written on it. If you do have one, I'd be interested in taking it off you.

Ahh, thanks for the feedback. It's good to know what's what as the market is so volatile.

Thanks buddy

Looking for an AC Amplifier, part number 88650-1464. It's the little box that sits on top of the headunit.

Tbh, I've never really heard of anyone wanting to move from a small case manual diff to a big base manual. The goto (from my recollection) always used to be the big case auto for acceleration.

I'd be putting it up for 2.5k if it's complete and working.

Doesn't the auto diff match up better for acceleration?

There's a few of us going to my knowledge. The weather doesn't look too bad. The drive up will be fine and the drive home looks nice. Will take a brolly for the day in case of any showers.

Awesome, good to know. Yeah, I've done my fair share of removing old bushes for poly in the past so no drama getting it done. I'm not going to lie when I say it's a shit job, but it's gotta be done.

Thanks, I'm refurbing all my control arms and subframe bushes this winter and was worried poly bushes might be too stiff.

How's the handling?

Gotcha mate. Happy to share any info I can to help with the decision. Yeah, when I said it'll help fund the 8.8, I meant pay for it. ... Although, I would like the IRS subframe to go in at the same time if I can stretch the budget a bit more.

The problem is finding a big case euro spec diff if you break one. I don't think moving to a 9 would give a desirable final gear ratio with the T56 in terms of matching it to the Supra. The 8.8 Ford set up is something Grannas Racing has put together specifically for the T56 - Supra swap.

Gotcha. My worst fear confirmed. GR offer a soft diff mount which will also reduce gearbox harmonics so it could be an option. That along with their billet 4.11 ring and pinion gear for the big case diff. I'm not really sure which way to go, tbh. If I broke the big case diff I would end up going for the Ford 8.8 so maybe it's best to sell the big case now (before it breaks) and then use the money to fund the 8.8...

Mini update... Suspension height raised so no more shredding the rear tyres in the arches under boost. Dash LED's fully working. Stereo working. Fuel gauge working properly. HVAC still not working and still putting out hot air. I literally drove back from Santa Pod today bare foot with both windows down. I really need to get to the bottom of why it's stopped working which will no doubt be some evening tinkering for me next week. Speaking of Santa Pod, I went up with Chris Pank and an old forum member Paul, in his R35. The car drove great and kept up with the other cars no problem. Something I've noticed is a slight clunk at the rear of the car during aggressive gear changes so I didn't make any runs along the drag strip and left all the fun to the lads. I have a solid rear diff mount which is no doubt highlighting some wear n tear in the subframe bushes. The eventual plan is to go down the Grannas Racing IRS subframe route and maybe a Ford 8.8 diff, but I have other priorities for the car so a subframe refurb will have to suffice for now. All in all a great weekend and the car didn't miss a beat.

Hi mate, yeah the box is decent, no doubt about it. It's an absolute monster when it comes to handling torque, shifts lovely and is brand new delivered to your door with on the shelf parts in the unlikely case you need anything. Yeah, if you go onto the Grannas Racing website and send your enquirey, Joel will come back to you. Something worth querying on your enquiry is the RHD fitment as SRD had to make some extra room in the trans tunnel on the swap they did for a customer. I never had this issue on mine, but maybe the bell housing adaptor mould could have ran out over time. This is what Ash at SRD has theorised as he could see there was plenty of room on mine.

I was going to put my name down, but looked at the calender and it's my doggos birthday.
