Thanks Drew, will be getting the internals checked during the oil change so hopefully that will confirm which oil I should replace it with. -

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply. Is that oil suitable for both B-Series(Torsen) and the uprated TRD internal diffs? I guess I would need 2x 1L bottles for the change? How much would it be delivered matey? could you get it to me by Friday? -
Hi folks, I have had a search on the forum for suitable diff oil but thought I would ask quickly, if any member can help. I have a B Series Torsen diff fitted to my car and was told when I bought it that it was fitted with TRD internals (plated diff etc). When I bought the car the diff seals were blown and the diff had little fluid left, so I had these replaced ASAP and filled back up with 75-90. The diff does knock when turning slowly on full lock etc which I guess it due to the plates. I read on a thread yesterday that if it is a plated or TRD diff that 75-140 oil should be used. what are the general thoughts on this as I know some of the members here must run these types of diffs? the oil sounds a little too thick....thoughts and comments would be most welcome. Matt

Well the weather was pretty lame last night. I stuck around at the pub until 8:00 in case anyone turned up, but sadly it was just me. Hopefully the July meet will be more like Summer!

Sounds good Paul, shame you can't make it Steve - but I'm sure a holiday is more fun that what the weather is looking like for next week! I've just come back from New York and missed the UK summer that we had! Any more for any more?

Hey Paul, I've copied the info below from the first page. I've not been to one of these meets yet as my sup was off the road last month. Maybe see you there This will be held on the first Tuesday of every month at approx 7pm but may vary slightly depending on the weather Full address: St Leonard's Hotel 185 Ringwood Road St Leonards Ringwood Dorset BH24 2NP

Hey folks, random question. I'm off to New York this Sunday for one week. I should have most weekday evenings free, and most of the next weekend. So, what MUST i go and see? My very uneducated list so far is Empire state Chrylser building Iron building Brooklyn bridge Hms intrepid Kats diner (from man Vs food) Oh and central park ofcourse Look forward to some suggestions

These guys are based a few villages over from me and have recently done work on my Supra and my misses Evo. Really good work, and very friendly guys too! Currently they have done the steut brace in my engine carbon but i am looking at getting a few more bits done. The evo now has carbon bonnet and spoiler blade, unless being really really close and fussy it looks the real deal!

I could be tempted to come out for a drive matey, let me know what your thinking?

Wow, that second to last photo on the original post is soooo wide!!!! Dayuum!

Hey all, quick update as I haven't seen the car for over a week now I should be getting the car back Tues/Weds as the diff seals have now been replaced, and the service has been done. Just the brake lines and dyno run left to complete. The chap at the garage said the diff oil, auto box fluids, oil & coolant were all hanging! So a job well done I think I have been slowly collecting items this week to keep me busy over the summer. So just a few quick photos of them today. I have - A set of pre-facelift front seats from a very low mile car, in good condition. The drivers seat in mine was knackered, rocked back & forth and the bolsters had seen better days. Hope to get these re-trimmed at some point soon. I picked up a Blitz rad cap from a member on here to accompany my Blitz FMIC My centre dash panel was broken and had been hacked at to fit in a double DIN stereo (I think from Japan). So got a replacement which I am going to fettle with. With the help of another member I am now the proud owner of a set of OEM wind deflectors. My current drivers side one is badly damaged. the final treat was my eBay bargain of the year so far. a set of whifbitz OEM replica side skirts, never fitted for £60

Right-o. Just testing the water to see if anyone fancies this. I have a full carbon TRD rear spoiler, replica most likely. But its too much carbon for me,just the blade and end caps is enough Would anyone be interested in swapping me some non carbon uprights for mine? (plus a few notes my way). They are in awesome condition, im only offering this deal as i plan to spray them body colour, and spraying over real carbon is a bit criminal!! If they are already in gunmetal even better. I am at Japfest if you fancy doing it then? (saves postage etc) Matt
