evinX Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Sweet, lovely garage there with 2 veilside supra, I LIKE IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The fog light switch was a rather fun job to get wired up All you should need is an illuminated switch as we ran it off the rear break light - although the earth cable used was the wrong thickness - but that shouldnt matter. Ill have to pester Craig until he gets another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Awesome, was scrolling through about to say very nice but unsure about the wheels and seen you had already done it quick work and nice car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 just found out this new soup has a torsen diff. yayy. it felt a bit lively on the damp road and i could hold it sideways much easyer than my other with both wheels spining , so i checked the vin and sure enough its a B as apposed the usual A would this be the same as the dif on the tt auto that i have just baught for the other soup?

JS2004 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 What does that mean as mine also has the B and it was Craig that pointed it out, but said it was an LSD (or is that the same thing??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 yea similar a torsen diff is a clever lsd . most na's have the A open diff wich is not as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
