yeah i took that picture when i had the kit off last summer

No thats taken in my shed! obviously someone else is being naughty using my pictures!

Will also swap for e-manage if anyone has one

There are two holes for sensors on the sandwhich plate and also another two on the oil filter relocation kit.

Item For Sale: Greddy Oil cooler, thermostat, GREX relocation kit and sandwich plate, or swap for emanage Item Condition & Description: Very Good Bollox i really don't want to sell this, but i need money to get the car put onto e-manage and mapped for spring and that's not cheap! So this is going to have to go until I can get some funds to buy another one. Note: This is the proper way to hook up an oil cooler as its got the essential oil thermostat which the cheap kits don't come with, this alone is worth nearly £100 and without it the cooler wont be able to regulate your oil temp to the engine when its cold or hot. Its a quality bit of kit and does the job nicely, its also got the oil filter relocation kit and comes with the GREX sandwich plate to fit your sensors. Price: £250 Pictures: Payment & Shipping Details: Will mail, shipping £15

Emanage blue still wanted, anyone?

lol first thing i would do was burn that bitches dried roses, ohh my god!! is she real or what!! oh and blatantly racist, the cars are just an excuse, the real reason is the massive influx of Arabs now living in their posh area, that's the real problem for them, stuck up in their old British ways

Lol yours is even better you have kept the original 13inch rims ha ha, i wish i could have kept mine but the brake upgrade kit wouldnt fit behind them, i would have love to have had banded steels and it completly on the deck with the 13inch rims lol.

no probs guys, always happy to help!

yeah its the same for all LSD which you fit into a standard box

Apparently my guide wasn't transferred when we moved sites so just posted up again to those who needed it. Craig

This guide will work for any LSD Ok so it doesnt seem anyone has made a guide on how to do this, which was rather anoying considering how common it was to do! If a mod wants to sticky this that would be great to help everyone. At first the thought of taking my gearbox apart put me right off, but then so did the prospect of paying a garage £150 to do it, thats money that could go to my Td04! Anyway here is a step by step guide If i was going to rate this job in terms of difficulty like Haynes spanners, i would rate it 3 out of 5, the only difficult part i found was removing two bolts inside when splitting it, other than that its very easy. Tools required: 12mm Spanner 12mm Socket Long reach extension Rubber Mallet Parts required: Your replacement LSD, in this case a Quaife Helical New diff bearings (its advisable to change these while there out, but if yours are not old dont bother) these are about £100 from toyota so not cheap. Gearbox sealant, (instant gasket) Ok, so you should have a gearbox like this one, you will obviously need this removed from your car first, like mine below. You will need to start off by removing the 13, 12mm bolts which go around the whole middle of the gearbox. Next you need to rotate the gearbox on its side to show the bell housing, inside will be 3, 12mm bolts, remove these. You will next need to remove the bolt which is an allen key fitting on the side of the box, (mine is out already, its not the allen key one in the pic but the one above and to the right, inside there will be a cylinder (which you can see), spring and ball bearing, the cylinder can be a bit awkward to pull out, i put long nose plyers in the hole and pulled them apart to grip onto it, take these out also. (note i have removed it already and the spring inside has popped out.) If your having trouble getting this out, you can still remove the lid, then try. (dont worry the ball wont drop into the box) Now that these are all out, the gearbox casing will be ready to split, although obvious its VERY IMPORTANT to split the case with the gears sitting on the floor, this way your gears do not spill out everywhere as shown in the pics below), so your diff will be at the top. Get your rubber mallet (or in my case a hammer with a rag around it) and give a good few sharp taps to some blunt points on the case each side and you will slowly notice that box seal will break and start to come off, its sitting on dowls so you will need to keep tapping this until its ready to come off, dont whack it hard though as its aluminum so very delicate. Your casing will only split and lift off about an inch or so as there are two final 12mm bolts which will need undoing on the inside (they are holding the bottom and top together). If your diff is on the right, these two bolts are upside down on the left side, pic below with the cover off completly shows you where they are. When you take these off, make a mental note of how the metal arm is attached to the gears before you remove it. (it sits in a groove) Your gearbox casing will now lift off with those removed, it should look like this; (dont panic we dont need to touch hardly anything in here ) Ok, so your standard diff is on the right hand side and this is where we want to be, dont touch anything else! Lift the diff out its not attached, just be careful you dont drop it as its heavy, it will also come out with the large gear too, we want this as we will need to remove it from the standard diff to put on our new LSD before we fit it. Your gearbox should now look like this Here is the standard diff removed You will need to undo all the bolts on the diff, (i think there are 8 of them), once these are off you can a split the gear ring off the diff as shown below. I had to put it in a vice to hold the gear, then i used a bar with a rag around it to tap it out. Standard diff with gear removed Here is the Quaife LSD i am fitting (note it already has the new diff bearings fitted on each end) Get the gear, attach it back onto your new LSD and bolt it all back up the same way you took if off your standard diff. Once its all tight put it back carefully into the gearbox as show below. I spoke directly to Quaife about shimming and they said it will need to be shimmed to get the tollerances correct (shimmed means fitting small metal spacers in so when you put it back together, you have no play between your diff and bearings when they sit in the gearbox, otherwise your gearbox diff could float sideways back and for. I spoke to 3 people who have fitted LSD, and they didnt shim them and they havent had any problems, i still wanted to check anyway to be sure, NOTE: This next section is a right fiddly basdard, its not difficult but more to do with having a steady hand as the reverse arm will tend to pop off when your trying to tighten it up. Once its back in you need to put the reverse gear selector that you removed back on into its groove and then put those two bolts back on that you removed earlier. Remember to ensure that the arm sits in the groove correctly and then spend the next 30 mins trying to put those bolts back on, its really fiddly and i dropped the bolt at the bottom of the gearbox a few times trying, so if you have a magnetic probe it would help. Now that you have got it back on, get your instant gasket sealer and put a coat of it along the rim of the entire gearbox, ensure its fully covered and then lower your gearbox case back down. Reattach the 13, 12mm bolts, the 3 bolts in the bell housing and dont forget to put back in the ball bearing and spring allen key bolt. Thats it, well done job done. Update 25th Nov 2011 - Gearbox is still going strong 12 months on since fitting diff, so no problems to write about yet above. The quaiffe is brilliant, no clunks or horrible noises, you cant tell its in there except it bloody flys around corners now. I also noticed that there is considerable less torque steer now running 200bhp than using the standard diff, although when you take your foot off the power in a straight line it can be a bit twitchy, but otherwise its bloody amazing There seems to be loads of confusion on the forum over damaging the 5th gear syncro doing this job, just to note, removing the diff this way is impossible to do this as you are splitting the box the other way. (although it is more tricky to get at those two 12mm bolts inside) the damaging the 5th gear myth comes from when you do it the other way around, as you will have all the gears out and you need a puller to get the 5th gear off, which is where damage can occur if your not careful. Doing it this way is the best in my opinion if you only need to change your diff!! as you dont need a puller either and dont touch any gears while doing it!

I have done the sleeper for the last 12 months, i am just mixing it up a bit. I am going to try and make the spoiler so its removable with some kind of clipping system, that way i can fit it for when i am on track or off it , also the plus side of clips is that if i can manage it i can do them underneath the spoiler to hold it on, rather than putting in unsightly rivets, either way should be good!!

Well the coilovers on mine are really stiff, so much so its a bit of a bone shaker, but its setup for the track more than the road. So if you sit on the front corner, the car barely moves ha ha. Its this reason i wasnt really bothered about not fitting the ARB, purely because there is virtually no body roll anyway, so my lower arms i am guessing barely move. It seems to handle ok in the corners, although i do notice that the car has a tendency to just drift forwards when turning if you apply loads of power, but i think this is more to do with the front end wheel spinning and losing traction so it understeers. I am really curious to see what it goes like on the track around corners, could definitely do with some more grip on the front end, so i have got some sticky Yoko A048's to go on the thing. There is also no sway bar the cars front suspension layout aside from the coilovers is standard, I do have a lower arm bar on mine though to help stiffen the chassis up, have also got a top mount strut brace in the boot. I am just hoping the thing doesn't kill me on track ha ha, its a bit scary without a roll cage in!

Yeah i love the chatter

yeah i love it, i just found the guy who makes them in Ireland!, love the car by the way

Found a TRD replica spoiler that some fella makes in ireland, think i am going to get one for the new year http://cars.donedeal...arparts/4115970 I noticed Browner is using one on his boxy and with any luck mine should look like that once finished

ah just as well i didn't try and fit it to mine then!!

ohh my god!! I am so full right now my fat fingers can barely push my new iPad buttons ha ha

He charges to fit it and and it's a relatively simple job so I was going to plumb it in rdy for tuning save my self some cash

I'm still looking for one for sale, anyone seen anything

Yeah i think thats the standard EP71 spoiler by the looks of it, how much is that going for, I cant bloody make heads nor tails of that website with all that jap text lol!!

yeah thats the one I am after, looks cool! No bloody idea where to get it from though!!

I fancy giving my boxy a bit of a facelift for the newyear, I am trying to find a spoiler for it, possibly the Si limited standard one or maybe a liversports one. Can anyone help out in finding me one, or point me in the right direction?
