ok, so although we’re thinking the same thing about OEM diffs, its probably going to be easier for me to buy a transmission without one and go the aftermarket route.

I haven’t done my research on gearing yet, but i’m open to suggestions. There are an infinite number of options that are available to me since I’m going to be opening it up anyway for the LSD.

well i would go with a dc5r or ep3r used oem diff. they can be sourced for under 400$ usually. and as far as gearing goes

holy crap, I assumed the DC5R would go for much more than the type-s (~$800 from what i’ve seen) If you see one again for $400 let me know ASAP.

this ones a little more but still less than 800

we just sold 2 oem diffs for 350 each

used oem diff is an awesome route. they are affordable, plentiful, and work great!

ah, I thought we were talking about the complete transmission. Just the diff makes a hell of a lot more sense. thanks for the links.

can someone vouch for me here? http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=80356

Why do I get fucked over by everybody

I just vouched for yah… see if you cant get greg or joey to vouch for yah, I know gregs got a good amount of posts and I assume joey would too

thanks, I appreciate it.

holy crap, what’s wrong with people. Can’t even admit when caught in a lie.

fuck it, I was going to wait another week but what the hell, teaser shot.

seems like your gettin there though

bit by bit. Hopefully he’ll come around.

i knew that pile of scrap was the rear firewall. are you welding eg front bulkheads into the rear? or building a tube framework?

My goal is to do neither and to keep the maximum amount of factory steel intact and uncompromised (but with significant reinforcements of course).

I’m still working on various solutions to this challenge, but it will be interesting to say the least.

Oh wow.

Edit: The oh wow, was at the RWD, which is awesome. Then I read through the FS thread on K20. Wow, again. You just have the worst luck with buying/selling shit. Hope all goes well Mike. For the record the axle you sold me awhile ago is in the car and working fine still lol.

to make matters worse for me, take a look at what paypal said:
