The Cuban builds a raft thread (Help! Sprung leak - call SamNavy)
Im back bitches. I picked up a 95 on friday for $1k. I drove up to Pompano Beach to pick it up. It was not easy on the eyes as the top looked like it has been in the middle of a gang shooting and it has car some dings an a minor nudge in the passenger door.
As I inspected the car I noticed that the rear end had the rubber stopper- TORSEN!!!!!!! - so I drove it around for a little bit before making the final offer. It drove home like a champ, it runs very strongz.
So now the intro is done lets get on with the good ****. First I plan on doing the preliminary maintenance, belts, fluids...etc, as IDK if it has been done already. What I have for the built is:
Braineack MS
PLX300
RX7 460cc red tops
GT2860R .64a/r
Godspeed IC
Egay piping
Egay BOV
What I need to replace/upgrade is my Manifold, MS harness, and oil feed lines. BTW the Mani is up for sale or trade. Im borrowing a camera to take pictures of the car, I dont want to hear bitching about cellphone pictures.

I need a 1.8 mani and a different harness, I thought about it but it highly unlikely I used all my cash to pay for the car and the insurance. I have to wait til my next paycheck to do some spending I dont want to use my credit card. I'll finally be able to make it to the event though, unless I crash again of course.

so you pulled one of the halfshafts out to see that it had no spider gear axle?
the only thing you can tell from that spotters guide without opening up the diff:
if it does not have the rubber thingy, then it is definitely an open differential....
its too bad this is not a 'drivetrain spotters guide'
otherwise it would detail that only cars with Automatic transmissions AND open differentials did not have the rubber damper ring.
If your car is a 5-speed, you can't use this to determine open vs. torsen

All that thlink that I posted said is that you have to have the A and B package to have a Torsen. So, if it doesn't have power mirrors, it doesn't have the A Package. If it doesn't have the A package, it doesn't have a Torsen from the factory unless it was swapped in. I'd say that was unlikely on a truly stock car, but you never know.
